    Episode 24 - What If He Changes
    Jul 6 2025
    Welcome back to the Divorced AF Podcast for Episode 24, What If He Changes? In this powerful episode, Audrey dives into the emotional turbulence that can arise when an ex starts to "get it together"—after the decision to divorce has already been made. She shares a heartfelt client story and reflects on her own journey, inviting listeners to pause and consider how to navigate the uncertainty that can arise when someone from your past begins to show signs of change. This episode is for anyone who's ever asked themselves, "Did I make the right decision?" and needs a reminder to trust themselves deeply. The Mission of Divorced AF Audrey opens by reflecting on the nearing milestone of 25 episodes and revisiting the core mission of the podcast: to create solace, community, and support for women navigating the often isolating journey of divorce. She encourages listeners to share the podcast with others who may be silently struggling, reminding us that healing often begins when we realize we're not alone. When Change Creates Confusion Audrey shares the story of a client who, despite being grounded in her decision to separate, finds herself questioning it as her ex begins to evolve—going to therapy, showing up more for their child, and seemingly transforming. Audrey offers perspective by reflecting on her own clarity during her divorce, noting that change, even when positive, doesn't always mean reconciliation is the right move. Following Your Gut In a conversation centered around intuition, Audrey reminds her client—and all listeners—that gut instincts are often louder than logic. For this particular client, who is a sacral authority in Human Design, the gut is not just a feeling but a guide. Audrey warns that decisions made from a sense of guilt, duty, or people-pleasing tend to breed resentment and invites listeners to get quiet and listen to their bodies. Human Design as a Decision-Making Tool Audrey introduces Human Design as a powerful framework for understanding how to make aligned decisions. She shares resources like mybodygraph.com and highlights how different authorities (like sacral) can provide insight when facing difficult choices. The takeaway? Don't make life-altering decisions based on what others want—make them from a place of personal truth. The Impact on the Kids When children are involved, the stakes feel even higher. Audrey encourages her client to keep the children out of the decision-making process until her own heart is clear. Transparency and emotional honesty matter, but so does shielding kids from confusion. Ultimately, parents must make the hard decisions so their children don't have to. Not All Love Is Meant to Last Forever Audrey reminds listeners that it's okay to outgrow relationships. Just because someone is changing now doesn't erase the past—or mean the future will be aligned. She emphasizes that many people have had multiple significant relationships and that divorce, though painful, can be a path to expansion rather than contraction. "I know it's hard when the person you once loved starts showing up differently, especially when you wished they had been that person all along. But your body knows. Your intuition knows. And I'm here to remind you: you don't have to go backward just because it looks different now. Thank you for tuning in, for being part of this growing community, and for showing up for yourself. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to leave a review and share it with a friend. You never know who needs it. Until next time—stay strong, stay honest, and stay Divorced AF."

  • Episode 23 - What You Want and Moving Through Discomfort

    Episode 23 - What You Want and Moving Through Discomfort
    Jun 29 2025
    In this milestone 23rd episode of the Divorced AF podcast, Audrey takes a powerful look back at the journey of launching the show and speaks to the very real, very raw discomfort that comes with life after divorce. Whether it's the fear of starting something new, navigating emotional landmines with an ex, or waiting for the "right moment" to feel happy again—Audrey is here to challenge all of it. This episode is a permission slip to stop waiting for the discomfort to pass and start living the life you want now. From Fear to Flight: The Podcast Origin Story Audrey reflects on the humble beginnings of the Divorced AF Podcast, sharing how fear and imposter syndrome nearly stopped her from pressing record. She opens up about the early doubts around identity and public speaking—and how working with Jen as her podcast producer made it all possible. This behind-the-scenes look is a reminder that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Divorce Coaching: Meeting Women Where They Are Audrey explains what it means to be a divorce coach and how her podcast episodes are inspired by real client conversations. She discusses a common theme: the belief that peace and happiness are only possible after the divorce is finalized. Audrey challenges this mindset, offering a bold alternative—what if closure isn't required to feel free? Feel It All: Sadness, Stress, and the Power of Now Happiness doesn't have to wait. Audrey breaks down the idea that emotional healing and joy are only valid once a divorce is legally over. Instead, she empowers listeners to claim those feelings right now, even if sadness, anger, or anxiety are still present. It's not about avoiding emotions—it's about making space for all of them. Boundaries, Nervous Systems, and Ex-Drama Audrey shares her own moments of emotional upheaval and the tools she uses to stay grounded: guided visualizations, meditation, and journaling. She also dives into the importance of boundaries—like choosing not to respond to certain texts—and why that's not just self-protection, but a power move. Reclaiming Control in Divorce Conflicts When you're stuck in reactive mode, you lose your sense of control. Audrey walks listeners through the trap of trying to manage an ex's behavior and offers a shift: focus on your own boundaries instead. With the support of lawyers, mediators, or coaches, you can stand your ground and reclaim your peace—even during the messiest parts. Discomfort Isn't a Sign You're Doing It Wrong Using examples like job interviews and pregnancy, Audrey normalizes discomfort as part of any major transformation. She reframes discomfort not as a red flag, but as proof you're moving forward. Consistency, intention, and the willingness to feel uncomfortable are all part of the path to what you want. Joy Can Start Today Audrey closes the episode with a powerful truth: you don't need closure to move on. You don't need to wait for the perfect circumstances to be happy. The discomfort of divorce is real, but so is your power to find joy in the middle of it. You just have to decide. A Message From Audrey If you take anything from this episode, let it be this: you don't have to wait. You don't need permission. You can be happy, even when it's hard. I know how uncomfortable this process can be—I've lived it. But every step you take through that discomfort is a step closer to the life you want. Thank you for listening, thank you for sharing this space with me, and please, if this episode resonated with you, send it to a friend who needs it. We're all in this together. —Audrey Join the Divorced AF Community! Love this episode? Show some love! 💜 Like, subscribe, rate, and review to help others find this podcast.

  • Episode 22 – When Do You Know

    Episode 22 – When Do You Know
    Jun 22 2025

    In this deeply personal episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey explores one of the most haunting questions women ask themselves when their relationship starts to unravel: When do you know it's time to leave? With raw honesty and empathy, she opens up about the internal struggle, the fears, and the turning points that make this decision feel impossible—until it isn't. Whether you're currently in a relationship that no longer feels aligned or you're reflecting on the moment you made your exit, this episode is filled with relatable moments and real-talk clarity that will leave you feeling seen.

    The Question That Lingers

    Audrey begins the episode by acknowledging the universal nature of the question, "When do you know?" She explains that for many women, especially those with kids or long histories with their partners, this question is heavy and ever-present. It's not just about dissatisfaction—it's about safety, self-worth, and whether there's anything left to rebuild.

    The Signs You Can't Ignore

    Audrey shares common internal and external signs that it may be time to go, including emotional exhaustion, loss of identity, growing resentment, and repeated cycles of false hope. She encourages listeners to trust their intuition, especially when their body and mind are signaling that something isn't right.

    The Guilt That Keeps You Stuck

    In this segment, Audrey discusses the guilt many women feel when even thinking about leaving. From fear of breaking up a family to cultural expectations and self-judgment, she names the shame and reminds listeners that guilt often keeps us in a state of survival instead of living fully.

    The Moment You Finally Know

    Audrey walks through what "knowing" can look like—not always a dramatic moment, but often a slow accumulation of truths. She shares her own "final straw" story and the calm clarity that followed. She offers encouragement for those who still feel unsure, letting them know that knowing doesn't always come quickly, but it does come.

    A Message from Audrey

    This episode was a tough one to record because I know what it feels like to sit in the unknown. If you're listening and you're there—questioning, doubting, feeling stuck—I just want you to know, you're not alone. You don't have to justify your pain or wait until it's unbearable to make a move. Your knowing will come. And when it does, you'll be ready.
    I'm so proud of you for even asking the question.

  • Episode 21 - All The Advice and Opinions

    Episode 21 - All The Advice and Opinions
    Jun 15 2025
    Welcome back to the Divorced AF Podcast with your host Audrey Alice. In this empowering episode, Audrey shares her candid reflections on navigating life's major transitions—especially divorce—while being inundated with everyone else's advice and opinions. From the outdated and unhelpful to the downright discouraging, Audrey unpacks how external input often complicates an already complex process. She explores what it means to reclaim your narrative, believe in your inner wisdom, and tune out the noise to pursue your own truth with conviction and courage. Why Everyone Thinks They Know Best Audrey opens the episode by welcoming listeners. She sets the stage for today's topic: the overwhelming abundance of advice people receive when they're going through major life changes like divorce, motherhood, or starting a business. Audrey names the elephant in the room—unsolicited advice—and how it can make an already hard situation feel heavier. Divorcing Without a Playbook Audrey reflects on her own divorce back in 2017 and the isolating experience of having to figure it out alone. At the time, there weren't many resources or relatable role models showing what life after divorce could really look like—especially for women in their 40s, single moms, or those without family experience of divorce. Most of the advice she did receive came from people who hadn't walked in her shoes and left her questioning herself and her choices. Unsolicited Advice & Its Emotional Toll Audrey dives into the damage that well-meaning but misaligned advice can cause. From therapy-shaming to the pressure of staying "for the kids," she details how these inputs created unnecessary doubt and shame during an already turbulent time. Often, the advice centered on fear and scarcity, reinforcing a narrative that divorce had to be a story of struggle instead of strength. From Surviving to Thriving Audrey shares how becoming a coach and investing in her own healing helped her quiet the outside world and listen to her own voice. The pandemic, despite its challenges, became a turning point—one where she could focus on herself, pursue personal growth, and launch a new business. She encourages others to see their doubt not as a stop sign, but as a signal to dig deeper into their own power. Tune Out the Noise, Tune In to You The heart of the episode lands here—Audrey's call to listeners to stop giving other people's opinions more weight than their own inner knowing. She affirms that we all have the power to shape our lives and create new realities, as long as we're brave enough to trust ourselves. The real transformation, she says, happens when we stop seeking permission and start following our intuition. Audrey's Closing Message If you're feeling overwhelmed by everyone's advice right now, take a breath. You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need to listen to the opinions of people who haven't lived your life. You are the creator of your own story, and you get to rewrite the narrative anytime you want. Feel your feelings. Honor where you are. And most importantly, trust yourself. You've got this. Join the Divorced AF Community! Love this episode?

  • Episode 20 - Who Do You Talk To

    Episode 20 - Who Do You Talk To
    Jun 8 2025
    In this episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey shares an inspired and heartfelt reflection on the power of having someone in your corner during a divorce. Whether you're navigating the practical or emotional aftermath, Audrey explores why talking about it—really talking about it—can be a game changer. From her own story to those of her clients, she unpacks the role of a divorce coach, the shifting societal view on marriage, and the importance of rebuilding support when old systems fall away. If you've ever felt like you're doing this alone, this episode will help you realize—you don't have to. Introduction and Purpose of the Podcast Audrey welcomes listeners with warmth and presence, fresh from a client session that sparked today's conversation. She opens up about the purpose of this episode: to highlight the crucial role of support during divorce, particularly the often-overlooked benefit of having a divorce coach. She introduces BNI (Business Network International) as a networking tool that connects professionals through referrals, and shares how meaningful client stories can shape new conversations. Role and Benefits of a Divorce Coach Audrey explains what a divorce coach really does—and why that role can be so pivotal. A coach isn't just a cheerleader or therapist; they're a mirror, a reminder of how far you've come, and a steady hand when everything else feels uncertain. Much like how you don't see your kids growing daily, we often miss our own growth—until someone reflects it back. Through coaching, clients gain clarity around goals like healing, custody, and co-parenting. Personal growth is lifelong, and the coach helps keep that journey grounded and intentional. Breaking the Stigma of Divorce The episode takes a powerful turn as Audrey challenges the societal shame around divorce. She reframes it not as a failure but as the natural end to a relationship that served its time. Drawing on cultural shifts and the evolution of women's roles, she sheds light on why more people—especially women—are choosing their own peace and happiness. Divorce doesn't have to mean defeat; it can be a powerful completion. The Importance of Talking About Divorce Audrey stresses how critical it is to talk about divorce—not just with anyone, but with someone who gets it. Friends and family may mean well but often fall short. Lawyers focus on legal logistics, not emotional healing. A divorce coach, on the other hand, is trained to hold space, guide through the messy middle, and offer true, unbiased support during the storm. Loss of Support Networks During Divorce The grief of divorce goes far beyond the relationship itself. Audrey compassionately speaks to the layered losses—of identity, future dreams, and support systems. Many clients feel abandoned by friends or family who don't know how to show up. A coach helps them mourn those losses and build new, solid ground. Her insights are grounded in both lived experience and the stories of the many women she walks alongside. Conclusion and Call to Action Audrey wraps up with a personal reflection on her own divorce journey and the loneliness that led her to become a divorce coach. She believes in the power of having someone in your corner—someone who helps you transform "I can't" into "I did." She encourages listeners to reach out if they need support, or to share this podcast with someone who does. This community exists to remind you that you're not alone, and your comeback story is already unfolding. I know what it feels like to walk through divorce with no one to talk to—really talk to. That's why I became a divorce coach. If you're feeling isolated or like you're supposed to "have it all together," I want you to know you don't have to do this alone. There is a better, more supported way through, and I hope this episode reminded you of that. Keep showing up for yourself, and if you ever need someone to walk with you—I'm right here.

  • Episode 19 – Overthinking & Underfeeling

    Episode 19 – Overthinking & Underfeeling
    Jun 1 2025
    In this heartfelt and powerful episode, Audrey dives deep into a topic that hits close to home for many divorced mothers—overthinking. She unpacks how overthinking and overfunctioning often act as protective shields, keeping us from feeling our emotions. Drawing from personal experience and conversations with clients, Audrey explores how this coping mechanism shows up, especially in solo parenting, and offers gentle reminders and strategies to break the cycle. This is an invitation to pause, feel, and heal. Overthinking is Underfeeling Audrey introduces the theme of the episode by challenging a common habit many mothers experience—overthinking. She explains that constantly analyzing, planning, or fixing is often a way to avoid feeling deep emotions. Through personal stories and client examples, Audrey brings awareness to the truth behind this pattern and begins to peel back the layers. The Challenge of Solo Parenting Parenting alone often demands high levels of responsibility and structure. Audrey talks about how difficult it is to shift from doing mode (masculine energy) to being mode (feminine energy) when you're managing everything yourself. She points out how our nervous systems gravitate toward what's familiar—even if that means staying in a cycle of busyness and stress. When the Mind Takes Over Audrey discusses how being stuck in our heads can block access to our emotions. When we live in logic and structure, we disconnect from what our bodies are trying to tell us. She stresses the importance of slowing down and allowing space for feelings to arise, reminding listeners that real clarity often comes in the stillness. Letting Yourself Feel Audrey encourages listeners to get comfortable with their emotions instead of pushing them away. She shares examples of how anxiety, fear, and anger can manifest in the body and why it's so important to create safe spaces for those emotions to move through. Feeling is the first step to healing. Breaking the Overthinking Cycle Overthinking and overfunctioning can create a toxic loop of anxiety and stress. Audrey offers practical strategies—like tuning into physical sensations, taking intentional pauses, and asking "What would be loving right now?"—to help interrupt this cycle. She speaks especially to the mothers doing it all, validating their experiences while showing them another way forward. Permission to Rest Rest isn't something to be earned—it's essential. Audrey discusses the societal expectations that drive us to do more and be more, and how that leads to burnout. She invites listeners to step back, rest, and be present with what's around them. Taking a break is not a weakness; it's a radical act of self-care. If you take one thing away from today, let it be this: overthinking is underfeeling. The more we fill the space with action, the less room we leave for truth to rise. I see you, especially the solo mamas out there navigating this on your own. I know it's not easy, but I'm so damn proud of the way you keep showing up. Keep giving yourself grace, keep pausing when you can, and keep letting yourself feel. You're not broken—you're transforming. And as always, if this episode touched you, share it with another woman who needs to hear she's not alone. Let's keep rising, together.

  • Episode 18 - Mum guilt

    Episode 18 - Mum guilt
    May 25 2025
    In this heartfelt episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey takes on the all-too-familiar topic of "mum guilt"—the emotional weight many mothers carry, whether they're working, staying at home, or somewhere in between. Audrey shares real-life reflections, including her own recent experiences with guilt around traveling, parenting, and giving herself permission to grow. She invites listeners to reframe guilt, stop blaming themselves for their children's emotions, and lean into the joy of building a new normal—one that honors both their kids and their own personal fulfillment. Mum Guilt and Its Impact on Parenting Audrey opens the episode by acknowledging that mum guilt doesn't discriminate—it affects all mothers. She speaks to the inner tension working moms feel about missing time with their kids, and stay-at-home moms feel about needing space. Through a personal story about yelling at her kids, she highlights how quickly guilt sets in and how tough it can be to let go. Audrey's Upcoming Trip to Toronto With transparency and humor, Audrey shares her plans to attend a five-night event in Toronto and the guilt that initially surfaced around leaving her kids. She walks through how her children are independent and capable, and how she's reframing this trip as an example of leadership, trust, and growth—for both her and her kids. Choosing Growth and Joy Audrey makes a compelling case for mothers to choose joy, even if it means stepping away for a bit. Sharing a touching conversation with her oldest son, she emphasizes how children benefit from seeing their mothers thrive. Her message is clear: growing as a woman makes you a better mother. Letting Go of Guilt and Embracing Fulfillment Audrey challenges mothers to release guilt around their personal choices—whether it's working, traveling, or simply taking a break. She reminds listeners that what matters most is that choices are made with joy, not obligation. Independence in kids, she says, is a gift that comes from trust and modeling self-respect. Stop Blaming Divorce for Everything Audrey shares a client story about blaming divorce for a child's emotional reactions. She pushes back on the idea that all big feelings stem from separation, encouraging mothers to allow kids to feel what they need to feel—and to stop holding themselves solely responsible for those emotions. Survival Mode to New Normal Reflecting on life post-divorce, Audrey talks about the shift from survival mode to building a new normal. She urges mothers to see the progress they've made, recognize their strength, and celebrate the life they're creating—not just for their children, but for themselves too. Supporting Women Through All Seasons Audrey closes with gratitude, noting how her words resonate not just with divorced women, but with married mothers too. She celebrates the community growing around the podcast and encourages women to continue lifting each other up, one story at a time. I want you to hear this: You are doing a great job. Mum guilt is loud, but your joy, your growth, and your self-trust can be louder. I've been there—questioning, second-guessing, worrying I'm not enough. But the truth is, when you choose yourself with love, you show your kids how to do the same. Whether you're divorced, married, or figuring it all out, I see you. Thank you for listening and for sharing this space with me. If this episode helped you, pass it on to a mama who needs to hear that she's not alone. We're in this together.

  • Episode 17 - Doing It All

    Episode 17 - Doing It All
    May 18 2025
    In this powerful episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey tackles the myth of "doing it all" and the overwhelming pressure society places on women—especially divorced mothers—to flawlessly manage work, family, and household duties. Audrey gets real about the burnout, emotional toll, and the importance of protecting your mental and physical health by choosing what truly lights you up. Through raw storytelling and practical advice, she encourages listeners to give themselves permission to say no, change their minds, and prioritize joy. The Myth of "Doing It All" Audrey opens up about the unrealistic expectations women face to handle everything—career, parenting, and household responsibilities—with little acknowledgment or support. She breaks down the emotional exhaustion that comes from trying to meet these standards and reminds listeners that being labeled "hysterical" is often the result of being pushed beyond capacity. It's an Illusion Sharing from her personal life, Audrey confesses that she doesn't "do it all"—and no one really does. From outsourcing dinner to letting go of perfection, she encourages listeners to release the guilt and instead focus on what truly brings them joy and peace. Choose What Lights You Up Audrey challenges listeners to take inventory of their time and commitments. Are your to-do lists filled with things that energize you—or just obligations? She offers empowering advice on choosing activities that align with your values and letting go of the rest, even if it means changing your mind. Breaking the People-Pleasing Habit Revisiting themes from a previous episode, Audrey dives into how people-pleasing keeps women stuck in burnout and resentment. She reminds listeners that it's okay to say no without explanation—and that doing so is a radical act of self-respect. Burnout, Relationships, and Radical Self-Care Audrey shares a vulnerable moment from her past: burning out in 2023 while juggling too much and staying in a relationship out of fear. Her message? Prioritize yourself. Whether it's food, sleep, or emotional health, self-care is non-negotiable. Reevaluating Your Work and Your Worth Audrey asks a tough question: Is your job fulfilling you—or just draining you? She speaks to the fear of failure, encourages listeners to trust in their potential, and reminds them that it's okay to walk away from anything that isn't aligned with who they truly are. Saying No to Protect Your Peace Protecting your mental health might mean disappointing others—and Audrey says that's okay. She urges listeners to value their well-being more than being understood or liked, because peace is priceless. Listen, you don't have to do it all. You were never meant to. It's okay to rest. It's okay to say no. It's okay to protect your peace. I've been called crazy by people who didn't understand my healing—and honestly, that's a badge of honor. If you're in a season of reclaiming your energy, your time, and your joy, I see you. You're not alone.
