Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce
This isn’t a breakup pep talk. It’s a full-body recalibration.
Welcome to Dear Divorce Diary—the only podcast for women navigating the messy aftermath of divorce who are done with quick fixes and spiritual fluff.
I’m Dawn Wiggins, therapist and homeopath, and I’m here to give you something the divorce advice space rarely does: real healing.
Through somatic therapy, EMDR, IFS, and homeopathy, we go deeper—into your nervous system, your unspoken grief, and your buried rage.
Every week, we hold the tension: the body-based anxiety you can’t shake; the hormonal upheaval no one warned you about; the unresolved longing for identity.
You’ll hear raw solo episodes, real voice notes from women in the trenches, and intimate interviews with experts who do more than perform healing.
Here, you won’t be asked to “just move on.”
You’ll be asked to feel.
If you’re tired of tutorials that leave your nervous system humming and your heart disconnected, hit subscribe.
Your nervous system already knows the truth—it just wants a safe space to embody it.

Ep. 286 - A Holiday Loneliness Reset: A Nervous-System Ritual for Divorce Nights That Feel Too Quiet
If you pressed play on this tonight, it probably means the quiet hit differently.
Not the peaceful kind — the kind that presses against your ribs and makes your chest feel too small for your own heart.
The kind of quiet that shows up after divorce, when the world is flashing warm twinkle-light romance and happy-family commercials, and you're sitting in a room trying to remember how to breathe in your own life.
This episode is your place to land.
Inside this premium session, Dawn guides you through a gentle but powerful nervous-system practice designed for the exact kind of ache that shows up when the house gets still, the loneliness gets loud, and you feel like you're carrying your healing alone.
This is not about escaping the ache.
It's about not having to feel it alone.
You’ll be held through:
- A grounding somatic sequence to bring you out of the spiral and back into your body
- A breath pattern (“baking bread breaths”) that softens the panic response
- A three-point sensory reorientation technique for moments when you feel unmoored
- A nervous-system affirmation practice to remind your psyche that you are becoming, not breaking
- A guidance sequence from your future self — the woman who cannot be lost in someone else again
- A moment of truth-telling: loneliness is not your identity; it’s a moment passing through your body
- A closing ritual that helps you feel rooted, warm, and safe enough to stay with yourself
This episode is the kind you save.
For the nights when your chest feels like a raw nerve.
For the holidays, the empty rooms, the too-quiet evenings.
For anytime you need someone to meet you in the dark and sit with you until you feel like you again.
Come breathe with Dawn.
Come anchor back into the woman you’re rising into.
You’re here — and you’re not leaving you.
