Coping with the Stress of Divorce During the Menopausal Years with Mardi Winder-Adams

This week Dilyana is delighted to welcome Mardi Winder-Adams to the podcast for an encouraging and insightful look at coping with divorce in the menopausal years. Mardi is the go-to divorce coach for high-achieving women. She is dedicated to supporting women to take control of their separation and divorce to reduce the emotional and financial costs of the process. Mardi offers over 30 years of experience in helping women navigate the challenges of high conflict and high asset divorces. Mardi is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas. She is the founder of Positive Communication Systems, LLC, and host of The D-Shift Podcast: Redefining Divorce and Beyond.  In this episode Mardi draws from her own personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of self-care and mindfulness practices such as yoga, breathwork, and meditation. Surprisingly, she initially questioned the effectiveness of these techniques before experiencing a remarkable transformation in her mental state. Through the power of mindfulness, she learned to make better decisions, respond rather than react, and ultimately thrive at guiding women through the challenging process of divorce. Dilyana and Mardi shed light on the unique challenges faced by women going through divorce during menopause. Hormonal changes and emotional turbulence can create added confusion and brain fog, which highlights the necessity for additional support, including the expertise of a menopause coach. Throughout the episode, they explore the positive outcomes of practicing self-care. Building upon the three pillars of sleep, nutrition, and exercise, Mardi encourages women to envision their lives post-divorce while pursuing newfound passions and interests. Divorce can be an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and the realization of long-held aspirations; however it's only by taking the proper steps to safeguard against anxiety and depression that women can thrive in their new lives.   Topics Include: Coping with Divorce During Menopause  The Importance of Mindfulness During a Separation Finding Second Chances Through Self-Care Rediscovering Yourself After Divorce   Connect with Mardi: Podcast Website Linkedin Instagram Facebook   Follow Dilyana: Website Facebook YouTube Produced by: Social Chameleon
