  Episode 100: What Starting Over After Divorce Actually Looks Like Two Years Later

  Sep 24, 202616 min

  One hundred episodes. Two years of showing up every single week for women who are navigating divorce and empty nest and everything that comes with it. And for episode 100 I'm not talking about strategies or frameworks or what to do next. I'm talking about what happens when you actually do it. When I started this podcast I was teaching full time at a university, newly divorced, and building something on the side with no guarantee it was going to work. I was also starting over after a long marriage to a man who brought in significant income and learning for the first time in my life that I could take care of myself. Two years later, I have a full private coaching practice, and I walked away from the job that felt safe. It still frightens me. Regularly. And it has given me more freedom than I have ever experienced in my entire life. Starting over after divorce IS scary. And it is exactly the thing that leads to freedom. Not someday in the future. When you decide. Thank you for being here. For listening. And for acting. You are the reason this podcast exists. Join me for my free masterclass — Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever? Register here: Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever? The Masterclass. About Julie: After 23 years of marriage and a betrayal she never saw coming, Julie found herself starting over from scratch. No roadmap. No guarantee it would be okay. Just the decision that her life was worth rebuilding. Julie is now a Certified Life Coach, a Health and Wellness Coach, and founder of the FIERCE Sisterhood — a transformative community for divorced women ready to rebuild their lives from the inside out. She hosts the Better Because of Divorce podcast because she believes divorced women deserve more than surface-level positivity. They deserve real, lasting transformation. She knows what it costs to start over. And she knows what's possible on the other side.

  Episode 99 - Milestone Moments After Divorce: How to Show Up Fully When It's Complicated

  Sep 17, 202616 min

  My daughter received her white coat last week. For those who don't know, a white coat ceremony is the moment a medical student takes the oath that marks the formal beginning of their journey as a physician. It was one of the most extraordinary moments of my life. And I was not alone in that room. My ex was there. His fiancée. His parents. My daughter quietly navigating which side of the family to have lunch with. Everyone trying to be diplomatic. Everyone trying to make it work. And underneath all of it, my own feelings. Very much present. Very much real. In this episode I'm talking about milestone moments after divorce. Not just white coat ceremonies. Graduations. Weddings. Births. Birthdays. Every moment that matters and brings the whole complicated post-divorce family into one room. Because here's what I know. Those moments don't stop coming just because you got divorced. And your child, whatever their age, deserves a parent who shows up fully for them. Not around the complexity. Not in spite of it. Inside it. Fully present. Celebrating them first. The precious moments are coming whether you feel ready or not. And you deserve to be there for every single one of them. Join me for my free masterclass — Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever?

  Episode 98: What If You Convinced Yourself You Don't Deserve More After Divorce & Empty Nest?

  Sep 10, 202612 min

  What if the life you want after divorce isn't out of reach? What if you just can't see it yet? There is a particular kind of stuck that doesn't look like stuck from the outside. You have a roof over your head. People who love you. Enough to get by. And you've told yourself, quietly and repeatedly, that wanting more is ungrateful. That bigger lives are for other people. That your job is to be content with what you have. But here's the truth. You can't find a future you can't see. And the reason you can't see it has nothing to do with whether it's available to you. It has everything to do with the story that's been sitting in front of it blocking the view for longer than you realize. In this episode we're talking about the women who don't join the Sisterhood because they've convinced themselves they don't need it or don't deserve it. And why that belief that quiet, humble-sounding, completely understandable belief, is the exact story keeping them from the life that's waiting for them. We cover where that story comes from and why it sounds so much like gratitude. Why happiness is not a finite resource and your abundance does not take anything from anyone else. Why fear keeps women from doing the work that would set them free. And what becomes possible the moment that story is finally found, named and released. Big lives aren't for everybody. But if you're listening to this podcast — you are not everybody. Join me for my free masterclass — Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever? Register here: Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever? The Masterclass.

  Episode 97 - You Are Never Alone: The Healing Power of Community After Divorce

  Sep 3, 202613 min

  Here's something nobody tells you when your marriage ends. The most dangerous thing you can do right now is try to heal from divorce alone. Not dangerous in a dramatic way. Dangerous in the quiet, slow, barely-noticeable way that keeps women stuck for years, carrying the same grief, the same pain, the same patterns, with no one to witness it, reflect it back, or show them another way. Healing after divorce was never meant to be a solo project. In this episode I'm talking about what happens when it finally isn't. I recently spent time with a group of sisters in Destin. And what I watched happen in that room, the laughter, the love, the particular energy of women who have been through something real and don't have to explain themselves to each other, reminded me of everything I believe about why community changes the speed and the quality of healing after divorce completely. We cover why isolation is the enemy of healing after divorce, and what it actually costs you to white-knuckle your way through this alone. What it feels like to be in a room where you don't have to explain yourself because everyone already knows. And why the women who heal fastest are never the ones who trY hardest; they're the ones who stopped trying to do it alone. Healing after divorce takes so much longer without the right people around you. Some women never fully heal at all. Not because they aren't capable. Because they tried to do something alone that was never meant to be done that way. Join me for my free masterclass — Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever? Register here: Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever?

  Episode 96: What Dolly Saw

  Aug 27, 202612 min

  What Dolly Saw - And What I See in You The world lost Dolly Parton this week. And I couldn't let this moment pass without talking about what she meant, not just as an icon, but as a woman who spent her entire life doing one extraordinary thing. She saw possibility in people. In children who didn't have books. In employees at a theme park in Tennessee. In anyone who crossed her path. She didn't see who they were performing or who they were trying to be. She saw the real version. The best version. The one hiding underneath everything the world had piled on top of them. And because she saw it, they became it. This episode is about that gift. And about what possibility after divorce actually looks like when someone finally sees it in you. I went to Dollywood for the first time this year. And I want to tell you what I notice, because it stopped me cold and made me think about everything I do inside the FIERCE Sisterhood. We also talk about the women who walk into the Sisterhood dragging their dreams behind them in a box that's been taped shut and padlocked. Who come in brokenhearted and broken in the bank account and convinced that the life they want belongs to someone else. And what happens when someone finally sees them. Really sees them. Possibility after divorce is real. It's specific. And it's been waiting inside that box the whole time. Join me for my free masterclass — Afraid You'll Be Alone Forever?
