Episode #149: Divorce Doesn't Have To Be A Dirty Word
I wasn’t sure that I was going to share this episode today, but it felt right, so here we are. And, in true Amanda fashion, we’re getting wildly vulnerable and moving through the mess on our season finale of the podcast about something so many of you have been wondering for months:
Divorce.
Specifically my divorce.
This episode is messy, because divorce is messy.
This episode is filled with feels, because transitions and grief like this brings up a lot.
This episode also tackles the notion that divorce, de-escalations and breakups don’t have to be (and often rarely are) this cut and dry, black and white, good / bad thing.
Sometimes, divorce is the very thing that sets you free. It is and was for me.
Things Amanda talks about in todays episode:
What this episode is not going to be about
Boundaries with respect to when / what to share around this chapter
The 3 life events that are most disruptive to our nervous system / mental health
The difference between a breakup and a de-escalation
Leading with love
The reason for the divorce had nothing to do with polyamory
Being a big feeler, relationship anarchist values, the things she’s been doing to support herself during this time & what’s next
