*************************************************************************************
In today's episode we dive deep into why women fresh out of divorce struggle to choose what supports their healing, even when they know what to do.
We're going to unpack the sneaky emotional loops that make short-term relief like numbing, people-pleasing, getting into a fight with your ex feel safer than long-term healing, and how your nervous system is often still in survival mode, prioritizing comfort over growth.
We're also going to talk about why you're more afraid of being rejected by others than you are aware of how often you're rejecting yourself. This episode isn't about shaming yourself for not doing enough. It's about understanding why it feels so hard and what to do differently.
I'm going to give you a very specific calendar task plus a three-question prompt to guide you in that exact moment when you feel the urge to avoid the thing you know would help you heal. You can access the full episode by becoming a premium subscriber, which is just $5 a month.
