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.

306. Day 12: A New Year Blessing for the Part of You That’s So Tired Of Divorce
This is not a lesson about divorce healing.
It’s not advice.
It’s a pause.
Day 12 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas is simply a blessing—offered to you exactly as you are.
If these last 12 days stirred grief, relief, exhaustion, hope, or something you can’t quite name, this episode is here to hold that with you.
No fixing.
No reframing.
No pushing forward.
Just a few quiet moments of being witnessed.
You’ve been strong longer than you should have had to be.
You’ve carried more than most people ever saw.
And nothing about what you needed was wrong.
As we step into a new year, this is our prayer for you:
That you feel chosen.
That you feel wanted.
That your nervous system learns what safety feels like again.
And that you remember—you were never meant to do this alone.
Let yourself rest here. Sending all our love,
Dawn, Joy & Tiffini

Hi, love. Welcome to day twelve of the twelve days of divorced Christmas or the twelve days of becoming her. As we wrap up these twelve days with you, we just want to leave you with a blessing. We just want to leave you with a super nurturing, maternal, grounding witnessing of you and what you just moved through these last 12 days. We love you so much. Just enjoy this next beat. 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. Hi, love. Sit with us for a minute. Let us just hold this moment with you. You've been so strong, even when you didn't want to be, even when you felt like you couldn't. And we just want to tell you, you did beautifully. You don't have to pretend right now. You don't have to be brave. Just breathe.
SPEAKER_00:We've got you. Oh, sweet friend, you have carried so much in that tender heart of yours. Come, rest for a second. Let the world be quiet. Nothing you have felt was wrong. Nothing you needed was too much. You were allowed to be tired. You are allowed to want comfort. You are allowed to need people. I'm right here. I am going nowhere.
SPEAKER_01:Hi, gorgeous. I see the ache you try to hide. Look at me for a second. You don't have to carry that alone anymore. You're not difficult. You're not dramatic. You are not too much. You've just been hurting. And anyone who loves you would understand that. Let yourself lean a little. Let yourself knead a little. We've got you now. Okay?
SPEAKER_02:One more breath with us, love. Here is our prayer for you as we step into a new year. May you feel chosen. May you feel wanted. May you feel safe in the deepest parts of yourself. And may you walk forward knowing you never have to do any of this alone again. We love you. Rest now. You are held. You can find more at mycoachdawn.
