Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce
We are on a journey to get into the nitty gritty of divorce recovery and reveal why your divorce healing journey is still not working for you–even after you’ve tried therapy and read all the books.
Let's transform your pain into strength and take charge of your own narrative. Now’s the time we reclaim your healing journey–and why exactly we struggle to not only heal from past traumas but move beyond them to the ultimate goal: inner peace. That is real self-empowerment, and this is Dear Divorce Diary.
I’m Dawn Wiggins, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR specialist. I draw on decades of experience to help women navigate the emotional rollercoaster after ending a marriage. Using a little bit of science, a few alternative remedies and emotional release techniques, a whole lot of love, and zero BS, we step out of the victim mindset and into building a new life after divorce.
We emphasize nuance because overcoming challenges after divorce means questioning everything that got us here and using your divorce as a springboard to a better, more resilient (and certainly happier!) you.
On Tuesday, we have our listener segment called: "Getting Unstuck," where we anonymously unpack a difficult situation a listener is going through in their divorce healing journey.
And, on Thursday, we explore a "Hidden Healing Gem," which is a healing product or process we've tried and tested personally and/or professionally and are sharing our results and observations with you!
We cover essential life after divorce topics like grief, anxiety, codependency, loneliness, boundaries, nervous system health, attachment styles, the Law of Attraction, and homeopathy.
Join us twice a week as we go beyond talk therapy to process your grief, find the healing you crave, and rebuild your confidence.

In today's episode we dive deep into why women fresh out of divorce struggle to choose what supports their healing, even when they know what to do.
We're going to unpack the sneaky emotional loops that make short-term relief like numbing, people-pleasing, getting into a fight with your ex feel safer than long-term healing, and how your nervous system is often still in survival mode, prioritizing comfort over growth.
We're also going to talk about why you're more afraid of being rejected by others than you are aware of how often you're rejecting yourself. This episode isn't about shaming yourself for not doing enough. It's about understanding why it feels so hard and what to do differently.
I'm going to give you a very specific calendar task plus a three-question prompt to guide you in that exact moment when you feel the urge to avoid the thing you know would help you heal. You can access the full episode by becoming a premium subscriber, which is just $5 a month.

Hi love. Welcome to Dear Divorce Diary, the podcast helping divorcees go beyond talk therapy to process your grief, find the healing you crave and build back your confidence. I'm your host, dawn Wiggins, a therapist, coach, integrative healer and divorcee. Join me for a fresh approach to healing grief and building your confidence after divorce. You are a woman who already knows what's good for you and, if not in every way, you're learning it and you're invested in learning it. But knowing and choosing are two different beasts. Maybe it's the yoga class you keep skipping the boundary you avoid setting, or the journal collecting dust they call that shelf esteem, lol. Maybe you say I'll do it tomorrow or I don't have the energy. But what if the real reason you're not choosing what's healthy isn't laziness or a lack of willpower, but it's hidden grief, maybe with a side of shame?
