A Blessing in Divorce

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 explore: Why “everything and nothing is normal” during divorce The conditioning around how women are supposed to feel after a breakup Why not feeling anger doesn’t mean you’re weak How grief often happens long before the relationship ends The difference between numbness and completion And how to start trusting your own emotional experience again This is a permission slip to stop performing pain… and start honouring what’s actually true for you.

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 divorce — repeatedly attracting the same kind of relationship. This conversation is not about blame or shame. It’s about understanding the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns that can quietly shape who we feel drawn to. Because until those patterns are brought into awareness and healed, we often find ourselves recreating familiar dynamics — even when we deeply want something different. You’ll learn why this happens, why insight alone doesn’t always change it, and what real healing looks like when we begin rebuilding trust in ourselves and our choices. This episode is for any woman who has ever wondered: Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners? Why do the same relationship dynamics repeat themselves? How do I finally break this cycle? The good news is that patterns can change. And when they do, everything about the way you choose, love, and move through relationships begins to shift. In this episode we explore • Why we often attract what feels familiar, not what is healthy • How early emotional experiences shape our relationship patterns • The role of the nervous system in attraction and connection • Why awareness alone doesn’t always break the cycle • What healing these patterns actually looks like Ready to go deeper?

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. As International Women’s Day approaches, this episode is also a reflection on the courage it takes for women to rebuild their lives and begin again. If you are in the middle of a difficult chapter right now, I hope this conversation reminds you that healing and new beginnings are always possible. In This Episode • Why women are often conditioned to hold relationships together • The role hope plays in keeping us in situations longer than we wish • The fear of the unknown that can make leaving feel impossible • The quiet moment when many women realize something must change • Reclaiming your life after the end of a relationship Work With Me If you are navigating separation, divorce, or a major life transition and would like guidance and support, I offer coaching and community designed specifically for women rebuilding their lives.

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 touch with your own needs slowly erodes your energy, your self-respect, and your sense of self… and why learning to pause, listen inward, and honour your own limits is not selfish — it’s essential. Inside the membership this week, we had a powerful live conversation about boundaries, the power of saying no, and why it feels so difficult for so many women — especially when you’ve been through heartbreak, betrayal, or major life change. And next week, we’ll continue this conversation by looking at emotional exhaustion - what it really is, why rest alone doesn’t fix it, and how reclaiming yourself begins from the inside out. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed, this episode is an invitation to come back to yourself.

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 yourself is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you’ve always been. If you’re feeling disconnected, unsure, or longing to trust yourself again, this episode is for you.

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 it. And for those of you who want more support around, I have opened 3 one-on-one coaching spots for January.

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.  What if instead of forced productivity and goal setting we attune with nature and allow ourselves to rest and sit in stillness. It is during this time we can become clear on what our goals are and what kind of life we want to call in and work towards. Just like the earth is currently sleeping and resting for spring growth, so can we.  And if you are already in the throws of divorce and needing to make all kinds of big decisions etc right now, then make sure to get the guidance, support and community you want and crave here in The Separation Club. I have opened up my calendar to three new one on one clients this month and the Rising Sisterhood group support membership is currently open for new members.

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 table looks different now. Maybe you’re navigating co-parenting, a smaller family, a quiet house, or too many invitations when you crave stillness. Wherever you find yourself this season, I want to remind you; you’re not alone in those feelings. This episode is for the hearts that hold both gratitude and grief and for the women who are learning that peace isn’t found in perfection, it’s found in presence and authenticity.

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 essential for healing, how shame dissolves in the presence of compassion, and what it truly means to be “held” by another soul. Also, we discuss the difference between fitting in and belonging and how circles of women, sisterhood and a shared truth heals us. If you’ve been craving connection in your healing, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and that belonging is part of your becoming. 🌙 Join us inside The Rising Sisterhood Circle (membership), where we gather weekly for live healing calls, conversation, and support. Next week’s call is all about Belonging and being witnessed in your healing. During this call we will share our truth and also tools for healing and creating belonging in our lives. 👉 Link to join is below.

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 happened… but we shift the perspective. And that shift can change everything. Today we chat about how these stories impact us and how we can rewrite them. And for a deeper dive into this work and more about where our stories come from check out the series I did on this starting with Episode 83 right here on A Blessing in Divorce.

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 isolation. They gathered. Around fires, at temples, in kitchens, in fields, under the moon - anywhere and everywhere. So today, I want to take you on a little journey into that lineage and remembering. Because when we remember where we come from, we can also remember how we’re meant to heal.

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 language for. We’re told the cure is to find our ‘other half,’ the one-in-eight-billion soulmate who will be lover, best friend, therapist, cheer squad, co-parent, healer, and cosmic twin flame all in one. But somewhere deep we know that story doesn’t fit. Maybe it never did. Let’s name the roots. Many of us were raised on princess movies where the happy ending arrives when the prince does. Religion, media, and even well-meaning relatives reinforced the script: find a good man and you’ll be safe, fulfilled, complete. So we hustled for that plotline, then life got real. Bills. Babies. Men who loved us but could not read our souls. Or men who left the minute our complexity felt too heavy. And if divorce came? The world told us we simply chose the ‘wrong’ prince. Swipe again and maybe the algorithm will do better. What no one says is that it isn’t him we’re missing. It’s the village we were meant to have, the circle we evolved to rely on. We were never designed to pour our entire emotional ocean into one single cup. So now what do we do? Join me in this episode as we discover new and beautiful options that would also work well with a potential new relationship.

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 heartbreak), Elisabeth opens the door to a deeper conversation around truth, worthiness, and radical self-honesty. If you’ve ever felt unseen, dismissed, or like your pain didn’t “count” unless someone else acknowledged it, this episode is for you. You’ll learn: Why we crave external validation (and how it’s not your fault) How the ego uses validation to protect us — but also sabotage us The subtle ways validation-seeking keeps us stuck in our healing journey What it means to self-validate and reclaim your inner authority Practices to start validating yourself every single day   LINKS MENTIONED AND MORE The brand new healing app is LIVE - download the Rising Sisterhood app today and take some positive steps for your healing starting now: https://www.theseparationclub.com/risingsisterhoodapp Take a bigger step towards healing and growth and join my 3 night / 4 day Lake House Retreat, June 12-15th.

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, bitterness, and disconnection What it’s costing you emotionally, spiritually, and energetically to carry hate A deeper look into the masculine wound and why many men are emotionally unavailable (without excusing the harm they cause) How you can heal with integrity, reclaim your power, and move forward without carrying hate in your heart You’ll leave this episode feeling seen, softened, and empowered to choose healing that truly sets you free. And I am excited to hear your thoughts about this episode.

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 joy you crave and watch everything else fall into place. If you’re ready to feel good again—to feel whole, vibrant, and deeply fulfilled—this episode is for you. Some of the highlights: Why self-love is the root of all manifestation.  Daily self-love rituals like mirror work, affirmations, loving-kindness meditation. And make sure to check out the brand new Rising Sisterhood App which includes meditations specifically created for self-love and healing. We are also rewriting the story of love Releasing the belief that love is limited or only comes from a partner. Manifesting from a place of wholeness vs. lack. And.. calling in a new and higher vibration With practices that raise your frequency Having healthy boundaries and sacred standards   Below are some ways you can start doing this deep work whether it is coaching with me one on one, journaling in The Joy Journal, booking a retreat and definitely downloading the new app. LINKS MENTIONED AND MORE The brand new healing app is LIVE - download the Rising Sisterhood app today and take some positive steps for your healing starting now: https://www.theseparationclub.com/risingsisterhoodapp Take a bigger step towards healing and growth and join my 3 night / 4 day Lake House Retreat, June 12-15th.

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 portal to the future and to allowing in wisdom and light instead of a door slamming shut. I talk about the valuable lessons divorce teaches us like; not negotiating with our self-worth, having strong and healthy boundaries with everyone in our lives and, taking steps to build resilience and strength within. I want you to know you don’t have to figure it out alone. The NEW Rising Sisterhood App offers tools, meditations, and a community to support your growth every step of the way. And for deeper healing, my coaching programs and retreats are designed to help you rise from the ashes into your most empowered self. I would be honoured to walk this journey with you.   LINKS MENTIONED AND MORE: The brand new healing app is LIVE - download the Rising Sisterhood app today and take some positive steps for your healing starting now: https://www.theseparationclub.com/risingsisterhoodapp Take a bigger step towards healing and growth and join my 3 night / 4 day Lake House Retreat, June 12-15th.

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 other post separation. This is my first time broaching this topic and I took it on the fly, so please bear with me. I know there is so much more to discuss here - and I will. This is one I would love to bring some experts in for or potentially have guests share their experiences.  Thank you for listening as always. It matters.

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 you are of love, kindness and a happy future. I would love to help you with this so make sure to check out the various ways we can work together below.

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 dictate your worth or your healing. Spiritual Liberation – trusting yourself and your inner wisdom above external validation. Sacred Boundaries – saying yes to what serves you and no to what diminishes you. Radical Self-Acceptance – releasing shame, guilt, and conditioning that tells you who you "should" be. **FREE MASTERCLASS INFORMATION BELOW   LINKS MENTIONED AND MORE   FREE MASTERCLASS: Sovereign YOU: Reclaim your power & rise  as we celebrate Women's Day/Month: https://www.theseparationclub.com/masterclass   Our first retreat at Oodles Resort in Spain promises to be oodles of fun - sorry - couldn’t resist.
