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.

You're not broken, you're rebuilding. You're not behind, you're exactly where you need to be. And your restart story is going to be incredible.

HO'OPONOPONO PRAYER: HAWAIIAN PRACTICE OF FORGIVENESS AND HEALING
Are you carrying guilt, bitterness, or resentment after your divorce?
There's a simple four-phrase prayer that has the power to completely transform your healing journey. It's called Ho'oponopono — an ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and reconciliation.
And if you're stuck in anger toward your ex, drowning in guilt about your kids, or punishing yourself for past mistakes, this prayer is for you.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✨ The four powerful phrases of Ho'oponopono — and why they work to release what you've been carrying
✨ Exact scripts for using this prayer to forgive your ex, yourself, and release guilt about your kids
✨ Why you can't manifest a better life from a bitter mind — and how forgiveness raises your vibration
✨ The biblical foundation for this practice — and how it aligns with what God says about forgiveness
✨ My personal 21-day Ho'oponopono journey — and the testimony I'll be sharing with you soon
This episode is for you if:
- You're holding onto bitterness toward your ex
- You feel crushing guilt about your divorce or your kids
- You blame yourself for everything that went wrong
- You know you need to forgive but don't know how
- You're ready to release what's blocking your blessings
What you'll walk away with:
You'll have a practical, powerful tool you can use every single day to release guilt, bitterness, and pain. Forgiveness doesn't mean what they did was okay — it means you're choosing freedom over bitterness. And that's the bravest thing you can do.
The Four Phrases: I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
