What if one of the most powerful tools for healing after divorce wasn't therapy o or journaling or another self-help book?

What if it was play?

In this episode I'm talking about something that disappears almost immediately when divorce hits — and why getting it back is not optional if you're serious about rebuilding your life.

Play is not frivolous. It is not something you earn. It is not something that has to wait until you're on the other side of this.

It is medicine.

We cover why everything gets serious after divorce and what that seriousness is quietly costing you. The science behind what play actually does to your brain and body during the hardest seasons of life — including how it reduces stress hormones, releases endorphins, and wakes up the part of your brain responsible for imagining your future. Why the number one reason women stop playing after divorce isn't time or money. And why play is not just fun — it's generative. It's where your new life starts to take shape.

Plus I'm sharing the story of the best night I've had in years. And why it happened at a high school prom at age 54.

Healing after divorce doesn't always look the way you think it does.

Sometimes it looks like getting on a pedestal and letting a camera spin around you while you laugh your head off.
