Ep. 314 - What to Do When You’re "Divorce Exhausted" but Can’t Drop the Ball

Thursday episodes are for when your body won’t do what your mind understands.

If you’re exhausted after divorce but still feel like you can’t drop the ball…
If rest makes you anxious instead of relieved…
If part of you believes that if you stop managing everything, it will all fall apart…

This episode gives you something to do in that moment.

Not a mindset shift.
Not a pep talk.
Not “just rest more.”

In this premium episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn guides you through a body-based reset designed to interrupt the overfunctioning loop that so many women get stuck in during and after divorce.

Because divorce exhaustion isn’t a motivation problem —
It’s a nervous system survival pattern built on the belief:

“If I don’t carry everything, nothing will hold.”

In this episode, you’ll:

• Locate where the “I have to handle this” response lives in your body
• Identify the belief that keeps you overcontrolling even when you’re depleted
• Work with the part of you that learned effort = safety
• Practice a guided tapping sequence to test a new experience of support
• Begin loosening the reflex to chase, force, or overextend yourself

This is especially for you if:

• You’re doing everything “right” but still feel braced
• You don’t trust help yet — or feel safer relying only on yourself
• You’re tired but can’t relax
• You feel hyper-vigilant, responsible, or on edge when you try to slow down
• Coaching, therapy, or insight hasn’t translated into relief in your body

You don’t have to believe anything new for this to work.

You just need to notice what your body does when effort stops being the only way you feel safe.

🎧 Come back to this episode whenever divorce exhaustion shows up as overcontrol, urgency, or the fear that you can’t afford to stop.
