Episodes

130: The truth about divorce no one wants to hear - but need to 22.04.2026

NOTE: Call is May 4th @ 6pm EST (I think I said 7pm in the episode) This episode is a little more direct than usual… because this part of the divorce process requires it. We’re talking about one of the most common concerns I hear: Fear around legal fees And while that’s completely valid… there’s a deeper truth most women aren’t told. Divorce is expensive - but it’s not just about the lawyer. It’s...

129: What Self-Love really looks like (you might already be doing it) 15.04.2026

Self-love is talked about everywhere… but rarely in a way that actually helps. In this episode, we break down what self-love really looks like in real life—especially during and after a relationship breakdown. If you’ve been wondering whether you’re doing it “right”… this might change the way you see yourself completely. And if you’re craving a deeper connection with yourself, you can explore upco...

128: How to reclaim your confidence (and intuition) during divorce 09.04.2026

This episode is for the woman who feels unsure of herself… and thinks confidence is something she needs to “find” before she can move forward. We talk about what confidence actually is, how it’s built, and why your intuition may not be gone at all… just unheard. If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, feeling stuck, or waiting to feel ready… this episode will help you start trusting yourself agai...

127: The Hidden Cost of Peace (and Why It Feels Like Loneliness) 01.04.2026

There’s a part of healing no one really prepares you for. It's what comes after things are sorted, after the tears and the chaos… the quiet. In this episode, I’m sharing a concept that reframes loneliness in a powerful way - the idea that every way of living comes with a cost… including peace. If you’ve been wondering, “Did I make the wrong decision?”, or wondering if you will be alone for th...

126: When you're not as angry as everyone thinks you should be 25.03.2026

There’s a quiet question many women ask after separation or divorce… but almost feel ashamed to say out loud: “Is it okay that I’m okay?” In this episode, we’re talking about the pressure to feel a certain way after a relationship ends - especially the idea that you should be more angry, more hurt, or more visibly broken. Because what if your newfound peace isn’t avoidance… but truth? We expl...

125: Why you keep attracting the same relationship (even though they are different) 11.03.2026

Why You Keep Attracting the Same Man (Even When He Looks Different) Have you ever looked back at your relationships and wondered… How did I end up here again? The man is different. The circumstances are different. And yet the emotional experience feels strangely familiar. In this episode, Elisabeth explores one of the most common and painful patterns women notice after a breakup, separation, or di...

124: The hard truth about why women stay too long 04.03.2026

Many women quietly ask themselves this question after a relationship ends: Why did I stay so long? In today’s episode, we explore the deeper reasons why women often remain in relationships long after their peace has begun to disappear. This conversation isn’t about blame or regret — it’s about understanding the powerful forces of loyalty, hope, fear, and conditioning that influence our decisions....

123: When You’re Tired of Explaining Yourself 11.02.2026

There comes a point where you’re no longer tired because you’re doing too much — you’re tired because you’ve been carrying too much of everyone else . In this episode, we talk about the quiet exhaustion so many women experience after emotional upheaval — the kind that comes from over-explaining, over-giving, and constantly putting yourself last in order to keep the peace. We explore how losing tou...

122: Speaking Your Truth: The Path Back to Yourself 21.01.2026

In this episode, we talk about the quiet, powerful practice of speaking your truth to yourself and why it’s one of the most important steps in healing. When we’ve spent years coping, caretaking, or surviving emotional misalignment and loss, it’s easy to lose touch with our inner voice. This conversation explores how honesty creates safety, how the body holds truth, and how reconnecting with yourse...

121: Custody, parenting time, support and choosing what is fair and right but not always easy 14.01.2026

We did not have kids to find ourselves in a situation where we are sharing time with them with someone we no longer want to live with or who has chosen to not live with us. It's hard and sad and all the things. I see you and I get it. I hated walking past the empty bedrooms on the nights that they were with their dad. AND I also know how important their relationship with him was. Let's talk about...

120: Is getting divorced one of your New Year's resolutions or still struggling to let go? 08.01.2026

January sees an increase of approximately 30% in calls to divorce lawyers. Is it because people are making new year's resolutions to get divorced, or did they wait until after the holidays before making the move. Both are most likely true.  And while January is a month for resolutions, goals and intention setting - I would like to invite you to focus on something different this month - YOU.&n...

119: Reclaiming peace during the holidays and letting go of visions of past seasons 05.11.2025

There’s something about this time of year. The lights, the gatherings, the way the air itself feels full of both memory and expectation. For many, it’s a season of connection and dinners, rituals and familiar traditions. But for many others, maybe for you this year, it’s also a time that triggers memories and sadness. Maybe you feel the absence of someone who used to be there. Maybe the family tab...

118: Reclaim your sense of belonging and the healing power of being witnessed 29.10.2025

When we’ve been hurt, our instinct is to retreat, to heal in private and protect our hearts. But true healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we are witnessed gently, without judgment and reminded that we are not alone. In this episode, I explore the deep human need to belong and the medicine that comes when we allow ourselves to be seen. You’ll learn why connection is essen...

117: From pain stories to power stories 01.10.2025

Today's episode is about stories. Stories of heartbreak, betrayal, grief and generally the human experience. We all have them. Stories about what happened to us, about who we are now, about what we’ve lost. And those stories can feel heavy, like they define us. But here’s the beautiful truth: stories can change. We just have to learn to rewrite them and be willing to. We don’t erase what...

116: Why we heal faster together than alone 24.09.2025

If you’ve ever had the experience of sitting with a friend, or several, and realizing that being witnessed, being heard, already made you feel lighter… then this episode is for you.  In today’s world, so many of us are walking through heartbreak, through transitions, through loss, completely alone. We forget that our mothers, our grandmothers, our ancestors, never carried their pain in isolat...

115: Releasing the emotional imprints that are holding you and your healing back 20.08.2025

  From the moment we are born our experiences, upbringing and rites of passage create imprints on our brain that tell us who we are and what our roles are etc. Or at least what we believe they are. But what if these imprints don't feel good anymore? Maybe they never did. How do you change the negative tracks now that you are changing your life? So excited to share this episode with you. And m...

114: Rewriting the Fairytale: “Soul Sisters Over Soulmates” 01.08.2025

Have you ever woken up, kids grown, career humming along, maybe the papers of a divorce finally filed—looked around and thought: Is this it? There’s a hush that settles in mid-life. For some of us it’s sudden like the slam of a door after the last child leaves. For others it creeps in as roles we once wore like a second skin begin to loosen. And with that hush comes an ache we don’t always have la...

113: The Validation Trap: How Seeking Approval Blocks Our Healing 21.05.2025

Do you find yourself waiting for an apology, a compliment, or even a sign that your healing is being witnessed? In this raw and tender episode, we explore the often invisible — yet incredibly powerful — force of validation and how it can quietly keep us stuck in pain. From the early childhood roots of needing to be seen and soothed, to the ego’s endless loop of craving approval (especially after h...

112: Hating or blaming men does not make healing from divorce easier or more rightous 14.05.2025

In this rather different episode, I get real about a sensitive but important topic: the tendency for women to generalize and hate men after divorce — and why that mindset, while understandable, doesn’t actually serve your healing, or theirs. I talk about: Why anger and grief after betrayal are valid — but hate is not the path to freedom How generalizing “all men” keeps us stuck in pain,...

111: Manifesting Love and Happiness for Yourself 23.04.2025

Today we’re diving into a topic that feels so close to the heart - how to manifest love and happiness in your life after divorce. I've talked about this before but we're doing it again a little differently.  I know you want to attract love and happiness in your life, but this is not about attracting someone else. Let's start by attracting YOU! Become the source of the love and...

110: Turning Pain Into Power: Lessons Divorce Teaches Us 16.04.2025

Today’s episode is all about turning one of life’s hardest experiences into one of your greatest sources of strength. I know it might not feel that way right now, but your pain holds incredible power. In this episode, I’ll show you how to shift from feeling broken to feeling brave, and how to use everything you’ve been through to rise even stronger. Some of what I cover: Viewing pain as a por...

109: How intimacy can be the proof and the reason a marriage ends 09.04.2025

The conversation around physical intimacy in a marriage is generally one that is kept private. And then when the separation happens a whole new layer of shame, embarrassment and secrecy is added. I want to open that door a bit and shed some light on how closely connected physical intimacy is to emotional intimacy and how that affects a potential reconciliation and how the two connect with each oth...

108: How to heal and choose your happiness during the legal part of your divorce 04.04.2025

We need to overcome the conditioning of prioritizing everyone else's needs over our own. This does not make you a better person. It's time for women to learn that taking care of you is a priority and necessary for everyone. Doing that during a hostile legal battle with your soon to be ex is absolutely a challenge, but again, necessary. Talking about that today and wanting you to hear how worthy yo...

107: From Heartbreak to Sovereignty: Lessons from Costa Rica while Honouring Women’s Day 06.03.2025

Today we honor the sacred essence of womanhood, not just as a role we play in society, but as the force of creation, transformation, and resilience. International Women’s Day is not just about celebrating the achievements of women—it’s about reclaiming our voice, our power, and our place in the world. We will talk about sovereignty and what that is: Emotional Freedom – not allowing others to...

106: Creating a Life You Love—Even When It Feels Impossible 26.02.2025

Today’s episode is about something truly empowering - creating a life you love, even when it feels impossible. Divorce can feel like the end, but in reality, it’s the beginning of something new. If you’re struggling to see the path forward, feeling lost, or unsure of what’s next, this episode is for you. I’ll be sharing powerful steps to help you rediscover joy, set new intentions, and design a li...
