What happens after the major decision is made?

In this second part of my comeback story, I share the reality no one really talks about after divorce and major life change: the quiet weight of realizing every decision now belongs to you.

From finances and daily choices to learning how to trust yourself again, this season often feels less dramatic than shock — but far more uncertain.

This is what I call limbo: that middle space where the old life is over, but the new one has not fully formed.

In this episode, I talk honestly about:

• why limbo feels mentally exhausting
• how small decisions begin rebuilding confidence
• why reentry often happens quietly
• and how you know you have entered your new life

If you are walking through divorce, empty nesting, career transition, or any season where life feels unfamiliar, this conversation will remind you that uncertainty does not mean failure.

In this episode:

• Why every decision felt heavier than expected
• What limbo really looks like in everyday life
• How I leaned on trusted people while rebuilding confidence
• The quiet way reentry began for me

My book Start Your Comeback and companion workbook are coming soon.

For years on the Start Your Comeback Podcast, Toni has interviewed guests about life transitions, unexpected change, and what it takes to move forward when life does not unfold the way we planned.

In this deeply personal episode, she shares part of her own story.

After twenty-five years of marriage, raising two sons, building a home, and living what looked like a steady life from the outside, everything shifted when mental illness entered her family in a way that changed daily life for years to come.

What followed was a long season of emotional strain, private fear, public embarrassment, and learning how to keep functioning while carrying more than most people could see.

Working full time, coaching sports, parenting, and managing the unpredictability of home life required grit she did not know she had.

In this episode, Toni opens up about the season she now recognizes as the first stage of every major life transition:

Shock.

The place where life changes, but the heart and mind are still trying to catch up.

This conversation is honest, thoughtful, and filled with the perspective that would eventually shape the work she now does with women walking through major life transitions.

In This Episode:

• What life looked like before everything changed
• How mental illness reshaped family life
• The private weight of functioning through difficult years
• Why shock often lasts longer than people expect
• The moment Toni realized survival and rebuilding are not the same thing

Resources Mentioned:

Toni’s upcoming book Start Your Comeback and companion workbook are designed to help women navigate the stages of transition: shock, limbo, and reentry. Release date is later in the Spring.
