As a certified, therapist-approved life coach, I have worked with hundreds of women who are experiencing betrayal trauma, abuse and divorce. When you have experienced PTSD due to your partners infidelity, addiction and abusive behaviors, it’s chipped away at your sense of empowerment. Divorce is hard enough, but divorcing after trauma is another level of hard. My goal is to help women navigate divorce from a place of empowerment, dignity and strength. I offer tools to practice each week and you will hear interviews from other women who have tapped into their power to move forward and thrive!
I had a client who had decided that divorce was the next best step for her and her situation- and at the same time she wanted to know how to not become bitter towards her spouse as she moved towards divorce and I thought that was such a great question. So I want to talk about how to overcome bitterness in my message today.
I hear so many women say- my life is a mess, I hate it, i just want to fix this mess, how did it get to be such a mess? Today i want to challenge these thoughts and offer a new thought. What if you could love yourself in the mess? What if the mess doesn’t mean anything about YOU?
When we are regularly placing someone’s needs and wants before your own, and then bottling up your own feelings, and then stay silent about what we are really thinking and feeling or what we really want to do or not do, it’s a self destructive path to be on.
Spiritual abuse shows up more and more as I work with clients and as I have experienced this in my own life. It’s hard to recognize, and even harder to accept when you become aware spiritual abuse exists and is often coupled with other types of abuse.
If you are tired of waking up with the same junk thoughts your brain keeps offering you, it’s time for some cleaning up. I want to help you see that it’s not only possible, but you will see that you are capable.
We are often afraid to think differently because our human brain thinks its dangerous. I want to share a message about daring to think differently-

Choose to be Podcast: Beginning Boundaries Starting with Me. Learn what boundaries are, how to set them and stick to them, and why they are important for YOU.
Sometimes when things are not going as planned, we lose our trust in men, in friends, in clergy, in God, and in ourselves. I often hear women say, “I just don’t trust anyone.”
What if… you honored what your brain is doing – trying to protect you and help you see there is a reason to not trust. What if… it’s okay not to trust right now. What if… you just allowed yourself to honor the space you are in rather than thinking you have to or are supposed to be trusting.
The truth is, you are a trusting person and you had someone take advantage of that trust. Right now, its okay to allow space to just get your bearings again, to get a better grip on your own reality, and then… then we start the work of learning to trust again.
And guess what? It begins with trusting yourself!
No more second guessing your gut instinct. You CAN be in a place where you are so in tune with your body, your thoughts, and your feelings that you learn to trust again.
