  • Summary

  • When you have experienced CPTSD due to your partner's infidelity, addiction and abusive behaviors, it's chipped away at your sense of empowerment. Divorce is hard enough, but divorcing after betrayal, abuse and a narcissist is another level of hard. I help women navigate divorce from a place of empowerment, dignity and strength. Learn tools to practice each week, hear from other women & professionals to help you feel supported along your healing journey. Divorce after betrayal doesn't have to be the story of your life, YOU create the story and are the chooser in it. Because You Can!

    116. People Pleasing or Kindness?
    Nov 21 2024
    In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of people pleasing—what it is, why we do it, and how it affects our relationships and well-being. I'll unravel the differences between genuine kindness and people pleasing, especially after challenging relationships or divorces. We'll explore the fears driving these behaviors and how people pleasing strips away our authenticity. I'll also share practical insights on recognizing these patterns in yourself and others, the importance of self-love and boundary-setting, and how to cultivate empathy and respect without seeking validation.

  • 115. Radical Acceptance

    115. Radical Acceptance
    Nov 14 2024
    I'm diving deep into the transformative concept of radical acceptance. We'll explore how fully accepting situations and people as they are, without trying to change or approve of them, can liberate you from unnecessary suffering and emotional turmoil. We'll discuss how resisting reality creates internal strife, clouds judgment, and drains mental resources, and how detaching yourself from the need to change others can enhance your problem-solving and emotional wellbeing. I'll provide actionable steps like cultivating awareness and practicing powerful mantras that reinforce your powerlessness over others. Get ready to drop the rope tied to destructive influences in your life and invest your energy where it can genuinely improve your life. 00:53 Introduction to Radical Acceptance 01:43 Understanding Radical Acceptance 03:27 Applying Radical Acceptance in Relationships 04:16 Personal Experiences with Radical Acceptance 05:33 Challenges and Benefits of Radical Acceptance 07:51 Letting Go of Control 08:19 Embracing Radical Acceptance 08:46 The Impact of Fighting Reality 09:15 Freeing Up Mental Space 09:51 Channeling Energy Effectively 11:16 Detaching from the Need to Convince 12:35 Living Your Life on Your Terms 13:52 Recognizing Your Power ______________________________________________ Women Supporting Women Facebook Group ⁠⁠⁠Join The Facebook Page Here ⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/theempowereddivorce ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DATING FROM WITHIN WORKSHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Next one January 23rd- 25th 2025 Missed it? no worries, find the next Workshop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MONTHLY DIVORCE Q&A⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join myself and others who are navigating the complexities of divorce and the aftermath that you may not have expected.

    114. Understanding & Overcoming Jealousy
    Nov 7 2024
    Today I'm diving deep into the often misunderstood emotion of jealousy and how to process it, especially in the aftermath of betrayal trauma and divorce. I'll explain jealousy in the context of internal family systems, seeing it as a protective 'manager' that signals vulnerabilities and unmet needs. Radical acceptance and healthy anger release are key strategies we'll discuss, alongside the healing power of gratitude to shift focus from lack to abundance. I'll also guide you through practical ways to incorporate gratitude in your daily life and delve into the seven levels of intimacy to reconnect with yourself and build resilience. Tune in to learn how to manage jealousy, practice self-awareness, and prepare to embrace healthy relationships once again. Don't forget to check out my self-paced program 'Intimacy Within' and the upcoming 'Dating Within' workshop for further support on your healing journey. 00:00 Introduction and Checking In 01:24 Understanding and Naming Emotions 03:35 The Impact of Trauma on Emotions 04:43 Exploring the Emotion of Jealousy 06:32 Jealousy in the Context of Relationships 09:43 Jealousy and Self-Reflection 12:22 Unpacking the Roots of Jealousy 13:19 Processing Grief and Emotions 13:38 Embracing Radical Acceptance 14:48 Channeling Anger Constructively 16:41 Letting Go of Obsessive Thoughts 19:19 Practicing Gratitude 21:49 Building Healthy Intimacy _________________________________________________ Women Supporting Women Facebook Group ⁠⁠Join The Facebook Page Here ⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/theempowereddivorce ⁠⁠⁠⁠DATING FROM WITHIN WORKSHOP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Next one January 23rd- 25th 2025 Missed it? no worries, find the next Workshop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MONTHLY DIVORCE Q&A⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join myself and others who are navigating the complexities of divorce and the aftermath that you may not have expected.
