The Divorce Reset Podcast ® with Gina Bee

Gina Blundell

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.

    In this episode of the Divorce Reset Podcast ®, host Gina Bee welcomes Lara-Lee Caine, a dating and relationship expert and life coach, to explore the journey from toxic love to finding a fulfilling partnership. Lara specialises in helping high-achieving women who have everything in their lives except the love life they desire.   Lara draws upon her own experiences to provide invaluable insights into recognising and escaping unhealthy relationships. She highlights how these situations often develop gradually, making it difficult for those involved to realise the extent of the abuse. Characteristics such as low self-esteem and empathic tendencies can make individuals more susceptible to controlling and narcissistic partners.   The discussion delves into the tactics used in toxic relationships, including love bombing, gaslighting, isolation, and manipulation. Lara emphasises the importance of recognising these patterns and taking steps to prioritise one's well-being.   A key focus of the conversation is on overcoming the fear of financial dependence, which often prevents women from leaving unhealthy situations. Lara stresses the significance of self-love, self-esteem, and establishing healthy boundaries as crucial elements in attracting positive relationships.   Lara's personal journey of self-discovery led her to coaching, where she now empowers others to transform their lives and cultivate fulfilling partnerships. She shares her methods for healing from past traumas, reprogramming limiting beliefs, and building the confidence needed to form healthy, balanced relationships.   This Podcast offers a message of hope and empowerment, demonstrating that change is possible with self-awareness, self-compassion, and the courage to prioritise your own happiness.   Lara's social media channel links: LinkedIn is here Facebook is here Website is here Gina's social media channel links: Website is ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn is ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠ Facebook is ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠

They emphasise that healing from past traumas and conditioning is crucial for anyone seeking to forge healthier relationships and create a more fulfilling life post-divorce. Listeners will gain valuable insights into recognising unhealthy patterns, taking responsibility for their own healing, and making conscious choices that serve their well-being.
