  1. 5 Fresh Tips: How to Talk to Your Children About Your Divorce with Therapist Oona Metz

    5 Fresh Tips: How to Talk to Your Children About Your Divorce with Therapist Oona Metz

    In this episode of 5 Fresh Tips, therapist and author Oona Metz addresses one of the most stressful and emotionally loaded moments in the divorce process: talking to your kids about divorce when your partner is unwilling, avoidant, or refuses to participate. With nearly 30 years of clinical experience and over 15 years leading divorce support groups for women, Oona offers calm, expert guidance grounded in child development, emotional safety, and real-world parenting dynamics. Oona shares practical, step-by-step divorce recovery tips for navigating this conversation solo, including how to explain divorce in age-appropriate language, what not to say, and how to respond when children ask hard questions. She explains why clarity and honesty—without oversharing—help children feel safer during family transitions, and how one emotionally grounded parent can stabilize kids even when co-parenting strategies aren’t aligned. This episode also covers emotional resilience for parents, especially single moms carrying the weight of both the logistics and the emotional labor of divorce. The conversation draws on themes from Oona’s book, Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide for Women, which focuses on the emotional journey of divorce rather than legal tactics. Listeners will walk away with actionable tools, reassurance that they don’t need to “do this perfectly,” and a powerful mindset shift: protecting your children’s emotional wellbeing does not require mutual agreement—it requires presence, consistency, and care.

  7. 5 Fresh Tips: Find Your Voice After Divorce with Writer and Director Dara Resnik

    5 Fresh Tips: Find Your Voice After Divorce with Writer and Director Dara Resnik

    5 Fresh Tips: Find Your Voice After Divorce with Writer and Director Dara ResnikFiguring out how to find your voice after divorce can feel overwhelming. Many people lose a sense of identity during a marriage, especially in relationships marked by control, neglect, or emotional abuse. The good news? You are not alone, and you can rediscover your voice, your story, and your confidence. Writer and director Dara Resnik—a Fresh Starts Expert—shares her personal wisdom and practical tools to help you rebuild after divorce. From journaling to therapy to creative outlets, these five tips will give you actionable ways to reclaim your narrative and start fresh. Learn more about Dara Resnik on her Fresh Starts Profile and hear the three things she learned from her divorce on the Divorce Happens podcast. 1. Start JournalingBuy a journal and make writing in it a daily practice. Even if all you can manage is scribbling the same word over and over, eventually your truth will come out. Journaling is a powerful way to reconnect with yourself and put words to experiences you’ve been holding inside. 2. Work with a TherapistAfter divorce, you may feel upside down with no words for what just happened. A therapist can help you identify and label emotions—especially if your marriage silenced or invalidated your feelings. Having someone reflect your truth back to you is essential in healing. 3. Join a Divorce Support GroupDivorce chat groups exist everywhere: Reddit, TalkAboutMarriage, Facebook. Finding people who “get it” helps you feel less isolated and more empowered to process your story. Dara found support in a group specifically for female writers divorcing narcissists. 4. Explore Creative ExpressionArt, poetry, screenwriting—whatever feels natural to you—can become a lifeline in rediscovering your voice. Whether it’s an online poetry course, an art class at your local community center, or writing your own screenplay, creative outlets provide both healing and joy. 5. Share Your Story SafelyAs you piece together your narrative, practice sharing it with close, trusted friends. Humans are storytellers. After being gaslit or silenced, telling your story helps you take back power. Just make sure your audience is supportive, compassionate, and safe. Final ThoughtsFinding your voice after divorce isn’t instant—it’s a practice. With journaling, therapy, supportive communities, creativity, and trusted friends, you can slowly build a new narrative that reflects your resilience and strength. Divorce may feel like an ending, but it’s also the beginning of rediscovering who you are. 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshstartsregistry/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FreshStartsRegistry 🎙 Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/freshstartspodcasts
