Ep #22: Dating After Divorce (With Quinn Otrera from the Post-Divorce Glow-Up Show)

Hey there, beautiful souls!

In this episode, I’m thrilled to back my dear friend and former coach, Quinn! Today, we’re diving into the world of dating with our unique perspectives and experiences.

I’ll share my post-divorce journey—married young, divorced at 31, and navigating dating with three kids. It was a mix of excitement and nerves, with lessons on anxious attachment and emotional flashbacks from past trauma. Quinn, married for 23 years with nine kids, brings her own compelling story of dating post-divorce.

We discuss our beliefs about men, the intersection of dating and motherhood, and the wild world of dating apps. Spoiler: I dove in head-first, while Quinn was more cautious.

Quinn also shares her transformative experience with plant medicine, particularly psilocybin, which helped her process trauma and reclaim her sense of safety. We reminisce about a weekend of embracing femininity and celebrating our bodies.

We’ll cover Quinn’s first dating experiences post-divorce, the importance of support and sisterhood, and the concept of a “good goodbye.”

Finally, we explore navigating friendships with exes and finding our true selves through relationships. I share how my past romance with my ex, Matt, transformed into a deep platonic bond. We also discuss trusting your intuition, self-awareness, and setting boundaries with exes and male friends.

Join us for a candid, empowering, and laughter-filled chat as we explore healing, reclaiming our bodies, and finding love and connection after trauma.

So grab a cup of tea, get cozy, and join us for a heartfelt conversation. Let’s explore the beautiful mess that is post-divorce dating together.
