35. Marking the Moment: How Rituals and Ceremonies Can Help You Heal After Divorce

Send us a text

Divorce isn’t just a legal process—it’s a major life transition that deserves to be acknowledged. In this episode, I talk with one of my clients, Natalie, about the “Finish the Firsts” party she hosted after her divorce to commemorate her first year as a single woman. She shares the meaningful rituals she included—like smashing a wedding vase, crafting symbolic bracelets, and expressing gratitude to her support system.

We also dive into the importance of ceremony and ritual in marking a big life change, helping you process the past, embrace healing, and shift your focus to the future. Whether it’s a private moment of reflection or a full-on celebration, I’ll share ideas for creating your own divorce ritual to honor your growth, let go, and step into your next chapter with confidence.

If you’ve been looking for a way to close one chapter and fully embrace the next, this episode is for you!
