    Send us a text The guilt is crushing. Every time you look at your kids, a voice whispers: "You ruined their lives." You're exhausted from trying to be everything, do everything, make up for what you think you took from them. But what if the story you're telling yourself isn't true? In this episode, we're tackling the heaviest weight divorced moms carry: the guilt that keeps you up at 3 AM, makes you cry in the shower, and whispers "bad mother" every time your child mentions missing their dad.

  2. WHY FORGIVENESS ISNT ABOUT THEM(THE LAW OF CAUSE & EFFECT)

    WHY FORGIVENESS ISNT ABOUT THEM(THE LAW OF CAUSE & EFFECT)

    Send us a text You need to forgive him." And immediately, the rage rises. Because WHY should you forgive him? He doesn't deserve it. He hurt you. He betrayed you. He walked away like you meant nothing. So no. You're NOT forgiving him. You're holding onto that anger. That resentment. That bitterness. Because he deserves to be punished. But here's what I need you to understand: Unforgiveness isn't punishing him. It's punishing YOU. In this episode, I'm breaking down The Law of Cause and Effect and showing you why holding onto resentment is keeping YOU trapped—not him. Here's what you'll learn: Why unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting him to dieHow The Law of Cause and Effect works (what you put out comes back to you)What forgiveness IS and what it IS NOT (it's not condoning, forgetting, or letting him back in)The 7-step forgiveness process that actually worksHow to forgive without betraying yourselfWhy forgiveness is the ultimate power moveHow forgiving my ex changed my ENTIRE lifeThe uncomfortable truth: As long as you're holding onto unforgiveness, you're energetically tied to him. He's the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing at night. You're giving him free rent in your head and heart. And meanwhile? He's probably not even thinking about you. Forgiveness has NOTHING to do with him. It's about YOU. It's about cutting the energetic cord so you can finally be FREE. I held onto rage for YEARS after my divorce. It destroyed my health, my energy, my joy. When I finally forgave? Everything changed. I had energy for MY life. MY healing. MY future. This isn't about being weak. This is about taking your POWER back.

    HOW YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT YOUR EX ARE KEEPING YOU BROKE!!

    Send us a text You're working hard. But there's never enough money. Bills are piling up. You're stressed. You're exhausted. And every time you check your bank account, you think: "This is HIS fault." But here's what I'm about to tell you that might be uncomfortable: Your thoughts about your ex are keeping you broke. Not his child support payments. Not his financial decisions. YOUR thoughts about HIM. In this episode, I'm revealing The Law of Vibration and showing you the direct connection between your resentment and your bank account. Here's what you'll learn: Why your financial struggle has more to do with your ENERGY than your circumstancesHow anger and resentment literally block abundanceThe 5-step process to cut the energetic cord to your exHow to shift from lack consciousness to abundance mindsetHow I doubled my income in 6 months by changing my vibrationThe truth: Everything is energy. Money is energy. When you're vibrating at anger, resentment, and "he ruined me financially"—you literally cannot attract abundance. Every hour you spend obsessing over his new car, his vacation, his life—is an hour you could spend creating YOUR abundance. This isn't about letting him off the hook. This is about taking your POWER back.

    THE GRIEF THAT WONT END-WHY YOU ARE STUCK IN VICTIM MODE AFTER DIVORCE

    Send us a text Why won't this pain go away? It's been months—maybe even a year—and you're still replaying the same conversations in your mind. Still angry. Still hurt. Still stuck. You look at other women who've moved on and wonder: "What's wrong with me?" In this episode, I'm breaking down The Law of Perpetuation and showing you exactly why your grief won't end—and what to do about it. Here's what you'll learn: Why your mind keeps replaying what happened (and how to stop it)How you're unconsciously recreating your pain every single dayThe 4-step process to break the mental loopHow to redirect your focus and finally move forwardMy own 3-year journey from stuck to freeThe uncomfortable truth: Whatever you focus on expands. Every time you replay that fight in your mind, you're recreating it. Your mind doesn't know the difference between what's happening now and what you're replaying in your thoughts. But once you understand this universal law, everything changes. This isn't about toxic positivity or "just get over it." This is about understanding how your mind works—and using that knowledge to set yourself free.

    WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THE CONVERSATIONS YOU NEVER GOT HAVE WITH YOUR EX!

    Send us a text In this deeply emotional episode, we're talking about the library of unsaid conversations sitting in your chest like stones - all the things you never got to say to your ex, and what to do with those words that have nowhere to go. If you've ever found yourself having entire arguments with him in your head while driving to work, crafting the perfect response to something he said months ago while lying in bed at 3 AM, or desperately wanting to defend yourself against accusations you never got to address - this conversation is for you. We explore why closure feels impossible when you never got those final conversations, why society doesn't give you space to grieve someone who hurt you, and what those unsaid words are really about (spoiler: they're not actually for him). You'll learn: The 5 practical ways to release those words without sending that textWhy the closure you're looking for isn't in his words - it's in yoursHow to honor your truth even when no one else witnesses itThe difference between missing someone and wanting them backWhat conversations actually matter now (and they're not with him)This episode is for you if: You're carrying imaginary conversations that never happened, you feel like you need his validation to move forward, you're tired of people telling you to "let it go" when those words are still burning in your chest, or you're wondering if you should finally tell him how you really feel. We dive into the weight of unfinished conversations, the shame around still needing to be heard, and why your voice deserves to be honored even if he's not there to listen.  The closure you're seeking isn't in his words. It's in yours.

    WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU REALISE YOU ARE RAISING YOUR KIDS COMPLETELY ALONE

    Send us a text In this raw and honest episode, we're talking about the overwhelming moment when you realize you're truly parenting solo - and what to do when that reality feels impossible to bear. If you've ever sat in your car at 3 AM with a sick kid thinking "there's no backup coming," felt resentful that you handle 12 out of 14 days while he gets to be the "fun parent," or struggled with the crushing weight of making every single decision about your children's lives - this conversation is for you. We dive deep into the difference between co-parenting on paper and actually raising kids alone, the emotional weight of being the only one who truly has your children's best interests at heart, and why "Disneyland Dad" syndrome makes everything harder. You'll learn: Why even "co-parenting" often means you're still doing it aloneThe 6 types of daily overwhelm solo parents face (and practical strategies for each)How to handle the resentment without feeling guilty about itWhat your kids are actually learning from watching you handle it allWhy lowering your standards strategically isn't giving up - it's survivalThis episode is for you if: You're exhausted from being "on" all the time, you feel guilty for resenting the situation you never wanted, you're tired of people saying "at least you have full control now," or you're wondering how other single moms make it look so easy. We explore the shame around admitting solo parenting is hard, the identity shift from "mom" to "single mom," and the unexpected strengths you're building (even when you feel like you're barely surviving).  You can also  grab the solo parent survival kit by clicking the link below:  DOWNLOAD SOLO PARENT SURVIVAL KIT The Restart Academy Podcast: Real conversations for divorced women rebuilding their lives.
