Episode 23: Toxic Relationship or Just a Rough Patch? How to Know the Difference
You've been through the fire of divorce. You're trying to rebuild your life, maybe even open your heart again. And now there's this relationship — a friendship, a new person you're dating, a family member — and something just feels… off. But you can't tell if you're finally seeing clearly or if you're just broken and scared.
In this episode, I'm talking about how to know the difference between a toxic relationship and a rough patch — and girl, this one is for you if you've ever caught yourself saying "maybe I'm just being too sensitive" when your gut was screaming something completely different.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why divorce breaks your "normal meter" — and how to start trusting your instincts again
The 3 key questions to ask yourself about any relationship after divorce
How to tell the difference between a rough patch (temporary and survivable) and toxicity (a pattern that erodes who you are)
Why 1 Corinthians 13 gets misused to guilt women into tolerating things that are genuinely not okay
How God's promise of wisdom in James applies directly to your relational discernment right now
Here's what I want you to hear: after everything you've walked through in your marriage, your instincts didn't disappear. You just stopped trusting them. And Proverbs 4:23 says to guard your heart above everything — which I now believe means paying close enough attention to actually know what your heart is telling you. Because God didn't give you a weak, unreliable heart after your divorce. He gave you a more informed one.

Ep 22: Confidence Isn't Vanity.  It's Stepping Into Who God Says You Are After Divorce
Can I be honest with you for a second? After my divorce, I didn't just lose my confidence. I felt guilty for even wanting it back. Like somehow wanting to feel good about myself again was selfish, vain, or spiritually off-track. And girl,  if that's where you are right now, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I'm talking about confidence after divorce — and not the surface-level "just believe in yourself more" kind. We're going deeper. Because real confidence isn't vanity. It's not ego. It's not arrogance. It's actually just learning how to agree with what God already says about you. And that changes everything.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Why so many Christian women feel guilty for wanting to feel confident again — and the truth behind that guilt
The sneaky way divorce quietly erodes your confidence after divorce long before you even realize it's happening
The critical difference between confidence and vanity 
Three practical steps you can start this week to rebuild your confidence — rooted in God, not your circumstances
Why "going back to who you were before" is actually keeping you stuck — and what God is really inviting you into instead
Here's what I know to be true after walking through my own divorce and coming out the other side.There was a season where I couldn't see even a sliver of light. I didn't see a way through. I had maybe a mustard seed of faith — and honestly, some days that felt like a stretch. But God used that tiny seed. And the woman standing here today? She is not the woman who sat in the dark wondering if she'd ever get back up. I want that same thing for you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made — full stop. No asterisk. No "except for that divorce." Just period. And it is time to start living like you believe that.

Episode #20: Faith Isn’t Certainty—It’s Showing Up AnywayWhat if faith isn’t about having all the answers…
…but showing up even when you don’t?
If you’re a Christian woman navigating life after divorce, you’ve probably found yourself stuck in this space:
👉 waiting for clarity 👉 overthinking every decision 👉 wondering if you’re “doing the right thing”
Because you’ve been taught that faith should feel certain.
But what if that’s not actually what faith looks like?
In this honest and faith-filled episode of "The Midlife Comeback Club Podcast," we’re breaking down what it really means to trust God in uncertainty—especially when you’re rebuilding your life after divorce.
Because real faith?
Doesn’t always feel confident. It often feels like taking the next step… without having the full plan.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
– Why faith is not the same as certainty (and why that matters) – How fear and overthinking keep you stuck after divorce – The difference between waiting on God vs. avoiding action – What God often gives you, instead of what you want – How to rebuild faith after divorce when you feel unsure – What it actually means to walk by faith, not by sight – How to take action even when you don’t feel ready or confident

Episode #19: Healing After Divorce Takes Longer Than Forgiveness—and That’s Okay
You’ve forgiven…
So why does it still hurt?
If you’re a Christian woman navigating life after divorce, this is one of the most confusing parts of the healing process.
Because you’ve prayed about it. You’ve made the decision to forgive. You want to move forward.
And yet…
You’re still triggered. Still emotional. Still feeling the weight of what happened.
In this honest and faith-filled episode of The Midlife Comeback Club Podcast, we’re breaking down the difference between forgiveness and healing—and why they don’t happen on the same timeline.
Because forgiveness is a decision…
But healing? That’s a process.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
– Why forgiving someone doesn’t instantly heal emotional pain – The difference between forgiveness and emotional healing after divorce – Why you may still feel triggered—even after you’ve forgiven – How to release guilt around “not being over it yet” – What the Bible says about forgiveness vs. healing – Why healing takes time—and what that actually looks like – How to walk through emotional healing with God instead of rushing it
✨ Ready to Start Healing?
If you’re tired of:
💛 feeling stuck in your emotions 💛 questioning whether you’ve really forgiven 💛 trying to rush your healing
You don’t have to do this alone.
And you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

Episode #18: Emotionally Abusive Relationships Don’t Always Look Like You Think
When you hear the words emotional abuse…
You probably picture yelling. Name-calling. Obvious toxic behavior.
But what if the most damaging kind of emotional abuse… doesn’t look like that at all?
In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Midlife Comeback Club Podcast, we’re talking about the subtle, confusing, and often overlooked signs of emotional abuse—and why so many Christian women don’t even realize they were in an emotionally abusive relationship until they’re out of it.
Because sometimes…
It doesn’t look like chaos.
It looks like confusion.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
💕The subtle signs of emotional abuse that most women miss💕Why emotional abuse often feels confusing instead of obvious💕The 3 main things that show up in relationships💕Why you may have felt like you were always the problem💕The connection between emotional abuse and losing your confidence, voice, and identity💕How to recognize when you’ve been conditioned to question yourself💕How Jesus treated women and why that matters

Episode #17: Rebuilding Confidence After Divorce Without Faking It or Forcing It
“Just be confident.” “Fake it till you make it.” “Just believe in yourself.”
If you’re a Christian woman navigating life after divorce… that advice probably makes you want to roll your eyes. 
Because when your life has been turned upside down, confidence doesn’t just magically come back.
In fact, after divorce, it’s not just your confidence that takes a hit…
It’s your self-trust.
In this honest and faith-filled episode of The Midlife Comeback Club Podcast, I break down what it really looks like to rebuild confidence after divorce—without pretending, performing, or forcing yourself into a version of confidence that doesn’t feel real.
Because true confidence isn’t something you fake…
It’s something you rebuild—one step at a time.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
– Why confidence after divorce isn’t just about mindset & what it really is – The truth about “fake it till you make it” (and why it doesn’t work long-term) – How divorce impacts your confidence, identity, and decision-making – The connection between faith, action, and rebuilding confidence – Why small daily promises are the foundation of real confidence – How to move forward even when you feel unsure, emotional, or not ready
✨ Ready to Rebuild Your Confidence (For Real)?
If you’re tired of: 💛 second-guessing yourself 💛 feeling stuck or unsure 💛 trying to “fake” confidence that doesn’t feel real

Episode #15: Why “Just Have Faith” Is Terrible Advice for Divorced Women
“Just have faith.”
If you’re a Christian woman going through divorce, chances are you’ve heard this more than once.
And while it sounds encouraging…
It often leaves you feeling more confused, frustrated, and even spiritually stuck.
Because when your life has just fallen apart, your identity feels shaken, and your emotions are all over the place…
“Just have faith” doesn’t actually tell you what to do next.
In this honest and eye-opening episode of "The Midlife Comeback Club Podcast," I break down why this common piece of advice falls flat for so many Christian women after divorce—and what real, practical faith actually looks like in a season of healing.
Because the truth is…
Faith isn’t meant to replace your healing.And it’s not meant to silence your emotions.
If you’ve been trying to “just have faith” but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will help you understand something powerful.
You’re not doing it wrong.You’ve just been given incomplete advice.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
– Why “just have faith” can feel frustrating and unhelpful after divorce– How this advice can unintentionally keep Christian women emotionally stuck– The difference between real faith and passive waiting– Why faith doesn’t eliminate grief, confusion, or emotional pain– What the Bible actually shows about faith and taking action– How to move forward after divorce with both faith and practical steps– What real, grounded faith looks like during divorce recovery
✨ Ready to Move Forward with Confidence and Faith?
If this episode spoke to your heart, the next step is surrounding yourself with women who truly understand this journey.

Episode #14: Faith Doesn’t Cancel Feelings — Why Suppressing Pain After Divorce Isn’t Spiritual
As Christian women, we’re often taught that if we just “have enough faith,” we shouldn’t feel sad, angry, or overwhelmed.
So after divorce, when those emotions show up…
We try to pray them away.Ignore them.Push them down.
And call it faith.
But what if suppressing your feelings isn’t spiritual at all?
In this honest and eye-opening episode of The Midlife Comeback Club Podcast, I talk about the real reason so many Christian women stay stuck emotionally after divorce—and why pretending you’re “fine” is actually slowing down your healing.
Because the truth is…
Faith doesn’t cancel your feelings.
And healing doesn’t happen when you ignore what you feel—it happens when you finally face it.
If you’ve ever felt like your emotions mean you’re doing something wrong spiritually, this episode will help you understand something powerful.
You’re not failing in your faith.You’re learning how to process your pain in a healthy, honest way.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
– Why suppressing emotions after divorce keeps you stuck longer than necessary– The difference between real healing and “spiritual avoidance”– What the Bible actually shows us about emotions and faith– WhatvJesus did when it came to expressing his deep emotions– How to stop trying to “pray away” your feelings– What it looks like to bring honest, unfiltered emotions to God– How emotional healing and spiritual growth actually work together
