Charting unfamiliar territory can be a daunting task, and the post-divorce dating landscape is certainly daunting! This episode is a trove of insights, personal anecdotes, and practical advice for those navigating this new phase of life. As a woman who feared speaking my truth and setting boundaries, I share how I overcame my fears and the role past experiences played in this journey. We delve into the concept of toxic traits within relationships and the importance of self-awareness when it comes to setting ourselves up for success.
Vulnerability is often seen as a sign of weakness, but in dating, it can be a powerful tool. We unpack the significance of showing your true self, accepting your partner's authentic self, and the role of accountability in fostering a successful relationship. We also share some guidance on reading early signs even before the conversation deepens. The power of these conversations in shaping the future of your relationship is something that can't be overstated.
Recognizing our own red flags and having those tough conversations is essential in post-divorce dating. We share why it's essential to keep an eye on your emotional guidance scale and why settling should never be an option. Practical steps like setting a step count goal (yep, it's related!) and trusting in your healing process can also be crucial cogs in your dating strategy. We hope this episode will help you navigate through this new chapter in your life with confidence and clarity.

We all crave validation and reassurance - especially when we've experienced rejection. The problem is that external reassurance only lasts for a moment in time, and then it's back to anxious, insecure, or empty. It's time to shift from external validation to self-care and self-love.

I also offer various techniques to access your spiritual essence, including EMDR therapy, deep breathing, and journaling. I emphasize the need to stay consistent in your approach and how to focus on your self-worth and power.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Tap into the power of pure positive energy for transformative healing practices.
• Recognize and overcome limiting self-beliefs holding you back from your true potential.
• Break free from the harmful cycle of seeking validation from external sources.
• Embrace the significance of consistent effort and action as keys to success.

Dig in to discover why breaking up with the 'Good Girl' mentality is the key to prioritizing your physical and emotional needs during a divorce.
Breaking the 'Good Girl' Mentality

The 'Good Girl' mentality has been ingrained in society for centuries, causing women to prioritize others over themselves. This often means suppressing emotions and ignoring one's needs to continually support those around them. Breaking away from this mindset is so important for women to experience growth and healing. Let's shift from this mentality and instead focus on our collective well-being. By taking better care of yourself both emotionally and physically, especially during challenging times, such as a divorce, you can ensure you possess the strength needed to tackle life's obstacles head-on.

Managing Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health During Divorce

Divorce is an incredibly difficult time, and the additional pressures placed on women by societal constructs only exacerbate the struggle. It is essential for women to prioritize their mental, physical, and emotional health during this period to navigate the journey successfully. In this episode, I stress the importance of women being aware of their hormonal cycles and adjusting their self-care routines accordingly during a divorce. By doing so, you can better manage your well-being and overall health, enabling you to handle the situation with resilience and grace.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Confront the societal expectations for women to maintain a 'Good Girl' image during divorce.
• Delve into women's unique emotional and physical requirements for a better understanding.
• Liberate yourself from the 'good girl' stereotype, allowing for true authenticity.
• Harness the knowledge of specialists such as Dr. Mindy Pelz for insights on hormonal cycles.

Don't blame external factors for your feelings; it could be the underlying Good Girl programming at work. - Dawn Wiggins

During this episode, we're also going to talk about how jealousy can resurface after a divorce and how envy often stems from a place of scarcity. As always, I'll share practical strategies for dealing with these emotions, such as identifying and challenging negative beliefs, practicing EFT tapping, and using grounding techniques to regain clarity and find solutions.
If you're struggling with envy or jealousy or even just curious about these complex emotions, be sure to tune in to this episode. We'll discuss:
- The difference between jealousy and envy
- Strategies for managing jealousy and envy
- How negative beliefs drive jealousy and envy

Also, a quick bit of pod gossip: I recently had a wild experience at Times Square, where I saw a billboard for the pod. This got me thinking about the amazing power of intention and positive thinking. I also took the opportunity to hand out 500 pink pens with the pod name on them – an experience that left me feeling so great!
Remember, we're all on this journey of self-discovery and healing together, so join me in this insightful discussion and let's learn and grow together.
