Welcome back to Heal, Survive and Thrive.

I am excited for today.

And I'm so glad that you're here because this conversation is one that a lot of people need to hear,

especially if you've gone through a divorce or you're thinking about it or maybe you've

been out of a marriage for a while or you've already gone through that breakup.

And you're asking yourself, why do I still feel the same?

Why does it still feel like nothing's really changed?

You know, I thought about this episode for a while because there's so many ideas and notions

out there that just going through a divorce that people change, people can change from one relationship to the next.

And I don't want to focus just solely on this episode about talking about your ex

because that's just not going to move anything forward.

If you need to really understand the person that you were with, we have to wholeheartedly

know that no one changes just by getting

into another relationship. But that's a different podcast episode. So this might sting a little,

but if you've been listening to this show and to me for a while, you already know I don't sugarcoat

the truth. I'm here to help you to shift and grow and really move on and finally move on.

So let's start with some hard truths.

Divorce doesn't automatically equal healing. And I'm talking really to you. I don't want to focus on

your ex. You can change your last name back. You can split assets. You can move into a new place.

And still, emotionally, you are the same person.

You're in the same patterns, the same pain, the same mindset.

Because leaving the person is just one part of the process.
