The #1 Lie Women Believe About Divorce - with Kimberly Lorah

💬 message Denise After over 25 years with her partner, Kimberly’s world was completely upended by a divorce she never saw coming. She describes that season as "temporary insanity," and honestly...Who hasn't felt that way when life pulls the rug out from under you? But instead of letting that be the end of her story, she used that rock bottom as a launchpad.Kimberly took her 20 years of experience as a therapist and her own lived heartbreak to become a certified divorce coach. She founded Blossom Coaching because she realized there was a massive gap in support for women who feel untethered and lost in the middle of a life transition. We talk about the "red flags" we often paint green just to keep the peace, the struggle of losing your identity when a long-term marriage ends, and the incredible gift of finding your own voice again.She’s living proof that your life is not over just because a chapter ended. In fact, she’s happier now at 55 than she’s ever been, and she’s helping other women realize that they can be "better than okay" too. If you’ve been feeling lonely, stuck, or like you’re just "chugging along" in a life that doesn't feel true to you, Kimberly’s wisdom is the hug and the nudge you’ve been looking for.We dive into:Navigating the "temporary insanity" of major life changesWhy we ignore our intuition and how to start trusting it againRebuilding an identity that belongs entirely to youThe power of finding a community that actually gets itThis episode is such a reminder that even the hardest endings are just making space for a brand new, more authentic beginning.Connect with Kimberly:Website: https://kimberlylorahcoaching.com/Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/blossomcoachingllc/                                 https://www.facebook.com/kimberlylorahcoachingKimberly is the host of the YouTube series Discussions with a Divorce Coach: 5 Questions in 15 Minutes—a fast, focused, and insight-driven show featuring conversations with divorce professionals to help listeners better understand the many pieces of divorce - legal, financial, emotional, and practical -  and navigate divorce with greater clarity.https://www.youtube.com/@KimberlyLorahBlossomCoaching/podcastsThank you for spending time with me today on the Thrive After 45™ podcast!
