Divorce is often framed as a failure or loss. But for many, it can be a profound opportunity to intentionally reset and purposefully decide what's next. In this episode of The Sparkle Project, Emily sits down with divorce recovery coach Leah Marie Mazur to explore how divorce and other major life transitions can become opportunities to reconnect with yourself, rebuild self-trust, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are now.

Drawing from her own experience with divorce and the women she supports through divorce recovery, Leah shares how self-abandonment can quietly show up through people pleasing, ignored boundaries, and constantly looking outside yourself for answers. She and Emily talk about what changes when you begin checking in with yourself again and why rebuilding doesn’t require transforming your entire life overnight.

They also explore the unique experience of navigating divorce as a mom, including how to make room for your own emotions while supporting your children and why kids may benefit more from seeing healthy ways of navigating adversity than from seeing a parent who appears to have everything together.

In this conversation, you’ll hear about:

• How people pleasing can disconnect you from your own wants and needs
• Why keeping small promises to yourself can rebuild self-trust
• Reframing divorce as an opportunity to reflect, reset, and make different choices
• Rediscovering your interests and identity after years of prioritizing everyone else
• How hobbies, new experiences, and community can support your confidence
• Caring for your emotional well-being while parenting through divorce

If you’re navigating divorce, starting over after another major life transition, or simply realizing you’ve lost touch with yourself somewhere along the way, this episode is an invitation to ask a new question: What do I want my life to look like from here?
