What happens when a relationship ends and you’re left trying to figure out who you are again?

In this episode, Samantha sits down with Amanda Warlick, a certified divorce coach, to talk about the reality of life after a relationship ends. While divorce is often talked about in terms of legal steps and logistics, this conversation focuses on the emotional, mental, and physical impact—and what it takes to rebuild from there.

Amanda shares her perspective on why divorce is considered one of the most stressful life events, and how it affects your identity, your nervous system, and your sense of normalcy. Together, they explore what it means to feel “untethered,” how to create stability again, and why taking time to heal matters more than rushing into what’s next.

This episode covers:
 • The emotional and physical impact of divorce
 • Identity loss and rediscovery
 • The importance of creating a safe environment
 • Setting boundaries during difficult transitions
 • How to handle outside opinions and protect your peace
 • Why healing yourself first changes everything

Whether you’re going through a divorce, navigating a breakup, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective on what it takes to move forward.
