Is staying the safe choice - or the one that slowly erodes your soul?

In this deeply honest and compassionate conversation, I sit down with Sallyanne Hartnell - divorce coach, strategist, and host of the Reflect, Reclaim, and Liberate podcast - for a heart-opening exploration of what it really means to leave a relationship with grace.

Together, we unpack the emotional complexity of deciding whether to stay or go, especially when there are children involved, long histories, and deep-rooted patterns at play.

Sallyanne shares her personal story of uncoupling and how it became the catalyst for a complete reclamation of self -offering powerful insights for anyone standing at the threshold of this life-defining decision.

We explore:

• How to anchor into your future self when you're overwhelmed by the now

• Nervous system tools to regulate before reacting (including cold therapy!)

• The silent power of not engaging with your ex’s chaos

• Why your kids don’t need a perfect family b- they need a grounded parent

• And how to begin again, this time centered in your self-worth

This episode is for anyone who’s been circling the question: “Is this relationship still serving who I’m becoming?”

Whether you’re actively separating, reflecting on your role in a past relationship, or simply longing for more peace and clarity, Sallyanne’s wisdom will meet you right where you are.

“Divorce doesn't make us failures... sometimes leaving is the strongest, the strongest, hardest thing that you can do.” – Sallyanne Hartnell
