THE RE:STARTACADEMY
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 RELIEF YOU FEEL AFTER DIVORCE (AND WHY YOU SHOULDNT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT ITt)
Let's talk about the thing nobody admits out loud: sometimes divorce feels like relief, not tragedy. And then the guilt comes crashing in.
In this episode, we're diving into one of the most confusing emotions after divorce—that unexpected lightness you feel when you realize you don't have to walk on eggshells anymore. That breath you take when you understand nobody's going to criticize you today. That freedom that makes you smile... and then immediately feel terrible for smiling.
You might be wondering: What kind of person feels relieved that their marriage ended? Does this mean I never really loved them? Am I selfish? Is something wrong with me?
Spoiler alert: Nothing is wrong with you.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why relief after divorce is not only normal—it's actually a sign you made the right decision
- The real reasons we feel guilty about feeling good (hint: it's not what you think)
- What your relief is trying to tell you about what you were sacrificing in your marriage
- How to release the guilt using practical strategies and universal laws
- Why your relief is actually a superpower that will guide your future
Whether you're feeling guilty about enjoying your freedom, worried about what people will think, or confused about having mixed emotions, this episode will give you permission to feel good without the shame.
This episode is for you if:
- You feel lighter since your divorce ended but guilty about that lightness
- You're pretending to be sadder than you actually are
- You're afraid your relief means you didn't try hard enough
- You need permission to celebrate your freedom
Your relief is valid. Your peace is sacred. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with you for wanting to breathe again.
