There's a pattern that shows up across almost every stage of the divorce journey - in those questioning whether to stay or leave, those in the thick of it, and even those rebuilding on the other side.

It's a quiet, self-protective voice that whispers: what's the point?

In this episode, Sallyanne unpacks the psychology behind that voice:

  • why we sacrifice our own hopes and dreams rather than risk disappointment, and
  • what it actually costs us when we quit on ourselves before we even begin.

This one is for anyone who has ever let fear, apathy, or self-doubt talk them out of the life they know - on some level - is waiting for them.

In this episode:

  • Why "not trying" feels safe but still carries its own grief and loss
  • The role of ego and risk tolerance in keeping us stuck
  • How we globalise, personalise, and make fear bigger than it needs to be
  • Practical steps to break through the "why even bother" mindset
  • How taking one small action can start to shift everything
