    235. Moving From Overwhelm to Your Next Chapter with Kathleen Judge

    Divorce can leave you wondering if your family will ever feel whole again. Many parents worry about the impact on their children, struggle with feelings of failure, and question whether healthy relationships are still possible after everything they've been through. In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, I sit down with marriage and relationship coach Heather Johnson to talk about what it really takes to build strong families, navigate forgiveness, and create healthy relationships after divorce. Heather brings years of experience teaching family and relationship principles, along with insights from her work helping couples and families strengthen communication, deepen connection, and find joy in their relationships. Together, we discuss: • Whether a family can still thrive after divorce • How to help children heal and feel secure • The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation • Healthy boundaries with an ex-spouse • Common challenges in blended families • How faith can support healing instead of adding guilt and shame • What strong families do differently Whether you're newly separated, navigating co-parenting, rebuilding after divorce, or creating a blended family, this conversation offers practical wisdom, hope, and encouragement for the road ahead. If you're looking for support in your own divorce journey, I'd love to help.

    232. Healing Begins When Self-Judgment Ends After Divorce

    Have you forgiven everyone... except yourself? After divorce, many faithful Christian and LDS men and women find themselves trapped in a cycle of self-judgment. You replay conversations. You second-guess your decisions. You wonder if you failed your family, your marriage, or even God. It feels like accountability, but what if it's actually keeping you from the healing Christ wants for you? In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, Jenn explores the difference between healthy repentance and unhealthy self-condemnation. You'll discover why shame is never God's plan for your life, how self-judgment quietly steals your peace, and what it really means to accept the Savior's grace. If you've ever thought, I should have known better, I ruined everything, or I'll never get it right, this episode is for you. You'll learn: Why self-judgment keeps you stuck after divorce The difference between accountability and condemnation How to recognize whether your thoughts are coming from God or from shame A simple prayer and practical exercise to help you release guilt How Romans 8:1 can transform the way you see yourself No matter what you've been through, your divorce is not your identity. Your mistakes are not your identity. You are a beloved son or daughter of God, and because of Jesus Christ, healing, peace, and joy are still possible. Scripture Highlight: "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus."

    230. The Lie Divorce Tells You About Your Future

    Have you ever felt like divorce stole your chance at happiness? Maybe you've wondered if you'll ever trust again, find love again, recover financially, or experience the joy you once dreamed of. Maybe you've watched other people move forward and quietly asked yourself, Why does it seem like everyone else gets the life I wanted? If so, you're not alone. In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, we're talking about one of the greatest lies divorce whispers: that there's not enough left for you. Not enough love. Not enough hope. Not enough opportunities. Not enough blessings. Jenn explores how a scarcity mindset can take root after divorce and keep us stuck in fear, comparison, resentment, and hopelessness. Through faith-filled insights, practical tools, and a memorable "pizza shop versus pizza factory" analogy, you'll learn how to recognize scarcity in your own life and begin embracing the abundance God still has in store for you. Divorce may have changed your story, but it did not shut down God's pizza factory. If you're ready to stop fighting over crumbs and start believing that healing, peace, purpose, and joy still belong to you, this episode is for you. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: • How divorce fuels a scarcity mindset • The subtle lies that keep you stuck after divorce • Why comparison steals your joy • How scarcity affects dating, parenting, and faith • What the scriptures teach about God's abundance • Practical steps to move from fear to faith and hope If this episode encourages you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that their best days are not behind them. 💛 Looking for additional support?

    229. What Your Divorce Triggers Are Trying to Teach You

    Have you ever found yourself reacting in a way that surprised you and wondered, Why did I do that? Maybe you snapped at your ex during a co-parenting exchange. Maybe you became defensive with your kids. Maybe criticism hit harder than it should have, or seeing your ex move on reopened wounds you thought had already healed. What if the problem isn't your reaction? What if the real issue is the wound underneath it? In this week's episode, Jenn explores the powerful concept of healing the trigger, not just the reaction. Divorce has a way of exposing deeper hurts such as rejection, abandonment, shame, fear, insecurity, and the belief that we're somehow "not enough." When those wounds get touched, we react. But instead of responding with shame, what if those moments are actually invitations from God to heal? Jenn shares a personal experience that transformed the way she views repentance, agency, and emotional healing. Together, we'll explore why true repentance isn't just behavior modification. It's heart transformation. It's partnering with God to heal the deeper wounds that keep showing up in our relationships and reactions. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why your triggers are not proof that you're broken • How divorce exposes wounds that may have existed long before the divorce • The difference between changing behavior and healing the heart • Why repentance is one of God's greatest gifts • How curiosity creates healing while shame keeps us stuck • Practical questions to ask when you feel emotionally triggered • How to invite God into the healing process Psalm 51:10 reminds us, "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." A clean heart isn't a perfect heart. It's a healed heart. If you've ever wondered why you keep reacting the same way, this episode may help you uncover the deeper healing God is inviting you into. You are not ruined by your divorce. You are being refined through it.

    228. My Church Leader Didn't Believe Me About the Betrayal

    Have you ever felt like your Church leader didn't believe you about the betrayal, abuse, addiction, or struggles happening inside your marriage? Maybe you finally found the courage to ask for help, only to feel dismissed, misunderstood, or unsupported in your decision to pursue divorce. If so, this episode is for you. In this heartfelt and honest conversation, Jenn discusses one of the most painful experiences many faithful Latter-day Saints face during divorce: when Church leaders don't fully understand what they're going through. This episode is not about criticizing bishops, stake presidents, or the Church. In fact, Jenn shares why she believes Church leaders are doing the very best they can as unpaid volunteers who often have limited information and no formal training in marriage counseling, abuse recovery, addiction, or divorce. Instead, this episode explores how to strengthen your faith when others don't understand your journey, why personal revelation matters, how to trust God when you feel alone, and how to move forward with faith instead of fear. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why Church leaders sometimes see situations differently than you do • How to separate faith in God from disappointment in people • Why personal revelation is critical during divorce • How to trust your relationship with God when others disagree with your decisions • How to avoid resentment and strengthen your spiritual confidence • Why faith and fear often exist together If you've ever wondered, "What do I do when my bishop doesn't support my decision?" or "How do I trust God when I feel completely misunderstood?" this episode will offer hope, perspective, and encouragement. Remember, your eternal destiny is not determined by the opinions of others. It is guided by a loving Heavenly Father who knows your heart, your circumstances, and your journey.
