349. Why You've Done So Much Healing... But Still Feel Stuck in the Same Divorce Patterns
Jun 02, 2026 Season 5 Episode 349
My Coach Dawn

You've read the books.

You've listened to the podcasts.

You've been to therapy.

You know your attachment style, your triggers, your patterns, and exactly why you do what you do.

So why do you still find yourself reacting the same way?

Why do you still answer the text?

Why do you still overthink the conversation?

Why do you still tolerate things you know aren't good for you?

In this episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiffini explore one of the most frustrating parts of divorce recovery: the gap between understanding yourself and actually changing your life.

Together, they unpack:

  •  Why insight alone doesn't create lasting change 
  •  The difference between consuming healing and practicing healing 
  •  How self-awareness can become another form of avoidance 
  •  Why knowing your patterns isn't the same as changing them 
  •  The role vulnerability, action, and community play in true healing 
  •  What keeps women standing on the sidelines of their own lives 
  •  Why healing often requires more than information 
  •  The hidden difference between feeling better and living differently 

If you've ever found yourself thinking:

"I've done so much work... so why am I still struggling with this?"

This episode is for you.

Because healing isn't measured by how much you know.

It's measured by what you're finally willing to do differently.
