• 160. 5 Steps To Healing After Betrayal & Divorce

  What does decluttering a drawer full of hoodies have to do with healing after betrayal and divorce? More than you might think.In this episode, I share how a simple project of cleaning out my dresser drawers turned into a powerful reminder of the healing journey. Just like those drawers, our inner world can get overstuffed with old roles, relationships, patterns, and guilt that no longer fit who we are today.Together we’ll explore five healing shifts that can help you rebuild after betrayal and a life-saving divorce:Letting go of guilt – releasing what no longer serves you without shame.Intentional choosing – giving everything in your life a fresh “yes” instead of defaulting to obligation.Private wins – why the most important victories in healing are often unseen by others.Making space for what’s next – learning to tolerate the discomfort of empty space instead of rushing to fill it.Choosing what goes back in – filling your “drawers” with peace, boundaries, values, and relationships that truly fit.If you’ve ever felt weighed down by old patterns, caught in guilt for letting go, or unsure what should come next in your healing journey, this episode will help you find clarity, courage, and self-trust.✨ Tune in to discover how decluttering your drawers can become a metaphor for decluttering your life after betrayal and divorce.________________________________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 💬 ⁠⁠⁠Empowered Divorce Q&A⁠⁠⁠ – Free monthly group coaching.

  It can be hard to know how to start living life after a life saving divorce. Where the story you thought you were writing with someone suddenly ends in shock, grief, and confusion. Using the powerful analogy of The Monster at the End of This Book, I explore why fear keeps us stuck in the past pages and how agency becomes your greatest plot twist. You’ll learn why your nervous system clings to old chapters, how to stop rereading the painful parts, and simple practices to begin turning the page into a future you get to author. If you’ve ever wondered how to move forward when the ending you dreamed of no longer exists, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t over—you’re still holding the pen._____________________________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 💬 ⁠⁠⁠Empowered Divorce Q&A⁠⁠⁠ – Free monthly group coaching.

• 158. Was Divorce The Wrong Decision?

  Even if you chose divorce… you might still doubt it.This episode is for every woman who left a harmful relationship—and now finds herself wondering:“What if I made the wrong choice?”“What if he really changed for her?”“What if it wasn't that bad after all?”This kind of doubt is so common after a life-saving divorce, especially when your nervous system is detoxing from the chaos, and you’re sitting in the quiet that once felt like peace—but now feels unfamiliar.We talk about:Why your doubt doesn't mean you made the wrong decisionNervous system withdrawals (and why they make you question everything)Cognitive dissonance and trauma bonds after betrayalWhat “peace” actually feels like after a high-conflict or covertly abusive marriageHow to anchor into your truth even when your ex’s curated life makes you question your realityIf you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling in “what ifs” or stalking their new partner online, this episode will help you come home to your knowing again.🧠 Doubt is not a red flag. It's part of healing from being gaslit.You didn’t leave because it was easy. You left because you finally trusted yourself.__________________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 💬 ⁠⁠Empowered Divorce Q&A⁠⁠ – Free monthly group coaching.

• 157. Loving Yourself After Betrayal & Divorce; 5 Steps You Can Start Practicing Today

  What does real self-love look like after betrayal and a life-saving divorce? It’s not bubble baths and retail therapy. It’s not pretending you’re “fine.”In this episode, I share five powerful ways you can start practicing self-love today in the middle of healing. These tools go beyond surface-level self-care and get to the root of rebuilding your relationship with yourself—through alignment, boundaries, resilience, and compassion.Together we’ll explore:Getting honest about what’s out of alignment – learning how betrayal and divorce can knock you off balance, and how to come back to your values.Setting and honoring boundaries – protecting your nervous system by not abandoning yourself when co-parenting or facing ongoing conflict.Paying attention to who and what brings out the worst in you – and how to funnel your energy toward the spaces and people who help you feel grounded and whole.Ruthlessly prioritizing your wellbeing – why self-care in trauma recovery is not a luxury, but a necessity for healing your nervous system.Celebrating yourself – shifting from self-criticism to noticing your progress, honoring even the smallest wins, and building self-trust through compassion.If you’ve ever wondered why self-love feels elusive after betrayal—or why you keep abandoning yourself in the process—this episode will give you both validation and practical tools to shift.✨ Healing isn’t about becoming perfectly regulated or polished. It’s about practicing alignment, protecting your energy, and showing up for yourself—over and over again._____________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 💬 ⁠⁠⁠Empowered Divorce Q&A⁠⁠⁠ – Free monthly group coaching.

• 155. The Strength You Can’t See: Healing Your Nervous System After Betrayal

  In this episode, I’m inviting you into the yoga studio with me—kind of. I recently did an isometric yoga workout and whoa, it became the perfect metaphor for healing after betrayal. You’ll hear why real nervous system healing doesn’t mean you’re calm all the time, and how building emotional and somatic strength is often quiet, shaky, and invisible—but life-changing.We talk about:What a healthy nervous system really looks like (it’s not what you think)Why getting triggered isn’t a sign you’re brokenHow to build capacity for discomfort without abandoning yourselfThe myth of toxic positivity and “never getting dysregulated again”Why boundaries, shaky truths, and rest are the new strength repsIf you’ve ever felt like you're doing something wrong because you're still getting triggered, or if you wonder when healing will finally stick—this one’s for you.___________________________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING ✨💬 ⁠⁠Empowered Divorce Q&A⁠⁠ – Free monthly group coaching.
