Let's talk about the thing nobody admits out loud: sometimes divorce feels like relief, not tragedy. And then the guilt comes crashing in.

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most confusing emotions after divorce—that unexpected lightness you feel when you realize you don't have to walk on eggshells anymore. That breath you take when you understand nobody's going to criticize you today. That freedom that makes you smile... and then immediately feel terrible for smiling.

You might be wondering: What kind of person feels relieved that their marriage ended? Does this mean I never really loved them? Am I selfish? Is something wrong with me?

Spoiler alert: Nothing is wrong with you.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why relief after divorce is not only normal—it's actually a sign you made the right decision
• The real reasons we feel guilty about feeling good (hint: it's not what you think)
• What your relief is trying to tell you about what you were sacrificing in your marriage
• How to release the guilt using practical strategies and universal laws
• Why your relief is actually a superpower that will guide your future

Whether you're feeling guilty about enjoying your freedom, worried about what people will think, or confused about having mixed emotions, this episode will give you permission to feel good without the shame.

This episode is for you if:

• You feel lighter since your divorce ended but guilty about that lightness
• You're pretending to be sadder than you actually are
• You're afraid your relief means you didn't try hard enough
• You need permission to celebrate your freedom

Your relief is valid. Your peace is sacred. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with you for wanting to breathe again.

Nobody warns you about this part of divorce.

That first night in your new place. Or that first night after he moves out. The silence. The empty bed. The cold sheets on the other side.

Sleeping alone after years — maybe decades — of sharing a bed with someone.

And if you're going through this right now, I want you to know: You're not crazy for struggling with this. You're not weak. You're not pathetic. You're human.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✨ Why sleeping alone is so hard — the biological, emotional, and psychological reasons your body is struggling

✨ The emotions you might feel (loneliness, grief, relief, fear, anger) — and why they're all completely normal

✨ What NOT to do when you're struggling — including the temptations that will set your healing back

✨ 10 practical coping strategies — from creating a new bedtime routine to making your bed a sanctuary

✨ Scripture for sleepless nights — what God says about your loneliness and fear

✨ When it gets easier — my personal story of going from dreading bedtime to actually loving sleeping alone

This episode is for you if:

• You dread going to bed at night
• The empty bed makes you cry
• You feel crushing loneliness when it's quiet
• You're worried you'll never be okay sleeping alone
• You're tempted to text your ex or rush into a new relationship just to fill the void

What you'll walk away with:

Practical strategies you can start using tonight to make sleeping alone more bearable. You'll understand why this is so hard, what's normal to feel, and most importantly — that this won't last forever. It gets easier. I promise.

Are you carrying guilt, bitterness, or resentment after your divorce?

There's a simple four-phrase prayer that has the power to completely transform your healing journey. It's called Ho'oponopono — an ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and reconciliation.

And if you're stuck in anger toward your ex, drowning in guilt about your kids, or punishing yourself for past mistakes, this prayer is for you.

In this episode, you'll discover:

✨ The four powerful phrases of Ho'oponopono — and why they work to release what you've been carrying

✨ Exact scripts for using this prayer to forgive your ex, yourself, and release guilt about your kids

✨ Why you can't manifest a better life from a bitter mind — and how forgiveness raises your vibration

✨ The biblical foundation for this practice — and how it aligns with what God says about forgiveness

✨ My personal 21-day Ho'oponopono journey — and the testimony I'll be sharing with you soon

This episode is for you if:

• You're holding onto bitterness toward your ex
• You feel crushing guilt about your divorce or your kids
• You blame yourself for everything that went wrong
• You know you need to forgive but don't know how
• You're ready to release what's blocking your blessings

What you'll walk away with:

You'll have a practical, powerful tool you can use every single day to release guilt, bitterness, and pain. Forgiveness doesn't mean what they did was okay — it means you're choosing freedom over bitterness. And that's the bravest thing you can do.

The Four Phrases: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
