103: The Power of Radical Self-Care during and after Divorce

Today’s episode is all about something that is often overlooked, yet it is the foundation of true healing—radical self-care. I’m not just talking about bubble baths (though those are great!), but deep, soul-nourishing self-care that helps you step into your new life with strength and grace. Redefining Self-Care (Why It’s More Than Just Pampering) Many women neglect self-care because they’ve been conditioned to put others first.  Divorce leaves emotional, mental, and physical scars—healing requires intentional self-care. Self-care is not just relaxation but also boundary-setting, emotional processing, and creating joy. We call it radical self-care because it requires an intentional shift in how you treat yourself. It’s about prioritizing your healing unapologetically, breaking old patterns, and making yourself a non-negotiable priority. We talk about the 3 Pillars of Radical Self-Care Emotional Self-Care: Physical Self-Care: Spiritual & Energetic Self-Care:   LINKS MENTIONED AND MORE ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT for our 2025 retreat in Costa Rica, Feb. 22 - March 1, 2025  https://www.theseparationclub.com/costa-rica-retreat  Our first retreat at Oodles Resort in Spain promises to be oodles of fun - sorry - couldn’t resist.
