    S1E7: Perspective Pivots

    After those first few very painful weeks following my then-husband telling me he wanted a divorce, we were still figuring out what was next with our relationship, our household, our family, and our businesses and professional relationships. We were still working and living together—going through the motions—and had a lot to sort out as we navigated uncoupling our lives. I invite you to join me in this episode as I share this time of sorting out and regrouping, as well as the many perspective pivots that helped me during this phase. In this episode, you’ll hear: The tools and people that were really supportive for me during this timeHow I started to embrace the idea that I didn’t know—and didn’t have to know yet—what was next for me in my lifeTwo pieces of wisdom and perspective shifts that were so helpful to me during this timeA silver lining from this experience that really helped me navigate through itThe ways I grew through this transition and the gift that I gave myselfTHIS thing that happened kind of innocently and accidentally enough—at first—that I’m not proud of but helped me get closureAnd the super juicy mantra that carried me through the period moving forward and as I started my adventures in January!

    S1E6: The Truth is Often Complex

    Major life changes—like a divorce or ending of a serious relationship—aren’t even close to simple. They’re multifaceted and there isn’t only one definition, one experience, or one truth to the situation. It’s a tightly woven tapestry of emotion, experience, and perspective. And my divorce was no different. Today, I’m sharing what began to unravel after my then-husband asked for a divorce, as I had to learn to process and navigate this information while keeping it a secret from everyone else for a few painful weeks. Join me as I share my experience of figuring out how to navigate the divorce with alignment while simultaneously holding space for what was true for me, what was true for him, and what was true for our daughters. In this episode, you’ll hear: What I mean by “holding space”The 3 energetic resets that helped me through the toughest parts of my divorceOne of the things that helped me be able to hold space for the multiple truths in our familyMy lifelines during those first few super challenging weeksHow the conversation went when we finally told our daughters about the divorce, and the 4 guiding principles that were alive for me going into that family meetingWhere—in the span of a few hours—I experienced one of the most painful and heart wrenching moments of my life as well as one of the most special and beautiful onesWhat helped us navigate forward in alignmentAnd the first moments where I started to look at what I really wanted and what I wanted from my path moving forward Jaime values connection and community.

    S1E5: D is for Divorce, Discomfort, and Discovery

    Divorce (or the end of a major relationship) is complicated and often painful, and mine was no different.  Unwinding all the interwoven threads of connection takes time and intention. It is tricky to navigate, especially with intense, nuanced and often very different emotions present for all parties. But for me, within the complexity, I also found many insights, discoveries, and aha moments bubbling up that inspired me as I began moving through it. So in today’s episode, I invite you to join me as I share how I began navigating through my divorce and uncoupling with love, curiosity, and compassion (and a little competitiveness!). I also share some of the biggest lessons that I discovered that I still carry with me today. In this episode, I’m sharing: The message that bubbled up for me on a vision quest just before my then-husband told me he wanted the divorceTHIS thing I continued to anchor into over and over as I navigated my way through thisA weird motivator for me that helped guide me forward and give me a directionThe surprising thing that happened when I realized I’d hit rock bottom and my worst fears had come trueA huge part of the discomfort I experienced going through this time that I didn’t expectOne piece of wisdom I learned during this time that I continue to carry forward with meAnd more!

    S1E4: So Much Sage

    What would you do if your spouse told you, “I don’t love you anymore. I’m not attracted to you. I’m no longer in love with you.” Well, when it happened to me….I burned A LOT of sage. Join me for the next installment of our journey together as I guide you through what happened when we returned from Greece (yes, from that “what the hell was I thinking?! trip!) up until my then-husband told me he no longer loved me and wanted a divorce. I’m sharing: The master plan I’d come up with to fix my marriage that didn’t work out at all how I’d plannedHow my idea of self-care changed during this time (and how I now bring THIS piece into self-care that used to be missing)The beginning of my spiritual nourishment journeyWhy I wanted to run away after returning from GreeceThe powerful leadership retreat that opened the door to my life-changing journey of transformationTwo exercises from the retreat that ended up being super timely and pivotal for meThe moment my husband finally shared his truth with me and why it was the furthest thing from what I’d expectedThis one thing that I become really grateful for and how it got my attention during my divorce conversationBeginning to hold space for my husband’s truth AND how I was feeling (and how this actually ended up serving me later)And more!

    S1E3: Caught in the Chaos of My Own Creation

    Today's episode is a doozy. I'm calling this "Caught in the Chaos of My Own Creation," but it could easily be called, "What the Hell Was I Thinking?" Or "An Incredible Life-Changing, 2 Week Adventure in Greece." Because all of those things are true. Let's jump right into the tale of this pivotal—as well as emotionally and physically painful—trip for me in 2017 where many of the cracking open moments I shared in episode 2 began to come together and help me see things differently.  And I began to experience that I had some very important choices to make… In this episode, I’m sharing: The 2 major things that were going on for me in my personal life in 2017 leading up to this pivotal trip of a lifetimeThe strain and stress alive in my marriage at the time (and the accidental ultimatum I threw down that shifted things even further)Reflections on my own patterns during that time and how my fears and wounding really got in my wayWhat I envisioned this Greece trip to be like…and what ACTUALLY happened insteadAn apology that came too little, too late in my marriageTHIS moment where all of my expectations for the trip hit me in the faceAn important realization about HOW I wanted to FEEL most in lifeA surprising little voice of wisdom and foreshadowing that told me that there was something more for me there in Mykonos (& why that shocked the heck out of me at the time)And a few little insights into how my life would begin to drastically change within 6 months of that adventure….And the even wilder adventure that would unfold within 2 years, that I never would have imagined or said yes to….

    S1E2: Cracking Open

    Major life and identity transformations don’t just happen overnight; there are often key events or catalysts that begin the process of cracking open. My story is no different.  So although 2017 was a pivotal year of cracking open for me, I want to start our journey by sharing some key moments that created foundational and existential ripples within me, in the 2 years leading up to 2017.  These ripples really started the process of cracking me open. They would continue to expand and gain momentum in 2017 starting a process of transformation and healing that would change the course of my life. In this episode I’m sharing: The events that occurred in 2015 and 2016 that started this process of cracking openThe loss of an important family member which led to intense overwhelm, grief and a profound sense of failure & triggered me to evaluate patterns of perfectionism and themes of identityTHIS experience in my corporate job that allowed some light to start shining in the cracksAnd my then-husband’s stage III cancer diagnosis and wellness journey coupled with the loss of a close friend…and how these events created ripples in my perspectives and beliefs about life Jaime values connection and community.
