Ever sworn you wouldn’t check his Instagram at 1 a.m. … and still did? Or did you tell yourself, “just one glass,” and finish the bottle? That loop isn’t just bad habits—it’s codependency as addiction.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, dawn, Producer Joy, and Coach Tiffini unpack how post-divorce codependency functions like a hidden addiction—hooking you on approval, fixing, and being chosen. We’ll explore:

✨ Why shame (not loneliness) is the engine that keeps you stuck
✨ The breadcrumb → boundary cycle every divorced woman knows too well
✨ How “good girl” conditioning rewires your nervous system for addiction
✨ Practical ways to interrupt the dopamine-drama loop

You don’t need another glass, another scroll, or another half-love. You need a nervous system that feels safe—and that’s what we help women build every day.

When you’re in crisis, your nervous system isn’t neutral—it’s running survival programs. Fight, flight, freeze, repeat. And when you tell yourself “not now”, that’s not laziness or failure—it’s a protective pattern your body believes is keeping you safe.

But here’s the thing: survival mode isn’t meant to be permanent. It quietly drains your energy, feeds old beliefs like “I can’t do this,” and keeps you circling the same pain.

In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we explore:

✨ Why the nervous system convinces us to wait until things feel calmer before healing
✨ How beliefs like “not now” or “what if it doesn’t work” keep you locked in survival loops
✨ The energetic cost of staying in crisis—and what shifts when you allow safety to be restored
✨ What happens in the very first month of our program that helps women feel grounded, resourced, and ready for lasting change

Healing isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about creating safety, updating beliefs, and letting your body remember how to release what it’s been carrying.

Trust and money go hand in hand after divorce—yet both feel broken. When the person who swore forever betrayed you, even opening your wallet can feel unsafe.

You’ll Learn

• Why money feels emotionally risky after betrayal.
• How your nervous system links financial fear to past trust wounds.
• The first step to rebuilding safety with money in your body—not just your bank account.

💎 Want money to feel safe again? Join A Different D Word
and build nervous-system safety alongside financial confidence.

When trust is broken in marriage, it doesn’t just live in your memories—it shows up in how you relate to money. Bills, budgets, even dreams of independence can trigger the same body-wide fear you felt in betrayal.

In this episode, I share how to understand the trust-money connection, and what your nervous system needs to feel grounded again. When money feels safe, you stop shrinking and start creating a future you actually trust.

Money after divorce doesn’t have to feel unsafe—healing starts in your nervous system.

Deep down, most divorced women admit they knew. They felt it in their body, in their gut, in the quiet moments of doubt—but stayed anyway. In this episode, I unpack why we override our intuition, how trauma and codependency keep us in cycles of denial, and what it takes to reclaim the wisdom you already have. Your body has always known the truth. It’s time to finally listen.

If your divorce healing feels stuck, the block may be hiding in your sexual self-acceptance. It’s not about sex—it’s about shame.

You’ll Learn

• How sexual shame sneaks into divorce recovery.
• Why ignoring this block keeps women frozen in grief.
• The path to reclaiming wholeness through self-acceptance.

💎 Healing isn’t about pushing past shame—it’s about learning safety in your body. Join A Different D Word

Many divorced women feel stuck in their healing, not realizing the real block is sexual self-acceptance. This isn’t about performance—it’s about permission.

Sexual self-acceptance is the missing piece in many women’s divorce recovery journeys.
