Episode 385
My Coach Dawn
You held it together at work. Handled the responsibilities. Gave everyone what they needed. Now you’re home—and you have nothing left for the woman who’s still hurting.
You want to feel better after divorce. But choosing another book, finding another practitioner, or figuring out which healing tool to use feels like another job. Can someone please just tell you what to do next?
In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn, Joy, and Coach Tiffini talk about the overwhelm and decision fatigue that can leave you stuck in divorce recovery—even when you understand your patterns and desperately want things to change.
Joy shares how she used to retell the same painful story to multiple groups of friends. Tiffini remembers being a young divorced mom who felt she didn’t belong anywhere—and pushing through to prove she was okay. Together, we explore what emotional support can look like when you’re exhausted, lonely, and unsure where to begin.
You’ll hear:
- Why knowing your patterns doesn’t always translate into doing something different when you’re triggered.
- How overwhelm, attachment wounds, and pressure to appear “fine” can make asking for help difficult.
- What support between therapy appointments can look like.
- A simple path into Cocoon, including how to connect with Coach Tiffini without having to explain your whole life.
- How VIP guided practices and monthly workshops can help you begin using the tools you’ve been learning about.
Your next step can be one message: “I don’t know where to start.”
