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 for women navigating life after divorce. Dear Divorce Diary is a podcast for women dealing with grief, loneliness, anxiety, anxious or avoidant attachment, and identity loss after divorce — especially when quick fixes, positivity, and spiritual fluff no longer work.
I’m Dawn Wiggins, therapist, coach, and homeopath, and this show goes where most divorce advice won’t: into your nervous system, your unspoken grief, your buried rage, and the parts of you that shut down just to survive.
Through honest conversation, somatic tools, EMDR- and IFS-informed work, and nervous-system support, each episode helps you feel instead of perform healing — and rebuild safety, confidence, and self-trust from the inside out.
You’ll hear raw solo episodes, real voice notes from women in the trenches, and intimate conversations with experts who don’t just talk about healing — they embody it.
If you’re tired of being told to “move on” while your body is still bracing, this podcast is your place to land. Your nervous system already knows the truth — it just needs a space that can hold it.

Dear Divorce Diary: Dedicated to Healing
Exclusive access to premium content!Christmas after divorce can hit your body before your mind ever catches up.
You can know logically that other people’s celebrations have nothing to do with you—and still feel the ache, the comparison, the quiet grief in your chest when you wake up.
Today’s episode is different.
This is a short quantum healing track designed to help your nervous system release the emotional charge that gets activated when you imagine other families celebrating—and then turn back toward your own reality.
Quantum healing works by bringing awareness to how your body responds to emotional contrast, then gently clearing the stored stress response without forcing positivity or bypassing grief.
By the end of this track, many women notice:
– less heaviness in the chest
– a softening of comparison and loneliness
– a calmer, more grounded nervous system
– more space to meet Christmas Day as it actually is
No fixing.
No reframing.
Just relief.
Press play when you’re somewhere quiet and let your body do what it already knows how to do.

A podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.
Christmas divorce creates a heaviness in the body that you can't quite explain with words. But today's track uses quantum healing, not in a woo-woo way, but in a nervous system way to help your body release the emotional charge that's been coming up every time you imagine how he or other families are celebrating, and then turns you back to your own reality. Quantum healing works by bringing awareness to the contrast, living in your body, without forcing you to think differently or feeling grateful before you're ready. But by the end of this short track, we're aiming for less tightness, less comparison, and more internal steadiness. You don't have to understand it. You just have to let your body listen. 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.
SPEAKER_01:Take a couple of deep breaths. And now imagine for a moment all of the families and couples and people around you waking up on Christmas Day and celebrating together. And feel into the excitement and happiness and joy of sharing the day. And as you do this, just notice how this feels in your body. And now turn your attention to your own Christmas this year and how it will feel for you to wake on Christmas Day. And again feel into how that feels in your body. Okay, so now that we have brought everything to consciousness, we can begin to clear it. So just relax these thoughts from your mind and keep your eyes closed so that you can focus inwards. You may find that you have some physical sensations or some old memories coming up as your body releases all that it needs to release around this issue. So let's begin. So we're gonna just please treat the structure of all decision structures. And treat them one by one in the correct order. Follow each collage through to the memory structures and treat each of these and all associated traumas in the correct order. And repeat this for each collage for I am so alone, and then do a massive change history and everything else needed to please treat the picture memories, please treat the shame structures and then treat the longing in the large intestine. Again, keeping your eyes closed, on how it feels to be waking up on your Christmas morning this year. And just notice if that feels any differently in your body now. Notice where you're holding that in your body. We'll do another little round. And then when complete, do a massive change history and everything else needed. Check in again on how it feels to be waking up on your Christmas morning this year. And then check in on how it feels to think of other families and people and couples waking up on their Christmas morning and sharing it. And then check back in on your own Christmas morning. And hopefully that comparison between the two is less raw and more balanced now. I wish you all a beautiful Christmas.
