Ever sworn you wouldn’t check his Instagram at 1 a.m. … and still did? Or did you tell yourself, “just one glass,” and finish the bottle? That loop isn’t just bad habits—it’s codependency as addiction.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, dawn, Producer Joy, and Coach Tiffini unpack how post-divorce codependency functions like a hidden addiction—hooking you on approval, fixing, and being chosen. We’ll explore:

✨ Why shame (not loneliness) is the engine that keeps you stuck
 ✨ The breadcrumb → boundary cycle every divorced woman knows too well
 ✨ How “good girl” conditioning rewires your nervous system for addiction
 ✨ Practical ways to interrupt the dopamine-drama loop

You don’t need another glass, another scroll, or another half-love. You need a nervous system that feels safe—and that’s what we help women build every day.

When you’re in crisis, your nervous system isn’t neutral—it’s running survival programs. Fight, flight, freeze, repeat. And when you tell yourself “not now”, that’s not laziness or failure—it’s a protective pattern your body believes is keeping you safe.

But here’s the thing: survival mode isn’t meant to be permanent. It quietly drains your energy, feeds old beliefs like “I can’t do this,” and keeps you circling the same pain.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we explore:

✨ Why the nervous system convinces us to wait until things feel calmer before healing
 ✨ How beliefs like “not now” or “what if it doesn’t work” keep you locked in survival loops
✨ The energetic cost of staying in crisis—and what shifts when you allow safety to be restored
✨ What happens in the very first month of our program that helps women feel grounded, resourced, and ready for lasting change

Healing isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about creating safety, updating beliefs, and letting your body remember how to release what it’s been carrying.

Trust and money go hand in hand after divorce—yet both feel broken. When the person who swore forever betrayed you, even opening your wallet can feel unsafe.

You’ll Learn

• Why money feels emotionally risky after betrayal.
• How your nervous system links financial fear to past trust wounds.
• The first step to rebuilding safety with money in your body—not just your bank account.

💎 Want money to feel safe again? Join A Different D Word
and build nervous-system safety alongside financial confidence.

When trust is broken in marriage, it doesn’t just live in your memories—it shows up in how you relate to money. Bills, budgets, even dreams of independence can trigger the same body-wide fear you felt in betrayal. 

In this episode, I share how to understand the trust-money connection, and what your nervous system needs to feel grounded again. When money feels safe, you stop shrinking and start creating a future you actually trust.

Money after divorce doesn’t have to feel unsafe—healing starts in your nervous system.

Would you ever confess to sleeping with your ex’s best friend before your divorce was finalized—or would you keep that secret buried forever?

Divorce is messy enough, but what happens when real human needs for comfort, connection, and validation push us toward choices we never pictured ourselves making? 

If you’ve ever worried that your own healing process might be "too messy" or that your search for pleasure and being seen makes you less deserving of compassion, you’re not alone. This episode dives deep into the shame, loneliness, and judgment women so often face after divorce, especially when it comes to reclaiming their pleasure and self-worth in ways society doesn’t always approve of.

In this honest, no-holds-barred listen, you’ll discover:

• How moments of vulnerability—like sleeping with someone unexpected—are often more about healing loneliness and feeling truly seen than about reckless decisions.
• Why women are judged so harshly for seeking pleasure or comfort, and the layers of jealousy, insecurity, and societal expectation at play.
• Real stories and confessions from women who have stood in their truths, moved through shame, and learned to embrace every complex, imperfect part of their journey.

Have you ever heard your child use your ex’s hurtful words—and felt a wave of dread because it sounds just like them all over again?

As a divorced parent, nothing stings quite like realizing your child is picking up the same language, tones, or behaviors that once caused you pain.

Navigating the fallout from divorce can leave you carrying old wounds—like loneliness, abandonment, or a sense of being unheard. What if you could actually meet those hurting parts of yourself with compassion, rather than pushing them away or just “powering through”?

You'll learn to reconnect with your body and breath as an anchor for healing, develop self-compassion as you sit with the parts of you carrying pain, and discover practical ways to release emotional burdens so you can reclaim a sense of belonging and wholeness.

Ever wonder why people-pleasing feels so impossible to break—and what it would take to finally let yourself be seen and heard?

If you’re stuck in cycles of making yourself small to keep the peace—whether at work, with your ex, or even around your kids—this episode is for you. We were taught early on that our value depended on how well we cared for everyone else, and those old stories keep running the show long after childhood. 

Producer Joy gets real about the roots of her own people-pleasing patterns, and Coach Tiffini walks her through a powerful IFS (Internal Family Systems) session—live and unscripted—that helps link past experiences, somatic sensations, and the beliefs still holding you hostage.

By tuning in, you’ll discover how to recognize the exact moment your people-pleaser takes over, what it means to use somatic tools and EMDR to free yourself from old memory loops, and why integrating body-focused healing (not just talk therapy!) can rewire your responses for good. 

You’ll walk away with compassion for your old survival strategies, real-life techniques to set boundaries and speak up, and brand-new ways to actually embody your authentic self instead of just talking about it.

Ready to experience your own breakthrough? Press play now to witness this transformative session—and start giving your inner child permission to run wild.

Why does it feel so impossible to let go, even when you know your relationship is built on broken promises and “almosts”?

If you find yourself stuck replaying old messages, hoping for another sign, or endlessly waiting for your ex to finally change, you’re not alone—so many of us are trapped in the addictive cycle of “maybe,” clinging to hope rather than facing the deep fear of being alone.

Listen in to discover why your brain keeps chasing breadcrumbs of hope, how your nervous system gets hooked on the cycle of waiting and disappointment, and why holding on to fantasy actually blocks you from future happiness.

Become a premium subscriber to finally understand and break free from the addiction of “almost,” and find the peace and self-worth you deserve.

Have you ever caught yourself chasing after someone who keeps pulling away, or saying “yes” when every fiber of your being wants to say “no,” just to keep the peace?

If you’re tired of putting everyone else first because deep down you’re scared of being left behind—especially during or after a divorce—you’re not alone. 

That habit of self-abandonment isn’t a personal flaw. It’s a survival strategy wired deep into your nervous system, often from early family dynamics, and it can keep you trapped in cycles of unhappiness and disconnection long after the breakup is final.

In this episode, you’ll discover why your nervous system clings to unhealthy patterns even when it hurts, how to finally unburden those old abandonment wounds using Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and homeopathy, and practical steps for dating again without losing yourself or repeating the same mistakes.

Listen now to learn how to break the cycle and finally choose yourself—because you deserve a deep, lasting connection that starts from within.

In today's episode we dive deep into why women fresh out of divorce struggle to choose what supports their healing, even when they know what to do. 

We're going to unpack the sneaky emotional loops that make short-term relief like numbing, people-pleasing, getting into a fight with your ex feel safer than long-term healing, and how your nervous system is often still in survival mode, prioritizing comfort over growth. 

We're also going to talk about why you're more afraid of being rejected by others than you are aware of how often you're rejecting yourself. This episode isn't about shaming yourself for not doing enough. It's about understanding why it feels so hard and what to do differently.

I'm going to give you a very specific calendar task plus a three-question prompt to guide you in that exact moment when you feel the urge to avoid the thing you know would help you heal. You can access the full episode by becoming a premium subscriber, which is just $5 a month.
