Summary
Radical acceptance means completely accepting a situation, circumstance, or challenge without necessarily approving or agreeing with it. In this installment of the 7-Step Divorce Mindset reset, I share why this concept is especially crucial in the divorce process.
Embracing radical acceptance is one of the most powerful things you can do. It's revolutionary yet fundamental. It's about letting go of the struggle over who you thought your partner was and truly accepting who they are.
You'll hear:
- Radical acceptance is not remotely akin to forgiveness
- Tina Swithin's Radical Acceptance Oath
- What happens after you've come to a place of radical acceptance

| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:17.8 | I'm Kate Anthony, your divorce survival guide, and I'm here to help you navigate some of |
| 0:23.3 | the roughest waters you've ever swum in and answer some of your toughest questions. I've been to |
| 0:29.1 | hell and back, and now it's my mission in life to help you get to the other side of this process |
| 0:35.1 | with your sanity and your heart intact. |
| 0:43.4 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the next installment of my seven-step divorce mindset reset series. That's a mouthful. So today we're going to be talking |
| 1:00.1 | about radical acceptance. And this is a really big piece of the divorce process, right? |
| 1:12.9 | Radical acceptance is a full and complete acceptance of a situation, |
| 1:23.0 | a circumstance that you might be in, a challenge that you might be facing. |

| 1:30.5 | that we agree with it, that we are in any way aligning ourselves with it. We're just acknowledging that it is |

| 1:52.6 | personality, somebody who is abusive or, you know, anything that falls under that |
