About this episode
No one really talks about the in-between phase of divorce — the muddy middle, or what I sometimes call HELL. This is the stage after you’ve decided to divorce (or the decision was made for you), but before the papers are signed. Whether you’re still sharing the same space with your soon-to-be ex or navigating separate homes, this messy middle is one of the hardest parts of divorce.In this episode, I’m validating what it feels like to live in divorce limbo:The waiting game with lawyers, mediation, and endless paperworkThe anger, shock, and grief that come in wavesWhat it’s like to live with (or keep encountering) the person who betrayed youThe nervous system toll of walking on eggshells every dayThe invisible losses that show up before the divorce is even finalizedIf you’ve ever thought:“I’m married on paper, but divorced in my heart.”“Every day feels like walking on eggshells with a stranger in my house.”“It’s like time has slowed down, but my body is racing.”— then this episode is for you.I’ll share practical tools to help you survive the in-between stage of divorce, including how to create micro-bubbles of safety, set and keep boundaries, name this stage out loud, and envision the future you are walking toward.You don’t have to go through the middle space alone. This episode is about reminding you that the middle is a passageway, not a destination — and you are stronger than you feel right now._____________________________?
