Ep 22 Rewiring After Divorce: Nervous Systems, Boundaries, and Conscious Co-Parenting with Delma Castaneda
In Episode 22 of Rewired: Neuroscience Meets Real-Life Change, Tiffany Grimes speaks with Delma Castaneda, post-divorce and co-parenting coach and Empower Coaching & Training faculty, about what it really takes to heal, rewire, and lead yourself after divorce.
Divorce doesn’t just change your relationships — it reshapes your nervous system. Delma offers a compassionate, brain-based lens on why separation can leave people feeling hyper-vigilant, emotionally flooded, numb, or stuck in old relational patterns — and why those patterns so often show up in co-parenting.
Rather than viewing co-parenting as purely logistical, Delma invites listeners to see it as a nervous-system relationship, where self-regulation, clarity, and boundaries are just as important as schedules and agreements. Throughout the conversation, she shares practical, grounded tools to help you pause, regulate, and respond intentionally — even when triggered.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What’s happening in your brain and nervous system during and after divorce
- Why identity, safety, and trust can feel so shaken — even when divorce is the right choice
- How to move from reactive to regulated co-parenting
- Simple, brain-smart practices to create space between trigger and response
- The difference between healthy boundaries and emotional walls
- How one parent’s healing directly supports children’s emotional and nervous-system wellbeing
Whether you’re navigating divorce, co-parenting, or supporting others through these experiences, this episode offers insight, empathy, and real tools for meaningful change.
🎧 Listen in to learn how to lead yourself — even in the most emotionally complex relationships.
