271. Life After Divorce: Inside the Single Mom Identity Crisis

Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce

You didn’t plan on single-mom life at 40. You didn’t plan on working full-time while juggling sick kids, homework, and Tylenol runs at 2 a.m. You didn’t plan on losing the “white picket fence” identity you once posted on social media.

This week on Dear Divorce Diary, we’re getting real about what happens when your stay-at-home-mom world collapses and you have to become everything—breadwinner, nurturer, disciplinarian—overnight.

Inside this honest conversation, you’ll hear:

• Why the transition from stay-at-home to single working mom is such a shock to your nervous system
• How overcompensating for your kids (or trying to be “both parents”) leaks your energy
• Simple, free grounding tools that help you become a true safe space for your kids—and for yourself

You’ll also learn why presence—not perfection—is the thing your children (and your body) crave most, and how nervous-system regulation after divorce can completely shift the way you parent.
