283. When Divorce Resentment Won’t Let You Breathe

You swore you were past it.
You journaled, forgave, meditated, did the work.

But then a photo shows up, or someone says his name, and your chest tightens again. That’s resentment — the emotion that doesn’t move out just because you tell it to.

In this episode, we stop pretending it’s gone.
We talk about what keeps it alive, why it feeds on validation, and what’s hiding under all that anger.

Joy shares the text that broke her cool...Tiff opens up about being the one who always held it all together while he got to play the “fun dad.”...And I talk about the moment I realized my resentment wasn’t about him anymore (it was about the part of me that still didn’t feel safe alone).

We get honest about the apology that never helps, the waiting for closure that keeps you stuck, and the small ways resentment protects you from feeling the harder stuff underneath: grief, fear, loneliness, shame.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just move on?” — this one’s for you.
