In this episode of Divorce Happens, Olivia sits down with Robyn Gaillard, a mind-body connection wellness educator and clinician, to talk about what it really means to survive divorce when it’s not just a legal process, but a full-body, full-spirit earthquake. Together, they unpack the legal challenges of going back to court, the heartbreak of being misunderstood by the system, and the quiet terror of wondering if you’ll ever feel truly safe and steady again.

Drawing on her own history of illness, divorce, and profound healing, Robyn shares how she learned to become her own lighthouse in the storm—how her body literally started to break down under chronic stress, and how understanding the mind-body connection, circadian biology, and emotional baselines helped her heal without traditional medical interventions. She explains how our nervous system, sleep patterns, and everyday choices are constantly communicating with us, showing us where our emotional “thermostat” is set, and how that affects our emotional health, energy, and resilience during divorce. Through powerful metaphors, client stories, and her own lived experience, Robyn offers a radically compassionate framework for seeing divorce not as a personal failure, but as a season of life where your inner light is tested, not extinguished.

Listeners will walk away with concrete, doable practices for divorce recovery—from tiny daily actions that support the nervous system, to mindfulness tools that help you reset your emotional baseline, to questions you can ask yourself when the legal process feels dehumanizing and overwhelming. Robyn and Olivia talk openly about the financial and legal challenges of finding the right representation, the importance of strategic support from professionals, and how to keep advocating for yourself even when the system feels rigged. Most of all, this episode offers hope: a reminder that your inner light is still there, even if it’s dim, and that you can rebuild a life grounded in healing, wellness, support, personal growth, and resilience on the other side of divorce.
