Welcome to the Divorce Survival Guide podcast, where we have open and honest conversations about co-parenting, separation, divorce, and the hardest question of all, should you stay or should you go.

I'm Kate Anthony, your divorce survival guide, and I'm here to help you navigate some of

the roughest waters you've ever swum in and answer some of your toughest questions. I've been to

hell and back, and now it's my mission in life to help you get to the other side of this process

with your sanity and your heart intact.

Hey everyone. Welcome back. All right. Continue on with our series of seven-step mindset reset for divorce. we are moving into practicing self-care now we talked about

patients last time and yes patients is a form of self-care but there's a lot more to the self-care that is necessary.

It is essential at this juncture to practice self-care so that you can manage the emotional,

mental, and physical challenges of what you're going through.

I want you to be focusing on relaxation, but like, I'm not saying

like, go lie down. Although, you know what? Sometimes going and lying down is a really, really, really,

really good idea. If you set your alarm for 20 minutes and you just go and lie down and do nothing

and let the cobwebs and the shit just

work itself out, whether you sleep or not, you're going to feel much more renewed and able

to focus. Being in community, there is nothing better, nothing than getting the support and

understanding from a community that understands and knows what you're going through.

Shameless plug for Phoenix Rising.

All of the women in Phoenix Rising are getting that support, and it is really helping them.

So prioritizing your well-being, look, this, like, get your pap smear, get your mammogram.

You may not feel like you have time to go to the dentist and all of those things.

You have to.

Because the last thing you need in the middle of your divorce is to find out that you need a root canal because you've been ignoring your, you know, physical well-being.
