    Ep 26: Divorce Brain Fog: Why You Can’t Think Straight (and Why It’s Not Your Fault)

    Hello my love, I’ve just released a new podcast episode, and it’s about something almost every woman I work with experiences during divorce, but rarely names: Divorce Brain fog. That slow, exhausted, scattered feeling where you: * reread emails ten times. * Forget simple things. * Feel emotional and overwhelmed. * Questioning yourself. * Feel like you’re failing at this. In this episode, I talk about: » why brain fog isn’t a personality flaw» what’s actually happening in your nervous system when stress goes on too long» why legal emails can send your body straight into panic (even when you’re sitting safely on the sofa)» how so many women turn this inward and start blaming themselves» the hidden cost of making decisions while dysregulated» a few gentle, practical anchors you can use the moment something spikes you I also share my own experience of staring at emails, heart racing, thinking: Why can’t I just deal with this? If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. This isn’t about “thinking positive” or pushing through. It’s about understanding that divorce is a form of trauma, that your nervous system is doing exactly what it was designed to do, and that calm isn’t a luxury right now. It’s a strategy that changes outcomes, emotionally, financially, and energetically. Tiny moments where you pause and create the space you need to make clearer, steadier decisions. I also share a glimpse of what I’m teaching inside Magic Divorce Club this month, and why I’m opening a small spring container for deeper support. If you’ve been feeling foggy, reactive, exhausted, or quietly scared about the choices in front of you, I invite you to listen and let me know how you get on when you give it a try. Be gentle with yourself 🫶. You’ve got this. And I’ve got you.Hannah XOX PS Inside the Magic Divorce Club, I run a monthly workshop for women who want deeper calm-first support without overwhelm. February’s workshop is about steadying your nervous system when the pressure is on. The moments where emails land, decisions loom, and your body wants to panic before your brain can think. We will slow it down, work with the body first, and then bring clarity back online so you can respond with strength and dignity. If you’d like to join us, you can upgrade to LUXE membership here: You’ll get access to the February workshop, all past workshops, and live weekly support through Magic Mondays. It’s there if it would feel supportive. No rush. This is a public episode.

    Ep 25: Stop Letting Divorce Have Full-Time Access To You

    My love, Today’s podcast: Stop Letting Divorce Have Full-Time Access To You 🫶 I’m sharing a kind of boundary most women don’t think to set in divorce… but it’s the one that protects you from overwhelm. Not the “I should say no more” type. It’s the boundary that stops divorce admin getting full-time access to your body, your nervous system, your sleep, and your whole day. If a solicitor email has ever made you think… “Oh my God… I can’t hold all these words.” Hear this: you’re not stupid. You’re not broken. You’re overloaded. And when you’re overloaded, urgency starts to feel like truth. It isn’t. What you’ll get from the episode A simple way to: * slow things down * work out what’s actually being asked of you * choose the next right step without trying to solve your whole divorce in one sitting Small. Practical. Real life friendly. Press play above 👆 or save for later on your favourite podcast app: — Apple | Spotify Give it a try and then drop me an email with how you felt afterwards. You’ve got this. And I’ve got you.Hannah XOX PS If you want more support with boundaries * Tomorrow: Boundaries 101 inside Magic Divorce Club (with hot seats at the end) - Free for LUXE members here: * 1:1 applications to work with me are open again for the next three weeks This is a public episode.

    When action feels hard, do this

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit magicdivorceclub.substack.com My love, If you’re feeling a bit wobbly, resistant, or like you know you need to do something… but you can’t quite move yet — today’s Magic Monday replay is for you. This session is a Calm-First reset, with a very specific intention: We calm the body first… and then we ask one simple question that helps you move forward without forcing yourself. Inside the replay, I’ll guide you through a practice that: * brings you back into your body (out of the spirals and “too much”) * helps you gently set down what isn’t yours to carry * invites real compassion for the part of you that’s tired / grieving / on high alert * and then (only when you’re steadier) helps you find one grounded, nourishing next step — small enough to actually do If you’ve been putting something off — a conversation, an email, a decision, a boundary — this is the kind of session that turns “I should” into “I can.” Watch the replay above and see how if feels now and later on too👆 When you’ve watched, hit reply and tell me: what was your one next step? And when you plan to do it. You’ve got this. And I’ve got you.Hannah XOX PS Boundaries 101 is this Thursday at midday — January’s Workshop is a supportive and practical class. You’ll leave with: * A clear understand of what boundaries are, * Why you need them (especially in divorce), and * How to hold them without your nervous system going into panic.

    Ep 24: The boundary for Ping Panic

    My love, You know the moment. The ping lands, you see who it’s from, your stomach drops… and suddenly your whole body is bracing. Again. Even before you’ve opened the message, you’re already in it. * The urgency loop. * The “I need to fix this now.” * The fear that if you don’t respond immediately, something will get worse. And it’s not just annoying — it steals your joy and your day. It pulls you out of your work, out of your parenting, out of sleep. And it pushes you towards the kind of reply that doesn’t feel like you — rushed, reactive, over-explaining, people-pleasing… or freezing and spiralling for hours. In today’s episode, I share the one boundary I want you to remember the next time this happens. Plus: * a simple “pause” practice * and a next-step question that brings you back to steady (without pretending you’re fine).

    Ep 23: Before You Organise Your Life, Do This (A 3-Minute Calm First Reset)

    Hey my love, It’s Hannah — and this is our first Magic Divorce Club podcast episode of 2026. How are you doing? That was a lot, wasn’t it? The post-Christmas comedown can feel like whiplash… and if you’re navigating divorce on top of it? My heart has been with you 🫶 This episode is short, calming, and practical — and it’s built around one reframe I want you to fully absorb: If you’re trying to get organised but you keep freezing/spiralling, you haven’t failed — your body just doesn’t feel safe yet. Because divorce admin + messages from your ex + money decisions + kids + limbo… it’s not “just life stuff.” It’s a constant drip-feed of threat. And when your system is in threat mode, thinking harder doesn’t help. In this episode: * Why divorce puts your body into threat mode (and why “getting your head together” can feel impossible). * The Calm First sequence: calm → clarity → next step (not “plan perfectly or panic”). * A guided reset: to tell your body it’s “safe enough, right now.” * A grounding question to take into your day. * A permission slip (borrow mine if you need it). * The one-thing rule. Listen now Listen to the episode above or bookmark in your favourite podcast app for later. You’ve got this. And I’ve got you.Hannah XOX. PS. If this Calm First approach lands in your body, you’d love Magic Divorce Club: Magic Circle. We meet every Monday for Calm First support + a gentle check-in, so you’re not doing this alone. PPS. Members also got my December workshop on gently letting go of 2025 and choosing a word-of-the-year anchor. It’s such a supportive reset when everything feels noisy. This is a public episode.

    Ep 21: Christmas After Divorce - The Feelings No One Talks About

    My love, I wanted to send this episode with a few words, because Christmas can be… a lot. There’s so much pressure at this time of year to feel joyful, grateful, festive — and if you’re going through divorce, co-parenting, or a big life change, that pressure can feel unbearable. If this is your first Christmas not as a whole family — or even if it isn’t — the feelings can still come.The contrast.The quiet.The grief.The exhaustion of holding it all together. This episode isn’t here to fix anything.It’s here to sit with you. Inside the episode, I talk about: * Why Christmas can amplify grief and loneliness * Why mixed emotions are completely normal * How survival strategies like overdoing or numbing can make things harder * Why lowering the bar is sometimes the most loving choice * Simple ways to support your nervous system when things feel heavy You can listen to the episode above or find it on your favourite podcast app to save it for later (I’d love you to leave a review while you’re there 🥰 You are not failing.You are navigating something real and, frankly, traumatic. If one sentence helps today, let it be this: “This is hard — and I’m allowed to feel it.” You’ve got this.And I’ve got you. Big love,Hannah XOX PS 🎧 Here’s everything mentioned in the podcast * Magic Monday — Monday 22nd DecemberA calm, grounding session inside the Magic Divorce Club for Magic Circle and LUXE members.
