Get Over Divorce
206. Why a Growing Number of Divorced Women Want Nothing to do With Men
Inside this episode I explore why an increasing number of divorced women are choosing to stay single rather than re-enter the dating world. After years of shouldering disproportionate mental loads, managing households, and people-pleasing in their marriages, these midlife women are experiencing a profound liberation post-divorce. They're finally putting themselves first, creating lives filled with peace and autonomy, and many have decided that no relationship is worth sacrificing the freedom they've fought so hard to reclaim. From political divisiveness to toxic "bro-caster" culture that diminishes women, the dating landscape has become so exhausting that many women would rather cross paths with a bear in the woods than risk another disappointing encounter with a man. But this isn't about giving up on love entirely, it's about raising the bar so high that only truly exceptional partners need apply. I share my own journey of finding love again with intention, not luck, and discuss how the women in my program are learning to become so self-secure and empowered that if they do choose to date, they're doing it from a place of power rather than need. Whether you're one of the liberated women choosing peace over partnership, or someone who still believes in finding that diamond in the rough, this episode validates your choice and offers a path forward on your own terms.
