Are you doing it again? Stuffing down what you feel, pretending you don't see what you see? I'm here to tell you the biggest mistake in divorce isn't hiring the wrong attorney or fumbling the asset split — it's trying to outrun your feelings. You can run, but you can't hide. In this episode, I'm getting real about why feelings aren't weakness — they're strategy — and why bypassing them puts you at the biggest disadvantage of all.

In this episode:

- Why the feelings you stuff down don't fade — they fester (and what happens when they finally find a way out)

- The one seat at the table nobody else can fill for you — and why your attorney, financial advisor, and therapist can't take it

- What "I'm ready to feel" actually unlocks — and how it changes the way you move through your divorce and your life

Feelings are meant to be felt.

If you've caught yourself saying "I'll be okay when my kids are okay... when the divorce is over... when my finances settle down..." — this conversation is for you.

Inspired by a raw post from my friend Sarah Tacy, I'm talking about what to do when you're NOT okay — and why your wellbeing can't be contingent on external forces you don't control.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- The "default settings" that hijack you when you're triggered — and why they're actually valuable intel in your divorce

- The one-line mic drop from a nervous system coach that stopped me in my tracks (and might change how you see your entire divorce)

- A simple discernment question that instantly clears up mental and emotional space (most mamas have never asked it)

- What your body is trying to tell you that your mind keeps talking over

The condition you're in while divorcing directly impacts how you show up for everything else, mama. It's okay to not be okay — and it's even better to figure out what you need.

Divorce can feel like a spin cycle — fast, chaotic, decision after decision, landmine after landmine. You think you have to match its pace until you cross the finish line.

But here's what I've learned: the quickest way to calm the chaos isn't another lawyer or strategy session. It's getting still in the eye of the storm and asking yourself one deceptively simple question.

In this episode, I'm inviting you to step off the dancefloor of people-pleasing and self-abandonment, and back into your own life.

- Why awareness is the portal to everything that changes next.

- How "keeping the peace" is often just code for avoidance.

- Why taking care of yourself isn't selfish — it's how you protect your kids and your divorce.

- The one question (plus a mantra) to stop the spiral.

Healing isn't about doing more, mama. It's about less drama, less self-abandonment, less chaos. Come find out what becomes possible when you put your needs back into the equation.

I find divorce metaphors everywhere, and this one came straight from the NBA playoffs. But stay with me, because if you're navigating a divorce, this one might just shift you into a more empowered mindset.

In this episode, I'll walk you through:

There isn't a mother I've coached who isn't terrified of getting her kids through the divorce. I walked those same shoes, and I want to share the one piece of advice that's changed everything for the women I work with: get in, get out, get it over with. In this episode, I'll show you why ending the dysfunction quickly — not fighting to be "right" — is the real divorce strategy.

- Why the "yeah buts" keep you stuck for years (and what each one is really costing you, your kids, and your future)

- What fighting actually buys you — and the steep price you pay in money, time, and lifeforce to get it

- The snakebite story that reframes everything about chasing your ex's accountability

- The one question to ask before every decision so you stop getting lost in the weeds

There's a beautiful new life waiting on the other side of this, mama. Let's go get it.

I want to sit with you for just a couple of minutes, mama. Because what I'm about to share with you stopped me in my tracks when I rediscovered it — and I knew I had to bring it straight to you.

It's a poem I first found as a young woman, with no idea how many chapters of my life it would speak to. Divorce or no divorce, it has something to say to every one of us.

In this episode, I'm sharing Autobiography in Five Chapters by Portia Nelson — and unpacking why it matters so much right now, wherever you are in your journey:

- Why we keep walking down the same street — and falling into the same hole — even when our eyes are wide open

- How to take agency over the one thing that's fully in your control right now: your thoughts

- What it actually means to create capacity for yourself to heal in the middle of the hardest chapter of your life

- The simple invitation that could shift everything: is it time to walk down another street?

Find a quiet corner, ground your feet, and take this one in. I promise it'll feed your soul.

School's out — and if you're navigating divorce, the sound of that ice cream truck might feel a little distant right now. This one's your reminder to listen for it anyway.

In this episode, I'm handing you a permission slip, mama: to breathe, to laugh, and to be fully present with your kids this summer — even while you're still in the thick of it.

- Your kids are feeling everything, even what isn't spoken — and there are specific cues you'll want to know how to read.

- The thing most mamas get wrong about overwhelm — and why less is actually more this summer.

- Why it's not only okay to take a break from divorce — it might be the most important thing you do all season.

- What your inner child already knows that your anxious, over-scheduled self has forgotten.

You don't have to agree to be miserable just because you're navigating a divorce. This ending is also a beginning — and it can still have room for belly laughs!
