Hey love, quick question—
 Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, "Where did I go?"
Like you're watching your life from the outside, floating through the motions, showing up for everyone else while quietly disappearing from yourself?
If that hit a nerve, I need you to hear this:
 You’re not broken. You’re likely dissociating.
 And it’s way more common than we talk about—especially after divorce.
In this premium episode of Dear Divorce Diary, I’m breaking down what dissociation really is—not just “spacing out” but a full-on nervous system response to pain, overwhelm, and trauma.
We’ll talk about the subtle signs you might be missing, why your brain had to do it to protect you, and how it’s possibly affecting your ability to heal, trust again, or even feel safe in your own skin.
I’ll also walk you through a soothing, guided reflection—designed to help you gently come home to yourself.
This is the kind of episode that hits deep and starts real change.
 It’s raw, comforting, and it’s available now exclusively for our premium subscribers.
So if you’re ready to stop feeling like a stranger in your own life and start reconnecting with the woman you’re becoming—
 Tap the link in the show notes, subscribe to premium, and I’ll meet you inside Episode 240.
You deserve this kind of healing.
 I’ll see you there. 💛
