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. 288 - Calming Public Grief After Divorce: A Quick Nervous-System Reset (Grocery Store or Family Bathroom Edition)
Sometimes panic doesn’t wait for privacy.
It hits in the grocery store aisle, the Target parking lot, or right between the pasta sauce and the paper towels — the places where your body finally says, “No. I can’t hold this alone anymore.”
This premium episode is your real-time grounding track for those moments.
A full nervous-system reset you can use while you’re actively panicking — not later, not in hindsight, but right there, in public, while your heart is racing and your manager parts are trying to keep it all together.
Inside, Dawn guides you through:
- A My Body Said No moment — how to recognize it and respond without shame
- A sensory grounding ritual you can use anywhere (yes, even aisle 7)
- Gentle IFS language for your Manager, Firefighter, and Exile parts
- A somatic breath pattern (“baking bread + blowing on soup”) that brings your body back online
- A quiet reconnection to the truth: you belong to yourself, even while you’re not okay
This is your pocket guide for public panic — steadying, human, and deeply regulating.
Come back to it anytime your nervous system needs someone to sit with you and help you breathe again.

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, Don Wiggins, a therapist, coach, integrative healer, and divorcee. Join me for a fresh approach to healing grief and building your confidence after divorce. I know your manager part, the one that tries to stay composed, scanning for what to fix. It's she's doing her job right now. I want you to notice how hard she's working in this moment. I want you to take a breath and allow her to not hold it all together in this moment. I want you to take a breath and give her permission for it to be a little extra messy right now. In this grocery store aisle, in this target parking lot. Let your shoulders drop and let that manager part take one deep breath with you. Give her permission to be the tiniest bit human. Allow her to feel seen and understood for how tired she is of having to manage it all the time. You can access the full episode by becoming a premium subscriber, which is just$5 a month.
