Divorce recovery in the transformational space - J’Anmetra Waddell || Divorce Recovery Men Over 40 Podcast 007 || David

In this conversation, J’Anmetra Waddell Shanaut, a transformation advocate, discusses the process of recovery and transformation after divorce, particularly for individuals over 40. I thought a woman's point of view would be interesting. She emphasizes the importance of giving oneself permission to change and be different, while also providing a support system to navigate the journey. The conversation covers topics such as managing loneliness, rediscovering identity, setting boundaries, coping mechanisms, establishing new routines, and the role of self-care. J’Anmetra highlights the significance of telling a new story and embracing new possibilities. She also offers advice on starting the dating process after divorce and validating grief, anger, and pain.Takeaways and Interesting points….-Give yourself permission to go through radical change and be different-Find a support system to guide you through the journey of recovery and transformation-Rediscover your identity and find joy in activities that you enjoy-Set boundaries to manage loneliness and navigate new relationships-Develop healthy coping mechanisms and establish new routines-Acknowledge and process grief, anger, and pain, but don't dwell in them-Practice self-care and prioritize taking care of yourself-I love boxing-One day is everyday and one day never arrives-Someone says you’re full of yourself say thank you because you have extra to give to others-Word replacement-Addicted to your story, stop telling it and create a new one-Italian food with lots of garlic-Give yourself to feel the pain and let it go - 24 hoursI appreciate J’Anmetra taking the time for podcasting with me.  It was more fun than I could have hoped for.  Just like two friends catching up having coffee.  It was a blast.  Hope to get her back on the show for some more ‘transformational’ knowledge.  Thanks again.Y’Anmetra’s info:Live Past Crazy WebsiteDivorce Recovery Men Over 40 WebsiteHosted on Ausha.
