    163. Your Questions Answered: When Your Partner of 31 Years Decides To Depart

    "Moving On" can be much harder than it sounds, specifically when dissolving a partnership of 31 years. The process to disentangle yourself can be emotionally and logistically challenging, compounded by the weight of shared history and intertwined lives.



    After spending the majority of your adult life with someone, picking up the pieces and creating a new one can seem dauting, overwhelming and uncertain.



    On this week's podcast, join me as I answer a question from an email I received from someone in regards to her partner leaving after being together for 31 years. Throughout the episode, I address three pivotal questions essential for her journey forward, offering guidance to navigate the complexities of her situation and facilitate her path to healing and growth.

    Re-Aired Episode! Post-Divorce/Breakup Healing: 3 Essential Inner Work Practices

    Re-Aired Episode! Post-Divorce/Breakup Healing: 3 Essential Inner Work Practices

    When you hear things such as:


    You need to heal OR
    You need to do your inner work

    You could be left to wonder "What does that mean?", "What does that look like for me?"

    And when you're unsure on what it means, it becomes ignored due to the lack of understanding on why this is necessary and how it can enhance your quality of life.

    Although everyone's journey of doing their own inner work looks different, there are similar activities that  "inner work" involves for anyone.

    On this week's podcast,  join me as I discuss what "inner work" is, ways to identify if you need to start your inner work, as well as three main activities that apply to anyone.

    162. Choosing Myself in Divorce: A Journey of Parenting Four Kids, One with Autism, While Being a Caregiver and Managing Two Jobs w/ Kaysha Griffin

    162. Choosing Myself in Divorce: A Journey of Parenting Four Kids, One with Autism, While Being a Caregiver and Managing Two Jobs w/ Kaysha Griffin

    Women are known for wearing multiple hats. From motherhood, marriage, working, taking care of the home, and being there for others selflessly. However, what gets lost in all of those roles is herself.

    When an life-altering event such as divorce takes place, the need to advocate for your well-being takes more of a back seat. The default setting shifts to autopilot, and survival mode becomes the new normal.

    While conventional wisdom advises self-care, the question arises: How is that possible when managing so many roles in your life?

    In this week's podcast episode, join me for a conversation with one of my past clients as we discuss the importance of advocating for herself after the dissolution of her marriage of 13 years, raising four children (one with autism), how to effectively manage a challenging custody battle, being a caregiver and working dual jobs.

    161. Being Misaligned In My Marriage, Breaking Free of People Pleasing, & Becoming Liberated from Perfectionism w/ Jernise Young

    161. Being Misaligned In My Marriage, Breaking Free of People Pleasing, & Becoming Liberated from Perfectionism w/ Jernise Young

    What often goes unnoticed is the significance of sharing core values when making the decision to get married. While people are frequently advised on various aspects, such as societal expectations, fear of loneliness, or the notion that one's identity is solely defined by relationship status, the crucial factor of alignment in values tends to be overlooked.

    These misleading influences can lead individuals to engage in relationships that lack the essential foundation of shared values. Consequently, people may find themselves compromising their authentic selves and entering into marriages that feel forced or incompatible. Recognizing and addressing the importance of aligning values can help individuals make more informed and fulfilling decisions about their partnerships, fostering relationships built on mutual understanding, respect, and shared aspirations.

    In this week's podcast episode, join me for a conversation with one of my past clients as we discuss the dissolution of her marriage of two years, marital misalignment, struggles with people-pleasing, and the impact of perfectionism.

Transformational

Tonya’s podcast has been a wonderful source of support for me as I move through the life changing event of divorce. Tonya’s podcast has helped me learn how to understand my contribution to the breakdown of the marriage and how to challenge beliefs that are there to protect
my ego, but not help me evolve into a greater version of myself.

She provides wisdom and truth and if we are open to hear and process it, we can grow into who we are meant to be.

Thank you Tonya!

When your tired
