  1. How Minimum Baselines Make Goals Stick

    How Minimum Baselines Make Goals Stick

    Big goals feel exciting until they demand a brand-new you by Monday. I'm teaching a different route: minimum baselines which are basically tiny, consistent actions that build real momentum without solely relying on your willpower. If you’re navigating life after divorce, this approach respects your bandwidth while still moving you toward the life you want. I unpack why traditional resolutions collapse after two weeks and how the brain’s energy-saving design sabotages overnight reinventions. Then I teach you to flip the script: create habits that are so easy they’re almost impossible to skip. Think 15 minutes of movement three times a week, one fruit and one veggie twice a week, a $25 transfer to savings each paycheck, or a lights-out time on set days. You’ll learn how these baselines slip past resistance, carve new neural pathways, and steadily reshape identity from “I try” to “I follow through.” You’ll also hear practical examples across fitness, food, sleep, money, and confidence, plus how to handle the voice that says small steps don’t matter. I show you how to celebrate both the baseline and any “extra” you feel like doing, without tying your worth to doing more. The real win is consistency and the self-trust it builds; that’s the foundation for bigger goals later. To download your FREE GUIDE: "7-Day Self Trust Reset" click here.

  2. Self-Holding Somatic Practice

    Self-Holding Somatic Practice

    In this episode I share a simple somatic self-holding practice that you can use anywhere to calm anxiety, quiet a racing mind, and remind your body it’s safe. This isn’t about forcing yourself to relax; it’s about giving your nervous system the cues it needs, like gentle touch, longer exhales, and compassionate words to settle into presence and rebuild trust from the inside out.   We start by reframing where safety comes from and why that matters so much when you’re navigating grief, legal stress, co‑parenting tensions, and sleepless nights. Then we walk through the practice step by step: how to position your hands and arms, what to notice in your breath, and which supportive phrases help your mind soften. You’ll learn why parasympathetic activation is the key to regulation, how to spot micro‑shifts like relaxed shoulders or an unclenched jaw, and how two minutes of focused contact can reset your day without special equipment or a quiet room.   Use this reset whenever rumination takes over, before a hard conversation, or after a triggering message. Save this guide for daily support, and share it with a friend who needs a calm, caring hug from within.    If this resonated, follow the show and leave a quick rating!

    How To Get A Good Night's Sleep After Divorce

    Sleepless nights aren’t just exhausting; they can make every text from an ex, every budget decision, and every co‑parenting handoff feel harder than it needs to be. I dig into why stress and rumination hijack your rest during divorce and how cortisol and adrenaline surge right when you want to drift off. Then I’ll shift to practical, evidence‑informed tools that restore a sense of safety in your body so falling asleep and staying asleep becomes more likely.   I walk you through 6 steps to help you create the perfect environment for a good night’s sleep during stressful situations from that take care of your inside (think nervous system regulation) to your outside (think bedroom ambiance).  You’ll also learn a compassionate approach to midnight wake-ups. The aim isn’t perfection; it’s a realistic 10% improvement that compounds into calmer days, a more regulated nervous system, better emotional resilience, and more energy for parenting, work, and healing. If you’re ready to trade 2 a.m. panic cycles for a plan you can use tonight, this conversation offers clear steps and steady encouragement.

    How to Take Your Power Back After Divorce By Owning Your Emotional Life

    One of the most disempowering things that we do to ourselves is let everything outside of us be in charge of our emotional life. This conversation is a guide to taking your emotional life back after divorce without minimizing the hard parts.  I start by untangling the thought–feeling–action loop and why confusing thoughts with feelings keeps you stuck. You’ll hear how naming a single emotion can calm your brain, what healthy detachment really looks like, and how to process emotions in your body so they stop running the show.   I’ll teach you how to get honest about the realities you face: messy co-parenting, unfair legal systems, financial strain, and cultural pressure. Owning your emotions is the practice of agency within tough circumstances.  By the end of this episode you’ll have a simple, repeatable method of processing through your emotions so you can finally step into the power that you’ve been missing in your own life.  115 Ways To Get To Know You Guide - Get the $7 Guide Here To download your FREE GUIDE: "7-Day Self Trust Reset" click here.

    When Your Child Reminds You Of Your Ex

    A single look, a familiar tone, and suddenly your chest tightens and your jaw clenches. That immediate trigger and reminder of your ex is your body doing its best to protect you. I explore those charged moments when a child reminds you of your ex and help you figure out a path away from reactivity to reconnection, so you can parent as the parent you want to be rather than from your past wounds.    You’ll learn how to realign your nervous system so clarity can return. Then you can decide how to reconnect, repair and move forward allowing your child the space to be themselves while you manage your own emotional responsibility.  To download your FREE GUIDE: "7-Day Self Trust Reset" click here.

    How To Make The Holidays Yours Again After Divorce

    The holiday season can feel like a pressure cooker after divorce: new custody schedules, money stress, old traditions that no longer fit, and the unspoken rule that you must make it magical for everyone else. In this episode I’m offering you a different way forward. It’s one where you center yourself, protect your energy, and create a simpler, calmer season that actually feels like you.   I’ll break down the difference between performance mode and centered mode and why so many of us mistake exhaustion for devotion. You’ll come away from this episode with a better idea about what honest presence looks like for yourself during this holiday season rather than forced cheer. When you choose centered mode, you trade brittle perfection for steady, grounded care.  As a bonus, if you want extra support, I’ve created a short, self-paced holiday course for divorced women with short guided videos, journal prompts, reframes, and body-based practices to guide you through the season and beyond into you’re life after divorce.
