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. 318 - Divorce Unfairness: The Lie We Tell Ourselves That Keeps Us Stuck & Resentful (Premium Panel Rant)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is us. Moms who’ve lived it — sitting together having a real, unfiltered conversation about the one thing that keeps so many of us stuck: the feeling that it’s all so damn unfair.
We talked about the hard parts of co-parenting after divorce — the uneven load, the chronic illness with no support, the special-needs kids mostly on one parent’s shoulders, the guilt, the waiting for him to step up or see what he lost, the resentment that still flares even when we think we’ve done the work.
We named it all.
Then we went deeper.
We explored how that loud “it’s so unfair” story is often rooted in something quieter: an old belief that we’re not quite worthy, not quite enough, not safe unless someone else makes it right. We talked about the moment we realized we chose these men (the signs were there), how guilt can quietly turn us into over-functioning parents, and why acceptance doesn’t have to feel like giving up.
We also got honest about what finally started to move the needle for us: looking at the resentment in the body (especially the liver), using gentle homeopathic support to help clear what talk therapy alone sometimes can’t touch, and doing the slow work of reclaiming our own worth instead of waiting for fairness from the outside.
There were a few mic-drop moments. There was laughter. There were tears. And there was a lot of “oh… that’s why it’s been so hard to let go.”
If you’re tired of carrying the unfairness like a quiet weight in your chest every time you co-parent, this conversation might be the one that helps you see it differently — and finally feel some space around it.

SPEAKER_00Hi, 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. This is the thesis of what we're saying here, right? Is that this entire belief about how freaking unfair it all is, right? How unfair my childhood was, how unfair my the ending of my marriage was, how unfair even how my freaking wedding weeks leading up to and wedding day went, like how unfair it all felt, is all grounded in a deep sense of insecurity and unworthiness. And that's why shit feels unfair because we feel so unable, so unworthy, so small, so helpless, hopeless. It's so weird to walk around the world and know and hear people's pain, like whether it's their relationship pain or like their children's illness stories, or like so-and-so has cancer, or this one is that, and like to know that homeopathy can heal all of it, and people can't can't receive that solution. It's like it's one of the weirdest. This is a different panel rant for a different day. So weird to know that there's a solution for all of your pain, and you might not be able to hear it, probably can't hear it. It's reminds me often of there's a verse, and maybe Joy knows where it is, but there's a verse in the Bible that talks about it's easier for a camel to go through an eye of the of a needle than it is for a wealthy man to go through the gates of heaven. And like, whatever about what that's about. But I think it really is about being a vibrational match for the solution or choosing alignment. It's it's not common. It's we often choose denial and avoidance and addictive like behaviors over the truth. And homeopathy can heal your life, man. I mean, amongst other things, it's not any one thing. Like that's I'm not trying to celebrate one thing. Yeah, yeah. It's a beautiful integrated way. Yeah, we don't we don't recommend one without the other around here, but it's the missing piece, I think, for most people.
