There are big feelings, ups, downs and all arounds to be navigated in life (and especially divorce) — but the degree to which we suffer is optional.

In this episode, Kristen Noel, certified divorce coach and creator of the Best Self Intuitive Divorce program, discusses how suffering is optional even in the midst of divorce. She emphasizes the importance of nurturing yourself, getting support, and transforming your divorce experience by changing your approach to discomfort and adversity. She provides strategies to mitigate suffering and encourages you to identify patterns that lead to pain, redirect your suffering, and as a result, create better outcomes during divorce. Kristen also offers resources — a free divorce workshop and strategy call to support mothers navigating the difficult time of divorce.

Divorce is a season of transition — and like a good spring cleaning, we can reassess what no longer fits in our closets and lives.

I love a good metaphor — and can’t resist drawing a parallel between seasonal closet cleaning and navigating the emotional landscape of divorce. I want to share some personal experiences and insights on how divorce can be a transformative opportunity to reassess life, break old patterns, and make conscious choices about what to keep and discard. I want you to view divorce not just as an end…but as a transition to a new chapter you are excited about, back in your power and trusting yourself. Listen in…
