22 | Confidence Isn’t Vanity. It’s Stepping Into Who God Says You Are After Divorce

from The Midlife Comeback Club | Divorce, Faith, Confidence, Relationships, Healing · host Lori Ann Feeley | Christian Life Coach for Divorced Women

Ep 22: Confidence Isn't Vanity.  It's Stepping Into Who God Says You Are After Divorce Can I be honest with you for a second? After my divorce, I didn't just lose my confidence. I felt guilty for even wanting it back. Like somehow wanting to feel good about myself again was selfish, vain, or spiritually off-track. And girl,  if that's where you are right now, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm talking about confidence after divorce — and not the surface-level "just believe in yourself more" kind. We're going deeper. Because real confidence isn't vanity. It's not ego. It's not arrogance. It's actually just learning how to agree with what God already says about you. And that changes everything. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why so many Christian women feel guilty for wanting to feel confident again — and the truth behind that guilt The sneaky way divorce quietly erodes your confidence after divorce long before you even realize it's happening The critical difference between confidence and vanity  Three practical steps you can start this week to rebuild your confidence — rooted in God, not your circumstances Why "going back to who you were before" is actually keeping you stuck — and what God is really inviting you into instead Here's what I know to be true after walking through my own divorce and coming out the other side. There was a season where I couldn't see even a sliver of light. I didn't see a way through. I had maybe a mustard seed of faith — and honestly, some days that felt like a stretch. But God used that tiny seed. And the woman standing here today? She is not the woman who sat in the dark wondering if she'd ever get back up. I want that same thing for you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made — full stop. No asterisk. No "except for that divorce." Just period. And it is time to start living like you believe that.  🙌 Join The Midlife Comeback Club — my annual group coaching mentorship for midlife divorced Christian women: 👉 https://loriannfeeley.com/the-midlife-comeback-club 💕Take the FREE Divorce Recovery Quiz — find out exactly where you are in your healing after divorce journey (survival mode? clarity phase? rediscovery? rising?) 👉 https://loriannfeeley.com/divorce-recovery-quiz 💃 Join the FREE Facebook Community — Healing After Divorce for Midlife Christian Women: 👉 bit.ly/healingaftermidlifedivorce 😀 Become An Insider: Get on my email list for weekly encouragement + special offers! 👉 loriannfeeley.com/insider Connect With Me: 💕 Website: https://www.loriannfeeley.com 💕 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loriannfeeley 💕 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553120634513
