77. Parenting Through Divorce Without Losing Your Mind (or Your Identity) My Conversation with Vivian Meraki

Can you really be a great mom without losing yourself in the process? In this heart-opening episode, I sit down with parenting expert and somatic coach Vivian Meraki to talk about what it really means to parent through divorce. We unpack the pressure to be the “perfect mom,” the guilt that often follows us after a breakup, and how somatic awareness can help us show up for our kids and ourselves. Whether you’re navigating co-parenting, starting over, or just trying to hold it together, you are not alone. Vivian brings so much wisdom, warmth, and practical support to help you redefine motherhood on your own terms.You might want to listen if:You feel like you’re constantly self-sacrificing and losing parts of yourself as a momYou’re trying to break generational parenting patterns but don’t know howYou’re struggling with guilt or shame after a divorceYou want to model confidence, resilience, and self-trust for your kidsYou’re curious about how somatic practices can support emotional healingAbout Our Guest:Vivian Meraki is an award-winning speaker, bestselling author, and trauma-informed parenting expert who helps parent leaders break generational cycles and deeply connect with the people and things that matter to them.
