The Divorce Chapter

Send us a text

Are you ready to ditch the numbing traps and face the emotional rollercoaster of divorce like an absolute boss?

In this episode of The Divorce Chapter, we’re going into the concept of emotional sobriety….aka your new divorce superpower.

✨ We start with a sprinkle of inspiration from Wicked in honour of the movie coming out in the UK, because, yes, even Elphaba has lessons to teach us about resilience, truth, and rising above the BS (hello, narcissistic wizards 👀). And who doesn’t need a little “Defying Gravity” energy in their life?

Then we get real about the traps we fall into post-divorce….wine o’clock, emotional eating, doom scrolling, and retail therapy, anyone? 🙋‍♀️

But unfortunately numbing out doesn’t heal the pain….it just presses pause. So, how do we stop?

I’m breaking down the practical steps for emotional sobriety that will help you feel ALL the feels, process them, and come out stronger on the other side.

PLUS, I’ve got tips to survive Santa season 🎅 a time when emotions can hit harder than a tin of Quality Street to the face.

If you’ve ever turned to wine, TikTok, or Maltesers to numb the pain (no shade, we’ve all been there), this episode is for you.

Emotional sobriety isn’t easy, but it’s the ultimate glow-up tool for moving forward after divorce.

Let’s rebuild, one healthy step at a time. You’ve got this, my love. 💛

I’d love to hear what you think….. If you find the episode helpful, it would mean the world to me if you left a review or shared it with someone who might need it. 💖

Until next week please take care of you, and sending you loads of love,

P.S. For December in the book club, we’re doing a self-care book. I know that Christmas might feel super f*cking tough…. Especially if it’s your first one after divorce.

So this book looks to be a good one…. Especially as its tagline is ‘how to let go of frazzle and make time for you’. Which we all need in Santa Season right?!
