Some people think the word divorce is a negative word, but perhaps it should not be thought of in this way. Divorce may signify the end of an intimate relationship, but it can also signify exciting new beginnings for the two people exiting the marriage. And not all marriages end in acrimony. Some former husbands and wives manage to retain a strong platonic relationship. With statistics suggesting that half of UK marriages end in divorce, divorce is a subject that forms part of everyday life. The Divorce Reset Podcast ®is here to help people before and after divorce.

    Episode 20: Finding Self-Care Amidst the Storm

    Life has a way of delivering several lifetimes of challenge all at once. For Mikki Rose, the transition into midlife was not a quiet passage, but a series of seismic shifts. From her former role as a supervisor at Amazon Logistics to becoming a full-time carer for her daughter following a traumatic accident, Mikki’s path has been defined by her resilience in the face of the unexpected. In this episode of The Divorce Reset Podcast, Gina Bee sits down with Mikki to explore a story that many women will find startlingly familiar, yet deeply inspiring. Mikki shares the raw reality of navigating a "Final Destination" moment that changed her family’s life, followed by the profound betrayal of a marriage ending in the shadow of infidelity and illness. Why your peace is a non-negotiable As Mikki entered her menopausal years, she found herself grappling with more than just physical symptoms; she was dealing with the emotional weight of feeling unlovable and discarded. This conversation delves into the often-ignored intersection of menopause, trauma, and the end of a long-term relationship. Mikki has transformed her experiences into a resource for others, publishing journals and books on Amazon specifically designed for the menopausal and divorce niche. Her story is a testament to the fact that while we cannot always control the trauma that happens to us, we can decide how we build our lives in the aftermath. Join us for an episode that is as much about the difficulty of leaving as it is about the incredible, quiet peace that waits on the other side.

    Episode 18: Reclaiming Your Power After Narcissistic Abuse

    In this episode of the Divorce Reset Podcast, Gina Bee sits down with Jo Searle, a woman whose journey through separation and divorce became the ultimate catalyst for a radical life transformation. Jo shares the raw and deeply personal story of how the "perfect storm" of the COVID-19 pandemic, a turbulent divorce, and undiagnosed ADHD led her into the arms of a toxic, covert narcissist. Jo provides a candid look into the reality of narcissistic abuse - from gaslighting and serial infidelity to the "silent treatment" and stalking. She discusses the vulnerability that often follows a major life upheaval and how she eventually found the strength to break the cycle. Through her recovery, Jo discovered the profound impact of somatic coaching and trauma therapy, eventually pivoting from a high-stress corporate career to becoming a qualified trauma-informed practitioner herself. This conversation explores how Jo replaced old, subconscious patterns with discipline and self-love, even taking on the challenge of competitive bodybuilding at 46. Jo’s story is a testament to the fact that no matter how "broken" you may feel, you have the autonomy to rewrite your future.

    Episode 17: From Bankruptcy to Business Strategist: Designing a Life of True Choice

    In this episode of the Divorce Reset Podcast, the two Gina's talk together, Gina Bee and Gina Trick. We dive deep into the remarkable journey of Gina Trick, an online business and AI strategist who transformed a season of total loss into a life of absolute autonomy. Gina shares the raw and gripping story of how she lost her home, her car, and her business all in a single day following a traumatic breakup and a subsequent bankruptcy. We explore the often-overlooked legal pitfalls of joint liability for unmarried couples and the crushing weight of domestic abuse that frequently hides behind closed doors. But more importantly, this is a story of resilience. Gina discusses how she rebuilt her world from a flat filled with boxes to a thriving seven-figure career, all while redefining what it actually means to be free. Why You Should Listen This conversation is a masterclass in reclaiming your power after life tears the script away. Whether you are navigating the aftermath of a split or looking to build a business that serves your soul rather than stealing your time, Gina’s insights offer a practical and emotional roadmap. Understanding the Journey Gina and our host reflect on the "work in progress" nature of healing. From the initial shock of losing everything to the "fire" that drives a second chance at life, this episode reminds us that we are never stuck in our stories. We discuss the importance of being "trauma-informed" - which means having an awareness of how past distress affects current behaviour - and why finding the right "modality," or method of treatment, is essential for true growth. Join us for an intellectual yet deeply human look at how to reset, rebuild, and finally choose a life that makes you happy.

    Episode 16: Intuition, Identity, and Starting Over

    Why do we often walk down the aisle already hearing the faint ticking of a clock? In this episode of the Divorce Reset Podcast, our host Gina Bee sits down with Georgie Blackman, the founder of wellness brand GB Mindset, for a candid and deeply human look at the anatomy of a marriage that was never meant to be. Georgie shares the story of her first marriage - a relationship that began with a childhood sweetheart and followed the "Disney" script of a white dress and a horse-drawn carriage. Yet, behind the scenes, a different story was unfolding. From the quiet realisation during the wedding planning that her need for connection wasn't being met, to the moment she confessed her intuition to her father in the carriage on the way to the ceremony, Georgie explores the heavy weight of social pressure and the "fairytale" expectations that often drown out our inner wisdom. The Power of the Gut Feeling This conversation delves into the "lifespan" of relationships and why we often stay long after the intuition says it’s time to go. Georgie and Gina discuss the generational shifts in how we view marriage, the impact of seeing "estranged but stayed" role models, and the evolution of self-awareness in the modern age. Whether you are currently navigating a separation, reflecting on a past relationship, or simply looking to understand the mechanics of human connection, Georgie’s story is a powerful reminder that "starting over" is often the most courageous act of wellness you can perform. About Georgie Georgie is a paramedic, a trainee hypnotherapist, and the founder of GB Mindset, a wellness brand dedicated to helping individuals find balance and health. Based in the East of England, she uses her unique background in emergency medicine and mental well-being to host wellness events that encourage authenticity and self-care.
