    What Do You Need in This Moment? The Question That Stops the Divorce Spiral

    Divorce can feel like a spin cycle — fast, chaotic, decision after decision, landmine after landmine. You think you have to match its pace until you cross the finish line. But here's what I've learned: the quickest way to calm the chaos isn't another lawyer or strategy session. It's getting still in the eye of the storm and asking yourself one deceptively simple question. In this episode, I'm inviting you to step off the dancefloor of people-pleasing and self-abandonment, and back into your own life. - Why awareness is the portal to everything that changes next. - How "keeping the peace" is often just code for avoidance. - Why taking care of yourself isn't selfish — it's how you protect your kids and your divorce. - The one question (plus a mantra) to stop the spiral. Healing isn't about doing more, mama. It's about less drama, less self-abandonment, less chaos. Come find out what becomes possible when you put your needs back into the equation. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.

    Get it DONE: The Divorce Strategy No One Talks About

    There isn't a mother I've coached who isn't terrified of getting her kids through the divorce. I walked those same shoes, and I want to share the one piece of advice that's changed everything for the women I work with: get in, get out, get it over with. In this episode, I'll show you why ending the dysfunction quickly — not fighting to be "right" — is the real divorce strategy. - Why the "yeah buts" keep you stuck for years (and what each one is really costing you, your kids, and your future) - What fighting actually buys you — and the steep price you pay in money, time, and lifeforce to get it - The snakebite story that reframes everything about chasing your ex's accountability - The one question to ask before every decision so you stop getting lost in the weeds There's a beautiful new life waiting on the other side of this, mama.

    I want to sit with you for just a couple of minutes, mama. Because what I'm about to share with you stopped me in my tracks when I rediscovered it — and I knew I had to bring it straight to you.

In this episode, I'm sharing Autobiography in Five Chapters by Portia Nelson — and unpacking why it matters so much right now, wherever you are in your journey: - Why we keep walking down the same street — and falling into the same hole — even when our eyes are wide open - How to take agency over the one thing that's fully in your control right now: your thoughts - What it actually means to create capacity for yourself to heal in the middle of the hardest chapter of your life - The simple invitation that could shift everything: is it time to walk down another street? Find a quiet corner, ground your feet, and take this one in. I promise it'll feed your soul. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.

    Avoiding Divorce Weeds: How to Stop Getting Derailed and Keep Moving Forward

    Divorce doesn't come at you in a straight line — it comes in waves, curveballs, and moments that stop you cold. I call it "the weeds." The overwhelm, the triggers, the opinions of people who have no idea what you're actually living. It all has a way of tangling around your ankles just when you need to make a move. This one is for every mother who's felt swept up by the challenges of divorce. In this episode, we're talking about how to stop letting the weeds run the show: - Why where you put your energy each day is your most powerful move — and what it costs you when you don't choose intentionally - How your spouse's tactics lose their grip when you stay locked on the bigger objective - What taking the high road actually looks like when your kids are caught in the crossfire - How to pull the weeds one by one, root and all, until all that's left is fertile ground for your new life Grab your gardening gloves, mama.

    Parental Alienation: What Every Divorcing Mother Needs to Know

    If you're divorcing a narcissist, this one is close to my heart — and I won't sugarcoat it. Parental alienation is one of the most painful, devastating outcomes a mother can face in divorce. And the heartbreaking truth? It's also one of the most avoidable — yet far too many of us are forced to navigate it anyway. In this episode, I'm getting real about what parental alienation actually looks like, why the courts offer less protection than you'd hope, and what you can do to protect your kids and yourself. - Why divorcing a narcissist almost always comes with some level of parental alienation — and how to prepare without panicking - What the courts won't respond to, and the smarter way to build your case - What to say (and not say) when your kids are caught in the middle - Why your own condition during divorce directly determines what's possible for your kids You only control one side of the divorce street, mama. But that side matters more than you know. — If you’re a professional, independent mother facing off with divorce, worried about your emotional wellbeing, your kids and your future…and want a better way to navigate it all, here’s how we can help: FREE DIVORCE WORKSHOP BOOK A FREE STRATEGY CALL The Intuitive Divorce Podcast helps mothers navigate the messy waters of divorce to achieve the best outcomes for themselves and their kids.
