What does it actually take to become yourself again after divorce?

Today, Dawn is away—which means Joy and Coach Tiffini have been left unsupervised. And they invited three women from the current A Different D Word cohort to take over the mic with them.

Christianna, Kelly, and Jo came into this year in very different places.

One was in free fall after the end of a 30-year marriage. One was already in therapy but felt like she spent every session catching her therapist up instead of actually moving forward. One says she felt like she was physically dying—her hair was falling out, she couldn't sleep, and she'd lost 60 pounds.

Nearly a year later, they sat down together to talk about what happened in between.

The fear of joining. The money. The resistance to needing other women. The hard work they didn't see coming. The boundaries they learned to set. The relationships that changed. The retreat moments they'll never forget. And the strange, beautiful experience of realizing that somewhere along the way, they had actually started to feel like themselves again.

This isn't a polished before-and-after story.

It's three women telling the truth about what a year of intentional healing really asked of them—and what became possible when they said yes.

And if you're somewhere near the beginning of your own divorce, wondering who you'll be a year from now, you need to hear what they have to say.

Because as one of these women puts it: the next 12 months are going to pass either way.

The question is who you might meet on the other side.
