Join here ✨*************************************************************************************Ever wonder why people-pleasing feels so impossible to break—and what it would take to finally let yourself be seen and heard?If you’re stuck in cycles of making yourself small to keep the peace—whether at work, with your ex, or even around your kids—this episode is for you. We were taught early on that our value depended on how well we cared for everyone else, and those old stories keep running the show long after childhood. Producer Joy gets real about the roots of her own people-pleasing patterns, and Coach Tiffini walks her through a powerful IFS (Internal Family Systems) session—live and unscripted—that helps link past experiences, somatic sensations, and the beliefs still holding you hostage.By tuning in, you’ll discover how to recognize the exact moment your people-pleaser takes over, what it means to use somatic tools and EMDR to free yourself from old memory loops, and why integrating body-focused healing (not just talk therapy!) can rewire your responses for good. You’ll walk away with compassion for your old survival strategies, real-life techniques to set boundaries and speak up, and brand-new ways to actually embody your authentic self instead of just talking about it.Ready to experience your own breakthrough?

Join here ✨*************************************************************************************In today's episode we dive deep into why women fresh out of divorce struggle to choose what supports their healing, even when they know what to do. We're going to unpack the sneaky emotional loops that make short-term relief like numbing, people-pleasing, getting into a fight with your ex feel safer than long-term healing, and how your nervous system is often still in survival mode, prioritizing comfort over growth. We're also going to talk about why you're more afraid of being rejected by others than you are aware of how often you're rejecting yourself. This episode isn't about shaming yourself for not doing enough. It's about understanding why it feels so hard and what to do differently.I'm going to give you a very specific calendar task plus a three-question prompt to guide you in that exact moment when you feel the urge to avoid the thing you know would help you heal.

About Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce
We are on a journey to get into the nitty gritty of divorce recovery and reveal why your divorce healing journey is still not working for you–even after you’ve tried therapy and read all the books. Let's transform your pain into strength and take charge of your own narrative. Now’s the time we reclaim your healing journey–and why exactly we struggle to not only heal from past traumas but move beyond them to the ultimate goal: inner peace. That is real self-empowerment, and this is Dear Divorce Diary. I’m Dawn Wiggins, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR specialist. I draw on decades of experience to help women navigate the emotional rollercoaster after ending a marriage. Using a little bit of science, a few alternative remedies and emotional release techniques, a whole lot of love, and zero BS, we step out of the victim mindset and into building a new life after divorce.We emphasize nuance because overcoming challenges after divorce means questioning everything that got us here and using your divorce as a springboard to a better, more resilient (and certainly happier!) you. On Tuesday, we have our listener segment called: "Getting Unstuck," where we anonymously unpack a difficult situation a listener is going through in their divorce healing journey. And, on Thursday, we explore a "Hidden Healing Gem," which is a healing product or process we've tried and tested personally and/or professionally and are sharing our results and observations with you!We cover essential life after divorce topics like grief, anxiety, codependency, loneliness, boundaries, nervous system health, attachment styles, the Law of Attraction, and homeopathy. Join us twice a week as we go beyond talk therapy to process your grief, find the healing you crave, and rebuild your confidence.
