How She Rises After Divorce with Tonja

Rising after a divorce is a journey that demands faith and self-compassion. As we navigate through this tumultuous phase, the support of the right circle of friends becomes paramount. Uncertainty looms over the future, making it more critical to cultivate a strong support system and learn the art of speaking self-love into our own hearts. Our harshest critic often resides within us, shaping doubts and insecurities, but believing in our intrinsic worth and potential is key to taking control of our own path. It's this unshakable self-belief that becomes the cornerstone of our resurgence. Even amid the chaos, there is purpose waiting to be unleashed. Every struggle and setback carries valuable lessons. Embracing the meaning behind our struggles will empower us to rise from the ashes with renewed determination to embark on a new chapter and carve a path forward with confidence and strength.

Join the conversation with Tonja as we explore the reality of divorce… falling down, facing chaos, and how to pick yourself up with grace and start over. Our special guest, Tonja, shares the raw truth of how hard it is to get out of bed when you are navigating the realities of divorce. She also shares insights on how to rise after divorce, the importance of reliable friendships, how bonds are formed, and how the strength of the right people can carry you through even the toughest times.
