Ep #23: A Love Letter to My Pre-Divorce Self

Hello, beautiful souls!

This episode is super special to me. I’m sitting here, feeling all the feels, inspired by a stormy Texas sky, and ready to dive deep with you all. Today’s chat is a spontaneous, heart-to-heart moment—no scripts, just pure, raw emotion.

As I reflect on nearly five years since my divorce, I’m struck by the incredible growth and the rollercoaster of messy, beautiful human emotions I’ve experienced. It’s been a journey of navigating highs and lows, moments of sheer joy, intense pain, and learning to embrace the duality of life—the light and the dark, the happy and the sad.

In this heartfelt episode, I open up about:
– The highs and lows of life post-divorce.
– The moments of joy and pain that have shaped me.
– How I’ve found beauty in life’s messy parts and learned to celebrate them.

You’ll hear about my recent experiences, from a challenging trip to Vegas to moments of deep connection with my loved ones. I’ll share how a song encapsulated my feelings perfectly, leading me to a profound realization.

This episode is a call to pause and give yourself the love and compassion you deserve. I talk about the importance of choosing where to spend our time and energy and how vital it is to fill ourselves up, not just others. We dive into the impact of childhood trauma, emotionally abusive relationships, and the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves.

I reflect on what it means to live a deeply fulfilling life, including the support of a secure partner and understanding complex attachment styles. It’s a journey of acknowledging trauma, appreciating progress, and building a life where you feel truly safe, loved, and deserving.

Let’s embrace the ups and downs together, knowing every step forward is a triumph. Whether it’s the chaos of a late morning or the joy of creating a better life for our children, it’s all part of the beautiful process of healing and growth.

So, grab a cozy spot, maybe a cup of tea, and join me as we navigate this beautiful, imperfect journey together. Remember, it’s okay to feel everything—it’s what makes us truly alive.
