Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce

You swore you were past it.
You journaled, forgave, meditated, did the work.

But then a photo shows up, or someone says his name, and your chest tightens again. That’s resentment — the emotion that doesn’t move out just because you tell it to.

In this episode, we stop pretending it’s gone.
We talk about what keeps it alive, why it feeds on validation, and what’s hiding under all that anger.

Joy shares the text that broke her c...

What happens when the biggest emotional transition of your life — divorce — collides with the biggest physical one — menopause?

It’s not just about hot flashes or sleep loss.
 It’s your identity, libido, mood, memory, confidence, and worth all shifting at once.

And when menopause arrives during or after divorce, it can feel like:

💔 Am I still desirable?
🤯 Why can’t I think straight?
🔥 Is this rage normal or am I losin...

There’s a kind of loneliness that doesn’t just live in your thoughts — it lives in your body...It’s the ache in your chest when you see another couple holding hands.
The quiet in the house that feels too loud.
The impulse to pour a glass of wine or take something to help you not feel so much.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff guide you through a custom EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping practi...

Have you ever noticed the world is built for couples?
 Dinner for two, “plus-one” invites, family discounts — even the way people glance at you when you’re alone after divorce. It can feel like every billboard is whispering: you don’t belong.

You could be a therapist, a coach, or the friend who swears she knows better—and still fall for an avoidant man’s games after divorce.

In this Dear Divorce Diary Premium episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiffini get brutally honest (and hilariously real) about the ridiculous ways smart women stay hooked—the late-night texts, the lies we half-believed, the crumbs we treated like connection.

He disappears, then drops a “just checking in” text.
He remembers the good old days, then ghosts again.
That push–pull dance isn’t love — it’s control.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn, Tiffini, and Joy unpack the hidden cost of divorcing an avoidant man — the paranoia, the false connection, the endless emotional labor — and teach you how to finally flip the script.

You’ll learn:

You’ve read the books, gone to therapy, tried to make the “right” choice… and still feel like you’re second-guessing everything. After divorce, even simple decisions can feel like emotional quicksand.

Denial isn’t just pretending things are fine — it’s the story your nervous system tells so you don’t have to feel the full truth yet. 

In this episode, we talk about how denial shows up in subtle ways: 

...staying busy so you don’t feel, 

...justifying behavior that hurts you, 

...and, convincing yourself “it’s not that bad.” 

And why breaking through it isn’t about shame — it’s about safety. 

This is one of those episodes that’s worth h...

The push-pull of attachment styles, codependency, and nervous system survival strategies that kept you looping in anxiety and ...

Divorced moms carry secrets no one talks about.
The things their ex did behind closed doors.

You didn’t plan on single-mom life at 40. You didn’t plan on working full-time while juggling sick kids, homework, and Tylenol runs at 2 a.m. You didn’t plan on losing the “white picket fence” identity you once posted on social media.

Ever sworn you wouldn’t check his Instagram at 1 a.m. … and still did? Or did you tell yourself, “just one glass,” and finish the bottle? That loop isn’t just bad habits—it’s codependency as addiction.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, dawn, Producer Joy, and Coach Tiffini unpack how post-divorce codependency functions like a hidden addiction—hooking you on approval, fixing, and being chosen. We’ll explore:

When you’re in crisis, your nervous system isn’t neutral—it’s running survival programs. Fight, flight, freeze, repeat. And when you tell yourself “not now”, that’s not laziness or failure—it’s a protective pattern your body believes is keeping you safe.

But here’s the thing: survival mode isn’t meant to be permanent. It quietly drains your energy, feeds old beliefs like “I can’t do this,” and keeps you circling the same pain.
