    Stop Making Excuses in Your Divorce: Why Action Changes Everything

    This is not a feel-good episode. It’s a truth episode. In today’s conversation, I’m speaking directly to the part of you that knows something has to change—but feels frozen by fear, overwhelm, or excuses that keep you stuck. I know how terrifying divorce can feel. I’ve been there. And I also know this: nothing changes until you do. In this episode, we talk about: - Why staying stuck feels safer—but costs you everything - The most common excuses women make in divorce (and how to talk back to them) - Why fear doesn’t mean “stop”—it means you’re standing at a threshold - How taking action now changes the emotional, legal, and financial outcomes later - What your kids are actually learning when you tolerate dysfunction - Why your lawyer isn’t your emotional support—and why that matters - How support, boundaries, and self-advocacy set you free Divorce is messy. It will dig things up. Let it. Feelings aren’t the problem—avoidance is. You don’t have to do this alone, but you do have to decide that excuses are no longer in charge. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.

    Divorce Insight (or Incite): The Choice Is Yours

    Divorce doesn’t come with a roadmap. I know how badly you want one—clear direction, fewer missteps, and a way through this without losing yourself or your kids along the way. In this episode, I invite you to look at one simple but powerful distinction: are you moving through your divorce with insight, or are you unintentionally inciting more chaos? I share why so many well-intended mothers get pulled into the spin cycle of overwhelm, reactivity, and conflict—and how learning to slow down, get calm, and listen inward can change everything. In this episode, we explore: - Why chasing the “why” of the marriage can keep you stuck - How emotional reactivity quietly escalates divorce - The difference between fueling the fire and putting it out - Why clarity, intuition, and self-regulation are strategic advantages - How your choices now impact both your outcomes and your children You don’t have to flounder your way through this. You can heal and divorce at the same time. And when you choose insight over incitement, you begin to reclaim your life. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.

    Becoming a Better Mother In Divorce: A Client Spotlight with Shari

    What if, in the middle of divorce, you didn’t just get through it — but slowly began to feel stronger and more like yourself again? In this episode, I sit down with Shari, a brave mother who shares her honest divorce journey, from early fear and uncertainty to rebuilding trust in herself and creating stability for her children. With humor and heart, she opens up about the messy middle — the doubts, the pressure of others’ opinions, and the quiet moments of finding clarity again. Shari reflects on learning to set boundaries, listen to her intuition, and take care of herself in a way that ultimately made her a more present, grounded mother. If you’re divorce-curious, in the thick of it, or wondering how you’ll find your footing, this conversation is an invitation to lean in and remember what’s possible. As Shari shares: “As a result of this journey I have evolved as a mother. I am much more present. I pick my battles. It’s not perfect, but it’s really incredible to see myself evolve because I truly took care of me. It’s made me a much better mom.” Bottom line: Even if it took a long runway to get here, meaningful change can happen quickly when you invest in yourself.
