Join us twice a week, where we go beyond talk therapy to process your grief, find the healing you crave, and build back your confidence.
We cover essential life after divorce topics like: codependency, loneliness, boundaries, nervous system health, attachment styles, Law of Attraction, and homeopathy. On Tuesday, we have our listener segment called: "Getting Unstuck," where we anonymously unpack a difficult situation a listener is going through in their divorce healing journey. And on Thursday, we explore a "Hidden Healing Gem," which is a healing product or process we've tried and tested personally and/or professionally and are sharing our results and observations with you!
We are on a journey to get into the nitty gritty of divorce recovery and reveal why your divorce healing journey is still not working for you–even after you’ve tried all the therapies and read all the books. We emphasize nuance because overcoming challenges after divorce means questioning everything that got us here and using your divorce as a springboard to a better, more resilient (and certainly happier!) you. I’m Dawn Wiggins, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR specialist, and I draw on decades of experience to help women navigate the emotional rollercoaster that comes after ending a marriage. Using a little bit of science, a few alternative remedies and emotional release techniques, a whole lot of love, and zero BS, we step out of the victim mindset and into building a new life after divorce.Now’s the time we reclaim your healing journey–and why exactly we struggle to not only heal from past traumas but move beyond them to the ultimate goal: inner peace. Let's transform your pain into strength and take charge of your own narrative. Get ready for a world where we embrace radical self-acceptance by honoring the nuanced differences between us all. That is real self-empowerment, and this is Dear Divorce Diary.

120.Reaffirm God's Love: Exploring the Intersection of Divorce Trauma and Religion
Navigating the rough seas of trauma can leave a deep imprint on our spiritual compass, and this is the voyage I embark upon with heartfelt vulnerability in today's podcast. Drawing from the profound insights of Janyne McConnaughey's "Trauma in the Pews," I peel back the layers of how my own spiritual journey transformed post-divorce, and how trauma can challenge the very pillars of faith—meditation, prayer, fasting, and more. For those of us who have felt like outsiders within the walls of organized religion, this discussion unearths the ways we can reclaim our spiritual practices, forging a path that honors our experiences and fosters healing.
As we turn the pages of Janyne's "Trauma in the Pews," a book that has cast a beacon of understanding amidst the fog of spiritual guilt and the complexities of God's love, I share a candid review that touches on the scars left by religious differences and scripture misuse in my past marriage. The insights gleaned here are not just my own; they are an open invitation for you to explore the darker facets of our beings within the safe sanctuary of acceptance. And with anticipation, I reveal plans to welcome Janyne onto the podcast, eager for her to share her wealth of knowledge in neuroscience, trauma, and education that has been pivotal in both her writing and my own spiritual growth.
