495 - Divorce transition and how to get through it

When we go through a separation or divorce, it's not just the end of a relationship; it's the unraveling of almost every part of our lives. Our routines shift, our finances change, our plans for the future are rewritten, and our sense of identity can feel completely shaken. Everything we thought life would look like suddenly flips upside down, and the impact of that runs far deeper than most people realise. In this episode, I'm talking about why separation feels so overwhelming, especially for single mums who are often trying to process life-changing emotional pain while also holding everything together for their children. We'll explore what makes this transition so heavy, why it's normal to feel lost or disoriented, what the six needs are that help us move through the divorce transition, and how to begin moving through the emotional shock while still navigating daily life.
