    The Magic in the Messy

    If you’ve ever watched someone hit a post divorce milestone and quietly thought, “When is it going to be my turn?” you’re in the right place. Not every season after divorce feels triumphant. Some feel foggy or frustrating or like you are moving through wet cement. But those stretches are not wasted. They are the groundwork for the life you are building, even if you cannot see the shape of it yet. For the Season 7 finale, mindset and empowerment guide Jo Nisioti returns for a conversation that opens up what real healing looks like. It is slow, honest, imperfect, and full of small, meaningful shifts that rarely get celebrated. Jo has a gift for naming the experiences so many of us feel but struggle to express. She brings gentleness, wisdom, and a steady presence to the messy middle spaces we often rush past or try to hide. This episode is not about silver linings or forced positivity. It is about the truth of growth and how uneven, nonlinear, and beautifully human it really is. It is a conversation that sits with you, encourages you, and reminds you that transformation does not always come with fireworks. Sometimes it is quiet. Sometimes it is subtle. And sometimes it is happening even when you swear nothing is moving. If you have needed reassurance that you are not off track or falling behind, this finale will help you breathe a little easier. You are not just healing. You are evolving, one honest moment at a time. Learn more about Jo: Jo Nisioti is certified life coach, mindset coach, and Reiki Master. She supports women moving through life’s transitions, helping them release old identities, activate their inner wisdom, and rebuild their life from a place of truth and power.

    Getting Delulu After Divorce

    Have you ever had an idea so big after your divorce that you thought, “Okay… this might be a little crazy… but also maybe it’s exactly right?” That’s the energy inside this week’s episode, "Get Delulu After Divorce." “Delulu” is Gen Z’s fun way of saying you’re dreaming bigger than feels logical… on purpose. It’s that bold, slightly wild belief that the life you really want might actually be possible now. And my guest, Jen Polt, confidence coach and creator of Glossed World, knows this feeling well. At 50, she walked away from her corporate career at Chanel to chase a dream that felt exciting, risky, and a little unbelievable. Then life handed her a plot twist that would make any screenwriter proud. In this episode, Jen and I talk about what it looks like to bet on yourself after divorce, even when the dream feels a little delulu in the best way. The kind that asks you to think bigger, try something new, and trust the tug toward a life that feels more like you. If you’ve been craving a nudge to follow that big, brave idea you keep pretending isn’t there, this episode is for you. Learn more about Jen After 25 years climbing the corporate ladder as a top performing salesperson, educator, and leadership coach for one of the most prestigious brands in the world, she realized success did not feel like fulfillment. The quiet restlessness she felt in her 40s grew louder until she could no longer ignore it. She made a bold shift, rebuilt her life, and stepped into the work she was truly meant to do, helping women trust their fire, own their shine, and go after the more they know is meant for them.

  3. Becoming What You Needed

    11/26/2025

    Becoming What You Needed

    What if the support you keep hoping to get from someone else… is actually something you can give yourself? In this episode, I sit down with Leah Marie Mazur to talk about the shift that happens when you stop looking to someone else to make you feel secure, seen, or settled. After divorce, it’s so easy to think you’re missing something — but often, what you’re really missing is your own presence. Leah and I explore the early messages we were handed about love and worth, the ones that shaped how we showed up in our marriages, and the moment you finally notice that you’ve been trained to search outside yourself for things you’re fully capable of giving. We get honest about grief and disappointment too — the real “I didn’t get what I needed” moments — and how to honor them without living in them. Leah shares simple ways to steady yourself, ground yourself, and start meeting your own needs in a way that feels doable, not overwhelming. And because the holidays can stir up all kinds of old stories, we talk about how to navigate that “something’s missing” feeling and create comfort and connection for yourself, even if this is your first season on your own. If you’re ready to feel more anchored, more capable, and more in charge of your emotional world, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Learn more about Leah: Leah Marie Mazur is a Certified Divorce Recovery Coach, and the founder of Mindfully Ready and co-creator of The Next Chapter membership. She specializes in helping divorced moms heal, rebuild self-esteem, and co-parent with confidence after high-conflict breakups. Her own experience of navigating multiple divorces fuels her passion for guiding women through recovery with compassion and proven strategies.

    You're Not a Type, You're a Force

    What if your next chapter after divorce isn’t about reinventing yourself at all, but reclaiming what’s already true about you? In this episode, we explore how the real power after divorce comes from rediscovering and owning who you are, not fixing yourself, not starting over, but finally recognizing the strengths that have been there all along. I’m joined by Kelly Lucente, founder of RE-MARKABILITY® and an absolute force in the world of branding. With over 30 years of experience, 32 industry awards, and a career spent helping people and companies understand what makes them naturally compelling, Kelly brings a clarity that feels both refreshing and empowering. Kelly also created the Re-Marketability DNA assessment, a simple yet surprisingly personal tool that highlights the strengths and patterns that make you uniquely you. I took it myself, and it revealed a couple things I didn’t expect. Why does this matter for you after divorce? Because when you reclaim who you already are, everything shifts, your confidence, your decisions, your boundaries, your co-parenting, and yes, even your dating energy. This episode gives you a grounded, encouraging way to understand who you are now and how to move forward with more ease. Kelly, often called the Olivia Pope of branding, is here to remind you: You’re not a type, You’re a force. Tune in and see what opens up for you.

    Lavender Marriage: Redefining Partnership After Divorce

    What if your next great partnership after divorce isn’t romantic at all, just fabulous? In this episode, I’m talking about Lavender Marriages, modern-day partnerships between divorced women and gay men (or vice versa) who intentionally build a life together based on friendship, trust, laughter, and mutual support. These friendships have been such lifelines for me, bringing so much joy, grounding, and comfort into my life. And today, I have the most flirty, fun, fabulous guest joining me, Benjamin Camras, host of Flirtations and a brilliant flirt coach. Benjamin and I are getting a little out of the box and creative, my favorite way to be, as we chat about redefining partnership after divorce, the perks of Lavender Marriages, navigating trust, those little sparks of jealousy that make things real, and the dating trends he’s seeing right now. It’s honest, flirty, and might just change the way you think about love, friendship, and what it means to have it all after divorce.
