The Restart Academy Podcast: Your Safe Space for the Real Conversations About Divorce Recovery
This podcast is for divorced women who are rebuilding their lives after devastating divorces. If you've been searching for a place where you can finally have the real conversations - the controversial ones, the embarrassing questions, the messy truths about what it's actually like to heal and rebuild after your marriage ends - you've found your safe space.
Hosted by Temi Samuel, a wellness coach who went through her own devastating divorce over a decade ago, The Restart Academy Podcast tackles the topics others won't touch. This isn't your typical "everything happens for a reason" divorce advice. This is honest, unfiltered truth about what divorce recovery actually looks like.
What makes this podcast different: We don't do toxic positivity or surface-level advice. We dive deep into the controversial conversations - why you might feel relief after divorce, why "taking the high road" is often toxic advice, why some women never fully recover, and all those thoughts you've had but felt too ashamed to say out loud.
Perfect for divorced women who:
- Feel isolated in their divorce experience and crave real conversation
- Are tired of advice that doesn't address what they actually went through
- Need permission to feel ALL their emotions without judgment
- Want practical guidance from someone who truly understands their journey
- Are ready to stop just surviving and start thriving in their restart
Whether you're newly divorced, years into healing, or somewhere in between, Temi creates a judgment-free zone where you can drop the mask and process your real experience. Each episode gives you permission to be human, to have complex feelings, and to prioritize your own healing journey.

THE MOM GUILT LOOP! WHY YOU CANT STOP FEELING LIKE YOU FAILED YOUR KIDS
The guilt is crushing. Every time you look at your kids, a voice whispers: "You ruined their lives." You're exhausted from trying to be everything, do everything, make up for what you think you took from them. But what if the story you're telling yourself isn't true?
In this episode, we're tackling the heaviest weight divorced moms carry: the guilt that keeps you up at 3 AM, makes you cry in the shower, and whispers "bad mother" every time your child mentions missing their dad.
I'm introducing you to the Law of Assumption and showing you how your belief that you failed your kids is actually creating the reality you fear most. You'll learn why your children are more resilient than you think, how to stop over-functioning to compensate for your ex's shortcomings, and the powerful shift that will help you finally release the guilt loop.
In This Episode:
- Why mom guilt after divorce isn't based on truth—it's based on assumption
- How your guilt is actually affecting your kids more than the divorce itself
- The reframe that transforms divorce from something you did TO them into something you did FOR them
- A 5-step process to break the guilt loop and start assuming you're enough
- My personal story of nearly destroying myself with guilt—and how I finally let it go
If you're ready to stop carrying guilt that isn't yours and start being the present, imperfful mother your kids actually need, this episode is for you.
