Divorce can make even simple choices feel impossible because you’re not just changing your schedule, you’re rebuilding your identity. When you’re flooded with decisions about where to live, how to co-parent, what work looks like now, and who you want to be on the other side, you need something steadier than opinions and “shoulds.” That’s where your values come in.

I share why personal values are one of the most overlooked tools for divorce recovery and life after divorce, and how getting clear on what truly matters to you creates a practical decision-making compass. I talk about the difference between values you inherited from family, religion, or culture and the values you actively choose because they fit your intuition, your lived experience, and the woman you’re becoming.

I also dig into extrinsic goals versus intrinsic goals and why chasing outside approval can feel so gross. You’ll understand how patriarchy uses measuring sticks for women to live a constrained life and how to decide whether you want to continue using those measuring sticks in your own life.

You’ll leave with with prompts to identify a handful of core values and start using them as a filter for relationships, boundaries, rest, authenticity, and your next big steps.

Your kids don’t need a perfect script. They need you regulated, clear, and willing to hold space for whatever they might feel without making them responsible for yours. I’ll walk you through telling your children you’re getting a divorce, and doing it in a way that helps protect their sense of safety, love, and stability.

I share how to prepare before the conversation. I talk about the timing of having this conversation and a few ways to give your kids extra support after they hear the news of the divorce.

Then I lay out the five most important things your kids need to hear most when you tell them about the divorce. If you know this conversation is coming up for you and your kids, this episode is a MUST listen.

If the voice in your head gets cruel after divorce, it can feel like you’ll never be “okay” again, even when you’re doing everything you can to hold life together. I’m digging into the one skill that changes the entire healing process: self-compassion. Not the fake kind that says “it’s all fine,” but the kind that helps you stay accountable without drowning in shame.

I look at why self-criticism feels like motivation but actually keeps you stuck. When you beat yourself up, your nervous system reads it as danger, your danger response goes up, and the part of you that can problem-solve and make wise choices gets dimmer. It's why you can’t hate yourself into healing. From there, I teach you how to easily start using self-compassion by becoming your own inner ally.

I also share Kristin Neff’s three elements of self-compassion and end with a simple, repeatable practice you can use the moment the “mean girl” voice shows up. If you’re ready for deeper support, I also offer a free 30-minute call and one-on-one coaching for women navigating divorce and rebuilding self-trust.
