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.

Ep. 310 - Divorce Anxiety & Overwhelm: A Guided Reset for Letting Go Without Falling Apart
If you’ve been holding yourself together because it feels like the only way to stay functional, this guided reset is for you.
Divorce anxiety and overwhelm don’t come from weakness or lack of coping skills....they come from carrying too much responsibility for too long (often without enough support).
This Thursday, Premium Healing Tool offers a gentle, body-based reset designed to help you release internal pressure without forcing calm, bypassing fear, or risking emotional collapse.
You won’t be asked to relax.
You won’t be asked to stop worrying.
And nothing needs to be “fixed.”
Instead, you’ll be guided through a slow, contained experience that helps your body learn something new:
What it feels like to let go a little without falling apart.
In this episode, you’ll be supported to:
- Stay with anxiety without fighting it or trying to push it away
- Work with overwhelm in a paced, grounded way that respects your nervous system
- Use a simple butterfly tap to reduce bracing and internal tension
- Explore—without pressure—what your system believes would happen if you stopped holding everything together
- Experience relief while staying intact, present, and in control of your own pace
This is not about calming down or making anxiety disappear.
It’s about helping your body recognize that you are SAFE TO HEAL.
Even a few minutes of this kind of contact can soften the grip of overwhelm and change how much your system believes it has to carry.
You can return to this reset anytime anxiety spikes, responsibility feels heavy, or rest feels unsafe.
Nothing needs to resolve.
Nothing needs to be perfect.
Staying with yourself is the work.
We’re with you.

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 DORSA. Join me for a fresh approach to healing grief and building your confidence after divorce. Now, from a place of curiosity, not pressure, this is how we unwind this sense of feeling unsafe or in danger all the time. We own the process of curiosity. What are you afraid of would happen if you stopped? Check with that part of you that feels anxious. What is she afraid would happen if she stopped? And just notice what she shares with you. It may be words or images, it may be nothing at all. There's not a right or a wrong answer here. Just notice the tone of the fear. Just notice the weight of responsibility this part of you has been carrying. Finding your breath, that gentle tapping, and just acknowledge to this part of you. Let's do it together. You can access the full episode by becoming a premium subscriber, which is just$5 a month.
