Have you ever felt your brain working overtime desperately trying to project-manage every conversation, decision, and outcome of your divorce only to end up completely exhausted?

In this first episode of The Anatomy of Divorce, I break down why separation sends your mind into overdrive and how the fear of uncertainty can trick you into false control. I share why your brain spirals into anxiety loops during divorce, and how knowing this can help you reclaim your calm.

I'm introducing you to the Anchor-a-Day Method a simple but powerful practice to steady yourself when emotions run high. Think micro-moments of intention that bring you back to your body, your breath, and your sense of self.

Do you really need to get under someone to get over someone? It’s a question that often comes up after separation or divorce, and in this episode, I talk with Clinical Psychology Registrar – Psychologist Ben Schiller to explore if there is any truth behind it.

We discuss the emotional pull of rebound sex and new relationships, why it’s so tempting to dive straight into something (or someone) new, and whether that really helps ease the loneliness and grief that can follow a breakup. Is it a distraction or does it help you heal? And how understanding our own emotional patterns can make all the difference. It's a BIG conversation with great insights.

Can happiness and divorce exist in the same sentence?

If you’ve ever felt like your life was supposed to follow a certain script, find the one, live happily ever after, then this episode is for you. But what happens when that story falls apart? Are we destined to be unhappy, or is there another way?

I’m joined by Stephanie Harrison, author of New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That’s Got It Wrong. Stephanie offers a fresh perspective on happiness, breaking down the outdated myths we’ve been sold, what she calls Old Happy and showing us how to create a New Happy, even in the wake of divorce.

This episode will challenge the way you think about happiness, success, and starting over. If you’re navigating the grief, guilt, or loneliness that often comes with separation, Stephanie’s insights will help you reframe your experience and find hope in the possibility of a more authentic and fulfilling life.
