What happens when the life you thought you’d live…. the parenting, the partnership, the picture… no longer fits?

In this refreshingly honest and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Vicki La Bouchardiere, a mother, author, and woman who’s made choices many wouldn’t dare voice… and has found peace on the other side.

This isn’t a story of reinvention.
It’s a story of honest evolution.

💬 In this conversation, we talk about….

✨ What happens when you’ve ticked every box… and still feel lost

✨ Why Vicki left a marriage for her children’s sake (and still carried the guilt)

✨ The emotional labour of motherhood no one validates

✨ Finding freedom in choices that others don’t agree with

✨ How to hold your truth when it threatens your role

🧠 For the woman who….

⚡ Is quietly drowning in a life that looks fine
⚡ Feels like a stranger inside the role of mother, partner, or peacemaker
⚡ Craves honesty over hustle, truth over performance, peace over proof

This episode isn’t a pep talk. It’s a permission slip.

To choose a different story….

Even if no one claps.
Even if you cry the whole way through.
Even if you’re the only one who understands it right now.

Divorce didn’t just break your heart…. it f*cked with your body too. In this raw episode, we explore how trauma impacts your nervous system, your gut, your energy, and how to start healing from the inside out.

Ever felt like divorce didn’t just break your heart…. but also wrecked your body?

Same. Same.

In this powerful and honest episode, I’m talking about the side of healing no one ever warns you about… when trauma shows up in your nervous system, your gut, your energy, your immune system, and your ability to function like a normal bloody human.

After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease following the stress of my divorce, I realised what so many of us are living through….

⚠️ Constant fight/flight/freeze/fawn
⚠️ Anxiety in the body
⚠️ Fatigue, flare-ups, inflammation
⚠️ Shame about not “bouncing back” fast enough

This episode talks you through…

🔥 What happens to your nervous system during chronic stress
🔥 Why symptoms like brain fog, IBS, and exhaustion are not in your head
🔥 What healing actually looks like….emotionally, physically, and even financially
🔥 The importance of rebuilding self-trust and nervous system safety
🔥 How books and community (aka the Divorce Book Club) become healing tools

It’s raw. It’s personal. It’s practical.
And if your body has been screaming louder than your ex lately…. this one’s for you.

And for more healing…. This month’s Book Club pick 📚
