Ep. 290 - Why Cord Cutting Doesn’t Work After Divorce (And the Practice That Actually Breaks the Nervous-System Grip)

Letting go after divorce isn’t about willpower.
It’s about physiology.

Your body won’t release someone until it feels anchored somewhere safer than the place it’s been clinging.
And that’s why cord-cutting rituals, no-contact declarations, and “I’m done for real this time” moments almost never stick.

In this guided premium episode, we’re not letting go into emptiness...we’re letting go into self-belonging, the only place your nervous system actually trusts.

Inside this practice, you’ll experience:

• a guided drop-in to help your body feel held enough to release
• why your system keeps reaching for someone who once felt like safety
• the subtle shift that makes letting go feel possible, not terrifying
• a “My Body Said No” moment that clarifies what part of you is resisting
• one sentence to use when you feel the urge to reach back out

This is the deeper work:
not forcing yourself to let go...
but giving your nervous system a safer place to land.

Press play when you're ready to feel a real shift, not just think about one.
