The Crazy Ex-Wives Divorce Club

The holidays after divorce don’t just feel different.They hit deeper, harder, and in ways no one prepares you for.In this solo episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica breaks down the emotional reality of surviving the holidays after divorce, especially when you’re navigating grief, comparison, loneliness, co-parenting transitions, or your first holiday without your kids.This episode goes beyond surface-level advice and gets to the truth about why the holidays amplify emotional pain after divorce, even years later. You’ll learn why healing isn’t linear, why you’re not behind, and why feeling unsettled, emotional, or exhausted during the holidays is not a sign of failure, but a sign of deep transition.Erica explores the unspoken parts of post-divorce life, the quiet moments when the house is empty, the pressure to create “magic,” the comparison to intact families, the financial stress, and the internal voice that says you should be over this by now.If you’re asking yourself why the holidays after divorce feel heavier than expected, why emotions resurface when you thought you were doing fine, or why peace feels just out of reach this season, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening and how to move through it without abandoning yourself.This is a permission slip to stop rushing your healing, stop judging your timeline, and find peace inside the season you’re actually in.You’ll learn:Why the holidays are so emotionally hard after divorceThe hidden reason grief resurfaces during holidays, even years laterWhy healing after divorce is cyclical, not linearHow comparison and money anxiety intensify holiday stressWhat no one warns you about the first holidays without your kidsHow to navigate loneliness without letting it define youWhy you’re not failing, falling behind, or doing this wrongHow to create emotional safety during the holidays after divorceWhy mindset shifts change emotions faster than changing circumstancesHow to find peace when everything feels differentWe talk about:00:00 Intro03:42 Navigating Holiday Comparisons08:18 Embracing Alone Moments14:38 Balancing Grief and Joy24:23 Reflecting on Wins and Growth28:15 Looking Ahead to the New Year30:25 Final Thoughts and EncouragementThe Emotional Ladder DownloadWant the Emotional Ladder I talked about in this episode?

Why does your body feel completely different after divorce or prolonged stress, even when doctors say “everything looks normal”?In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica is joined by Gigi Hunt, a hormone and nervous system mentor for high-achieving women, for an honest, science-backed conversation about hormone imbalance, nervous system regulation, and cortisol overload during divorce, dating after divorce, burnout, and chronic emotional stress.Together, they unpack why so many women are dismissed with “it’s just hormones” or prematurely labeled as perimenopausal or hormonally imbalanced, when the real issue is often nervous system dysregulation driving sleep issues, anxiety, rage, digestive problems, and cycle changes.This episode explores how women’s bodies respond to long-term stress differently than men’s, why emotional volatility after divorce is not a personal failure, and how nervous system regulation, hormone support, and small, consistent practices can restore balance over time.If you’ve struggled with sleep issues, emotional overwhelm, digestive problems, cycle changes, or recurring relationship conflict after divorce, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a grounded path forward.You’ll learn:Why women operate on a 28-day hormonal cycle, not a 24-hour oneHow divorce and chronic stress disrupt hormone balanceThe nervous system’s role as the “conductor” of hormonesWhy cortisol hijacks progesterone and fuels anxiety, rage, and insomniaHow chronic stress and cortisol can mimic perimenopause symptoms at any ageWhy birth control disconnects women from their cyclical awarenessLuteal rage, recurring fights, and emotional pattern recognitionHow nervous system regulation supports hormone healthWhy micro-adjustments work better than major lifestyle overhaulsWe talk about:00:00 Intro01:00 Why women are blamed for emotional chaos03:00 Hormones, emotions, and cultural conditioning06:00 Birth control and loss of cycle awareness10:00 The four phases of the menstrual cycle15:00 Divorce, stress, and hormonal disruption18:00 Cortisol vs progesterone explained22:00 The nervous system as hormonal conductor26:00 Luteal rage and recurring relationship patterns30:00 Nervous system regulation and emotional safety36:00 Seed cycling and hormone support40:00 Perimenopause myths and misdiagnosis45:00 Rebuilding trust in your bodyHoliday Heart to Heart  The holidays post-divorce are brutal because you are trying to "make it magical" when life feels anything but. You need a plan for the emotional spikes without spiraling, throwing in the towel or just crawling back into bed until this season is over.Get quick, divorce specific episodes for mom's trying to bring the magic back post-divorce.
