You’ve decided to separate, but you’re still sharing a home. Who does what now? How do you divide childcare and household duties? And what happens when you’re getting along, enjoying each other’s company, or wanting to have sex? In this episode of A Blessing in Divorce , I talk about the practical arrangements and complicated feelings that come with living together while separated. We explore copa...

In this episode, shared with you as I arrive in Italy to prepare for our women’s retreat, I’m reflecting on fear, change and the courage it takes to do something we have never done before.   Some of the women joining me have never travelled alone - and yet they said yes. We’ll talk about why fear doesn’t always mean we’re making the wrong choice, how self-trust is built through...

So many of us tell ourselves we'll get support once we feel "ready" - once things calm down, once we've figured it out on our own. In this episode, I'm pushing back on that idea. Readiness isn't something you wait for, it's something that gets built, usually with someone walking beside you. I'm sharing what "not ready" actually looks like (it's rarely what you'd expect), what changes when you...

Divorce can leave you questioning your judgment, your choices and even your ability to trust yourself again. But self-trust isn’t about knowing exactly what to do or guaranteeing that you’ll never make another mistake. In this episode, Elisabeth explores how self-trust is slowly worn away, why blaming the woman you once were keeps you stuck, and how small promises can help you rebuild the relation...

Divorce asks women to make some of the most important decisions of their lives while experiencing some of the strongest emotions they have ever felt.   You may be trying to make choices about your children, home, finances and future while also grieving, feeling betrayed or dealing with an ex who is financially controlling, creating legal conflict or seemingly moving happily on with someone ne...

The Life Waiting on the Other Side of Divorce What if divorce isn't the end of your story? So many women spend months, or even years, focused on surviving divorce. The paperwork, the decisions, the heartbreak, the loneliness... it can feel like your entire life has become about simply making it through another day. But what if surviving was never the destination? In this episode, I invite you to g...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

  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...

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...

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...

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,...
