Thursday episodes are for when your body won't do what your mind understands.If you're exhausted after divorce but still feel like you can't drop the ball… If rest makes you anxious instead of relieved… If part of you believes that if you stop managing everything, it will all fall apart…This episode gives you something to do in that moment.Not a mindset shift. Not a pep talk. Not “just rest more.”In this premium episode of Dear Divorce Diary, Dawn guides you through a body-based reset designed to interrupt the overfunctioning loop that so many women get stuck in during and after divorce.Because divorce exhaustion isn't a motivation problem — It's a nervous system survival pattern built on the belief:“If I don't carry everything, nothing will hold.”In this episode, you'll:Locate where the “I have to handle this” response lives in your bodyIdentify the belief that keeps you overcontrolling even when you're depletedWork with the part of you that learned effort = safetyPractice a guided tapping sequence to test a new experience of supportBegin loosening the reflex to chase, force, or overextend yourselfThis is especially for you if:You're doing everything “right” but still feel bracedYou don't trust help yet — or feel safer relying only on yourselfYou're tired but can't relaxYou feel hyper-vigilant, responsible, or on edge when you try to slow downCoaching, therapy, or insight hasn't translated into relief in your bodyYou don't have to believe anything new for this to work.You just need to notice what your body does when effort stops being the only way you feel safe.

After divorce, women are often told to “step into their masculine energy” — be strong, decisive, productive, self-sufficient.But what if you're not choosing strength at all?What if your body simply doesn't expect help to arrive? And, do you know what to do about this?In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we talk about why so many women feel stuck in over-functioning after divorce — and why what looks like competence is often a nervous system stuck in survival mode.You'll learn:Why safety must come before softnessHow over-functioning becomes a substitute for trustWhy feminine energy doesn't show up just because you tell yourself to relaxHow childhood beliefs quietly shape the partners we attractWhy receiving help can trigger guilt, shame, or emotional shutdownThe difference between true support and trying to be “held” before you feel safeWe also share insights from hundreds of women who've taken our Divorce Recovery Nervous System Quiz, revealing how most women actually feel when someone tries to help them — and why that reaction keeps them stuck in burnout.And stay until the end for My Body Said No, where we each share a real moment when honoring a physical “no” — instead of pushing through — changed everything.If you're exhausted, capable, and secretly wondering why rest feels impossible… this episode will name what your body has been trying to tell you.

I wonder if this ever happens to you. Maybe you're visiting someone and you're staying overnight. Or you're on a trip and you're staying in a hotel or an Airbnb. And that first time you wake up, you have a brief few seconds where you're a little disoriented. Like, “Hey, where am I? This is not my bedroom. This is not my bed”. But then it comes back to you – oh yeah, I'm away from home right now. I would think it would be even worse if you woke up and realized you're in a hospital bed. For the podcast, I typically don't do stories that are mainly centered around the guest being in a coma. It's an interesting concept for sure, but just the fact that someone was in a coma would make for a difficult episode. I mean, how can you tell a detailed story when you were asleep for most of it? Today we're going to hear from Scott. He was in a coma for a while. And then he had that experience of trying to figure out “why am I in a hospital...what is going on”. But his story is not really about him being in a coma. It's about what the doctor told him when he woke up.

Behind the Mic is where we slow the conversation down.In this premium episode, we speak candidly about dissociation during and after divorce—not in clinical terms, and not from a distance, but from inside our own lived experience.This is a quieter, more intimate conversation about the ways women cope when life becomes overwhelming… and how easy it is to miss what's really happening while you're busy surviving.We talk about:The moment you realize something has been operating under the surfaceWhy certain habits, patterns, and “coping strategies” feel hard to changeThe difference between functioning and actually being presentHow the body protects us long before the mind understands what's happeningThis episode isn't about fixing anything or tying it up neatly.It's about noticing.Getting curious.And letting yourself hear something you may not have had words for yet.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things after divorce but still feel oddly disconnected… If you've ever wondered why certain patterns keep repeating… If you sense there's more happening beneath the surface than you've been able to name…This conversation is for you.As always, Behind the Mic is raw, personal, and meant to be experienced—not skimmed.

Imagine being 21 years old, trapped in a two-week coma, completely unable to move or speak, while your sister leans over your bed and confesses her deepest darkest secret to you, and you hear the whole thing.This week, we sit down with Melanie, who at 21 years old, went from a "parking lot" migraine on the 401 to a life-saving brain surgery that left her in a two-week coma . But Melanie wasn't just "asleep"—she describes a vivid, "locked-in" experience where she heard every secret her friends whispered and saw her aunt's birthday wishes in brushstrokes of pink and purple. Melanie shares her "heritage moment" journey of proving every ableist professor wrong by becoming the first legally blind person to graduate from teachers' college in Ontario, despite the system betting she wouldn't make it to Christmas. Melanie's story is a masterclass in why you should never tell a "determined" woman what she can't do.Check out the incredible work Melanie does: https://connect4life.ca/Follow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN

If you're in divorce recovery and keep reaching for food, screens, or emotional numbness, it's easy to assume the problem is discipline.It's not.In today's episode, we talk about what's actually running underneath those patterns: everyday dissociation — the high-functioning, easy-to-miss kind that hides inside coping, productivity, and “getting through the day.” Divorce doesn't just end a relationship; it changes how present you are able to stay with your own life.This matters because dissociation doesn't feel dramatic...it feels normal. And when it's running, healing stays intellectual instead of embodied. You can understand your patterns, do the work, and still feel stuck because the part of you that needs to feel and integrate isn't fully online.We unpack how dissociation shows up as overeating, doom scrolling, brain fog, emotional flatness, and burnout — and why learning to spot what happens before those behaviors is often the difference between staying in cycles and actually moving forward.We also share practical ways to recognize dissociation in real time, plus listener Small Wins, Big Shifts that show what changes when you stop managing your healing and start experiencing it.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: (@dawnwiggins)Instagram: (@coachtiffini)On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.comA podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.Support the show✨Join the Cocoon Community - your people are waiting! ✨ Stress-Less Flower Essence

'Saint Anthony, the Father of monks, was born in Egypt in 251 of pious parents who departed this life while he was yet young. On hearing the words of the Gospel: "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what thou hast, and give to the poor" (Matt. 19:21), he immediately put it into action. Distributing to the poor all he had, and fleeing from all the turmoil of the world, he departed to the desert. The manifold temptations he endured continually for the space of twenty years are incredible. His ascetical struggles by day and by night, whereby he mortified the uprisings of the passions and attained to the height of dispassion, surpass the bounds of nature; and the report of his deeds of virtue drew such a multitude to follow him, that the desert was transformed into a city, while he became, so to speak, the governor, lawgiver, and master-trainer of all the citizens of this newly-formed city. But the cities of the world also enjoyed the fruit of his virtue. When the Christians were being persecuted and put to death under Maximinus in 312, he hastened to their aid and consolation. When the Church was troubled by the Arians, he went with zeal to Alexandria in 335 and struggled against them in behalf of Orthodoxy. During this time, by the grace of his words, he also turned many unbelievers to Christ.   'He began his ascetical life outside his village of Coma in Upper Egypt, studying the ways of the ascetics and holy men there, and perfecting himself in the virtues of each until he surpassed them all. Desiring to increase his labours, he departed into the desert, and finding an abandoned fortress in the mountain, he made his dwelling in it, training himself in extreme fasting, unceasing prayer, and fierce conflicts with the demons. Here he remained, as mentioned above, about twenty years. Saint Athanasius the Great, who knew him personally and wrote his life, says that he came forth from the fortress "initiated in the mysteries and filled with the Spirit of God." Afterwards, because of the press of the faithful, who deprived him of his solitude, he was enlightened by God to journey with certain Bedouins, until he came to a mountain in the desert near the Red Sea, where he passed the remaining part of his life. Saint Athanasius says of him that "his countenance had a great and wonderful grace. This gift also he had from the Saviour. For if he were present in a great company of monks, and any one who did not know him previously wished to see him, immediately coming forward he passed by the rest, and hurried to Anthony, as though attracted by his appearance. Yet neither in height nor breadth was he conspicuous above others, but in the serenity of his manner and the purity of his soul."   'So passing his life, and becoming an example of virtue and a rule for monastics, he reposed on January 17 in the year 356, having lived together some 105 years.' (Great Horologion)   Speaking of the demonic temptations and struggles with the passions that beset those who seek their salvation, St Anthony said: "All these trials are to your advantage. Do away with temptation and no one will be saved."

In this episode of Spirit Box, I sit down with Chad Andro, host of the podcast Radical Elphame, to talk about his journey into witchcraft, animism, and the search for right relation while living inside an imperial system. Chad reflects on an early entheogenic awakening and his eventual move away from chaos magic toward traditional witchcraft, fairy lore, and a more primal, land-rooted practice shaped by initiation rather than belief.We explore animal encounters as genuine moments of spiritual threshold—bears appearing during ritual, deer as initiators, and the presence of wolves, foxes, and owls in magical work. Our conversation moves through symbolism, shamanic experience, and the difficulty of maintaining spiritual seriousness in a modern, distracted world. We also reflect on what it means to practise witchcraft beyond self-improvement, and how magic can force a reckoning with fear, responsibility, and moral consequence.In the Plus episode, our conversation turns to Chad's work as a winemaker and his experience of creating talismanic wine as offerings. Chad explains how wine, intention, labour, and land become inseparable in devotional magic, and shares the thinking behind a recent occult-focused wine release designed to be worked with rather than collected.From there, we move into podcasting and writing as acts of discipline and devotion, Chad's Substack work, and the writers currently shaping his thinking, including Lee Morgan's A Deep Without Name. We end by talking frankly about empire, exhaustion, and the uneasy possibility that real transformation—personal and collective—may only come through collapse, and what it means to try to remain in right relation as that process unfolds.Show notes:Chad on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/radicalelphame/Chad's substack: https://thefoliatehead.substack.comA deed without a name: https://www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/products/deed-without-a-name-a-unearthing-the-legacy-of-traditional-witchcraft-book-lee-morgan-9781780995496?sku=GOR006392626Radical Elphame podcastKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

Hypervigilance doesn't come from wanting control.It comes from realizing—often too early—that no one else was going to handle it.After divorce, many women find themselves overanalyzing everything: conversations, tone shifts, finances, social dynamics, parenting decisions, other people's moods. Not because they're anxious by nature—but because their bodies learned that vigilance was the price of stability.In this episode of Dear Divorce Diary, we name the real cost of being the only adult in the room.You'll hear why:Hypervigilance is a role your body took on when things became unstableOveranalyzing doesn't calm anxiety—it quietly feeds it until it erupts laterControl is often a substitute for safety, not a sign of strengthLetting go isn't about trust-falling into uncertainty—it requires somewhere safe to landExhaustion, resentment, and panic are downstream effects of never being able to stand downWe also talk honestly about why healing can't happen in isolation—and why many women have to outgrow environments, relationships, and identities that once felt necessary but now feel depleting.To close the episode, we share Small Wins, Big Shifts—real listener moments where control loosened just enough for relief, clarity, and trust to return. Not because everything worked out—but because they stopped carrying it alone.If you've been living in constant readiness…and rest feels unavailable…if your mind never fully turns off…This episode will help you understand why—and what it actually takes to change it.If you're craving a room where you don't have to explain yourself, you're invited to join Cocoon, our free community on the Heartbeat app. The link is in the show notes.You don't need more control.You need support.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: (@dawnwiggins)Instagram: (@coachtiffini)On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.comA podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.Support the show✨Join the Cocoon Community - your people are waiting! ✨ Stress-Less Flower Essence

If someone has ever told you to calm down after divorce—and it made everything inside you feel louder, sharper, or more volatile—you're not broken.You're responding to a loss of connection.In this Thursday Panel Rant, Dawn and the crew get cheeky, honest, and deeply real about why “calm down” is one of the fastest ways to shut a woman down—and why it so often backfires in relationships after divorce.This episode explores:Why being told to calm down often feels like being told your feelings are inconvenientHow emotional suppression turns into explosive anger laterThe link between anxiety, anger, and broken trust after divorceHow gaslighting and dismissal train women to doubt their own realityThe difference between nervous system discomfort from growth vs. true emotional unsafetyWhy anger isn't the problem—it's informationThe panel also weaves in the concept of Martin Buber's I–Thou relationship dynamic—reminding us that real connection requires honoring both people's lived experience, not just managing the loudest discomfort in the room.Because here's the truth:Women don't need to calm down.They need to feel seen, understood, and safe enough to tell the truth.Instead of asking yourself to be quieter, smaller, or easier to handle, this episode invites a different question:What feels unsafe right now—for me, or for them?That question—asked with honesty instead of judgment—is often where regulation actually begins.This is not a polished episode.It's a lived one.A little ranty.A little funny.And deeply validating for any woman who was taught to silence herself to survive.Welcome to Panel Rant Thursday.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: (@dawnwiggins)Instagram: (@coachtiffini)On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.comA podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.Support the show✨Join the Cocoon Community - your people are waiting! ✨ Stress-Less Flower Essence

What if this life after divorce never gets better?What if this is just how it is now?What he ruined everything? What if I can't be healed?If those thoughts have been looping in your mind after divorce, this episode is for you.In the Season 5 premiere of Dear Divorce Diary, we're opening a powerful six-week series devoted to naming the thing under the thing—the deeper, often invisible forces that keep women stuck in anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion after divorce.And today, we begin with one of the scariest experiences of all:the fear that the way you feel right now is permanent.Here's what most of us have never realized:Those thoughts aren't coming from weakness or fear.They're coming from a nervous system trying its best to keep you afloat while you're completely collapsed.In this episode, we're not fixing anxiety—we're explaining it.Because understanding what your body is doing is often the first moment it finally exhales.In this episode, we explore:Why divorce anxiety often intensifies after the divorce is finalThe difference between panic… and the deeper fear of permanenceHow anxiety gets mistaken for identity—and why that mattersWhat happens when trust has been wounded by loss, betrayal, or overwhelmWhy solutions often arrive from places you never could have predictedHow protective, pessimistic parts can reject help—and how to soften that patternYou'll also hear personal stories from Dawn, Joy, and Tiffini about moments when they couldn't see a way forward—until something unexpected showed up and changed everything.And at the end of the episode, we debut a new community segment: ✨ Small Wins, Big Shifts ✨ where we share listener-submitted moments that prove healing after divorce doesn't have to be dramatic to be real.If you've been afraid that this feeling will never end… If you've wondered whether you'll ever trust yourself—or life—again… Let this episode remind you:Nothing you're feeling means you're broken. It means your system learned how to survive.And survival is not the end of the story.

This is not a lesson about divorce healing.It's not advice.It's a pause.Day 12 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas is simply a blessing—offered to you exactly as you are.If these last 12 days stirred grief, relief, exhaustion, hope, or something you can't quite name, this episode is here to hold that with you.No fixing.No reframing.No pushing forward.Just a few quiet moments of being witnessed.You've been strong longer than you should have had to be.You've carried more than most people ever saw.And nothing about what you needed was wrong.As we step into a new year, this is our prayer for you:That you feel chosen.That you feel wanted.That your nervous system learns what safety feels like again.And that you remember—you were never meant to do this alone.Let yourself rest here.

If New Year's resolutions have never worked for you...especially after divorce, it's not because you lack discipline, motivation, or follow-through.It's because the version of you who survived divorce is not wired to safely become the woman you're trying to create.After divorce, most women try to change their lives by changing their behavior.But behavior never sticks when the nervous system doesn't feel safe expanding.In this New Year's Day episode, we break down why resolutions fail specifically after divorce—and what actually creates change instead.We talk about:Why “New Year, New You” language backfires on a nervous system shaped by lossHow inherited roles, survival strategies, and emotional suppression block capacityThe real reason desire alone isn't enough to create changeWhy your brain will offer a thousand excuses—and why that doesn't mean you're failingWhat permission has to do with confidence, worthiness, and follow-throughYou'll be guided through a powerful journaling exercise we call the New Year Permission Slip—not focused on what you want, but on who you're willing to become to receive it.Because the woman who calls in a fuller life after divorce:has more capacityfeels safer being seentrusts herself more deeplyand no longer abandons herself to stay comfortableAnd she doesn't arrive by accident.

New Year's Eve has a way of turning self-criticism up to full volume after divorce.The comparisons.The sense that you should be further along.The quiet question of what's wrong with me that this still hurts?If you find yourself being unusually hard on yourself today, this episode isn't here to tell you to “think positive” or try harder.It's here to explain why this happens—and what your nervous system is actually doing when self-doubt takes over.In this episode, we talk about:Why divorce retrains your nervous system to scan for failure instead of progressWhy pride and self-validation feel uncomfortable or even unsafe for so many womenHow New Year's Eve amplifies comparison, loneliness, and internal pressureA simple practice to help your system start noticing what is workingThis is not about forcing confidence or pretending you're okay.It's about understanding why self-criticism shows up when safety feels fragile—and how to interrupt the spiral without shaming yourself for being in it.

In this Day 8 episode of 12 Days of Divorce Christmas, Coach Tiffini joins me to unpack what actually happens inside your nervous system when you try to bring old traditions into a new life after divorce...especially in this in-between week between the holidays and the New Year.Through an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, we talk about the protective parts that step in when traditions carry grief, memory, and expectation. Not because you're doing it wrong—but because your system may not feel safe enough yet to repeat what once belonged to a different life.This isn't about mindset. It's not about trying harder. And it's not about forcing yourself to “make it meaningful.”It's about understanding why recreating traditions after divorce can backfire—and how to stop fighting the resistance long enough to listen to what your body is actually asking for.If the holidays after divorce feel emotionally confusing, muted, or harder than you expected—especially as New Year approaches—this episode will help you make sense of that without judging yourself or rushing the process.Your nervous system is doing exactly what it's designed to do.Join Dear Divorce Diary Premium to access the full 12 Days of Divorce Christmas.Capacity builds in connection.

How ya doing babe? We're on day 7 of "The 12 Days of Becoming HER Again" and it's all pretty raw.Today we're talking about loneliness after divorce...not as something to fix or outrun, but as something that moves in waves.For many women, loneliness doesn't stay constant. It rises. It crests. And when it hits, it can feel overwhelming.In this episode, Joy and I talk about:Why loneliness after divorce often comes in wavesHow many women try to drown it out instead of ride itThe difference between feeling lonely and being unsafeWhat actually helps when the wave risesWhy resisting loneliness often makes it strongerHow to stay present without collapsing into itThis conversation is about learning how to ride the loneliness wave — letting it move through you without letting it take you under.You don't have to force yourself to feel better. You don't have to make it mean something about your worth. You just need a way to stay with yourself when it shows up.If loneliness has been hitting hard this holiday season, this episode is for you.

Today's convo is about a specific kind of holiday pain after divorce... the Christmas cards knowing exactly how to **send you.The smiling families.The matching outfits.The quiet comparison that starts to creep in and makes you feel like you no longer belong to the world you used to be part of.In this episode, Joy and I talk about:Why Christmas cards trigger comparison so deeply after divorceHow performance culture keeps women disconnected from themselvesThe grief of rebuilding your life in truth while others appear “settled”Why comparison pulls you off your own healing pathWhat it means to shift from me vs. them to me vs. meWhy becoming yourself can feel lonelier before it feels betterWe also offer a simple, creative practice for working with the cards themselves...not from bitterness, but from transformation (well maybe a little from bitterness) as a way to reclaim your power and your perspective.This episode isn't about pretending the comparison doesn't hurt. It's about choosing not to let it delay your becoming.If the Christmas cards have been making you feel like an outsider this season, come hang with us!Join Dear Divorce Diary Premium to access the full 12 Days of Divorce Christmas.Or stay with us here today — and come back tomorrow.Capacity builds in connection.

If you're here today, it means your kids aren't with you...and that absence lands in the body, not just the heart.This episode is for the moms navigating holidays, weekends, or long stretches without their children after divorce. The quiet. The ache. The way your nervous system doesn't know where to settle when the people you're bonded to aren't home.Joy shares from lived experience what it's like to be deeply, trauma-bonded to your children — through pregnancy, birth, illness, caregiving, and survival — and then suddenly have to function without them physically present.In this conversation, we talk about:Why missing your kids after divorce can feel physically destabilizingHow maternal bonding and trauma bonding affect the nervous systemThe urge to stay busy, numb out, or dissociate — and why that makes senseWhat actually helped during the hardest hours (movement, EFT tapping, nature, structure)Why “doing nothing” can feel unbearable — and what to do insteadA simple candle ritual to honor the bond when your kids aren't with youHow to stay connected without collapsing or abandoning yourselfThis episode is not about fixing the grief or rushing you through it. It's about staying present with the truth that their bodies may be absent — but their love is not.If you're missing your kids today, you don't have to disappear to survive it. You're allowed to grieve and stay with yourself.

Christmas after divorce can hit your body before your mind ever catches up.You can know logically that other people's celebrations have nothing to do with you—and still feel the ache, the comparison, the quiet grief in your chest when you wake up.Today's episode is different.This is a short quantum healing track designed to help your nervous system release the emotional charge that gets activated when you imagine other families celebrating—and then turn back toward your own reality.Quantum healing works by bringing awareness to how your body responds to emotional contrast, then gently clearing the stored stress response without forcing positivity or bypassing grief.By the end of this track, many women notice: – less heaviness in the chest – a softening of comparison and loneliness – a calmer, more grounded nervous system – more space to meet Christmas Day as it actually isNo fixing. No reframing. Just relief.Press play when you're somewhere quiet and let your body do what it already knows how to do.Join Dear Divorce Diary Premium to access the full 12 Days of Divorce Christmas.Capacity builds in connection.

Foot Drop Solutions After Stroke Without an AFO: Ken Kerns' “New Way to Walk” (Plus Aphasia Recovery After a 10-Day Coma) Ken Kerns didn't just wake up from a stroke. He woke up from a 10-day medically induced coma after an AVM brain hemorrhage, facing a reality that would shake anyone's identity: right-side paralysis, aphasia, and the exhausting work of rebuilding everyday life from scratch. And then, because stroke recovery loves a twist, one of the nurses kept calling him Frank. That moment might sound funny now, but in the early days of brain injury, it landed like a true identity crisis. Ken would later turn that experience into a book title: Anything But Frank—and into a bigger message that matters for every survivor and caregiver: recovery isn't one problem to solve. It's dozens. And you solve them one by one. This episode covers the full story (AVM, coma, aphasia, purpose). But it also includes something many survivors are actively searching for: foot drop solutions after stroke without an AFO—specifically, a practical tool Ken found that helped reduce falls and made walking feel more natural again. The day everything changed: an AVM hemorrhage at home Ken's stroke happened early in the COVID era, when work had shifted home and hospitals were under intense strain. He was preparing for a meeting when he went to the bathroom and collapsed. His wife, Carrie, couldn't open the door—he'd fallen behind it. She called emergency services. Ken has no memory of those moments. Like many survivors, he had to rebuild the story from what others told him. What followed was terrifying uncertainty. A neurosurgeon reviewed imaging and initially feared a tumor (Ken had a history of kidney cancer years earlier). Carrie was allowed into the emergency room to say goodbye because it wasn't clear Ken would survive surgery. But in surgery, the cause became clear: an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The surgeon removed it, and Ken was placed into a medically induced coma for 10 days. Aphasia: when your brain is fast… and your mouth won't cooperate When Ken woke, his deficits were immediate and brutal: Paralyzed on the right side Unable to speak Had to relearn swallowing Severe aphasia that improved over time One of the most honest parts of Ken's story is how confusing aphasia can feel from the inside. Ken described it like this: his cognition is there, answers are forming—yet the “path” to speech is obstructed. “My brain works much faster than my mouth.” “There used to be a direct path… and now that path is worn… covered by weeds.” That metaphor matters because it reframes aphasia as a communication access issue—not a lack of intelligence. Ken found a major turning point through a Minnesota-based communication group: Minnesota Connect Aphasia Now (MNCAN). Practicing weekly conversations (with support from a speech-language pathologist) rebuilt something more than words. It rebuilt confidence. He went from relying on Carrie to order food or check in at airports… to speaking up again in real-world settings. And eventually, he didn't just participate—he stepped into leadership and became president of the board. If you're living with aphasia, this is one of the most powerful “hidden wins” in recovery: you don't have to wait until speech is perfect to start practicing in the world. “Anything But Frank”: identity, emotion, and meaning after stroke In the hospital, a nurse repeatedly called Ken “Frank.” It sounds like a paperwork mistake—but for someone fresh out of coma, it triggered fear and confusion: Did I die? Am I someone else? Who will I FaceTime? When the iPad finally turned around and he saw Carrie, he cried—not from sadness, but relief. Later, Ken's siblings did what siblings do: they turned the story into a running joke. They called him Frank. Ken's response became a line that carried him forward: Call me anything but Frank. That phrase became the title of his book and a symbol of what recovery often is: reclaiming identity while your body and brain renegotiate who you are. Ken also spoke candidly about emotional recovery. In rehab, he felt intense anger—then shifted into a daily question that gave him structure: “Guide my day. Show me the purpose.” Whether you share Ken's faith or not, the takeaway is universal: When recovery feels chaotic, survivors need a meaningful frame to keep going. Foot drop solutions after stroke without an AFO: the “new way to walk” Ken found Foot drop is one of those stroke problems that seems “small” until it isn't. It can quietly steal independence through trips, falls, and fear—especially on stairs, uneven ground, and (in Ken's case) Minnesota snow and ice. Ken described classic foot drop challenges: Difficulty lifting the foot Frequent falls Trouble on the stairs Reduced confidence walking He used an ankle-foot orthotic (AFO), which helped. But later, he discovered a product that—for him—became a workable AFO alternative: Cadence shoes. Ken's experience was specific and practical: The shoe design helped his foot glide during the swing phase Then grip when the weight shifted forward He reported no falls since wearing them He said he no longer needed his AFO He felt stair descent improved because the shoe gripped rather than sliding off the step This is crucial: this isn't “one weird trick.” It's a tool that matched Ken's exact pattern of movement, environment, and needs. If you're exploring foot drop solutions, here's the smart way to use Ken's story: Treat tools as experiments, not guarantees Trial safely (with your physio/OT if possible) Test on the surfaces that actually challenge you (stairs, carpet edges, outdoor paths) Measure results: falls, near-falls, fatigue, confidence, walking speed Ken also used another independence tool: a left-foot accelerator to return to driving while his right ankle remained immobile. That's a reminder that “walking recovery” isn't only rehab—it's also smart adaptation. What to take from Ken's story (even if your stroke was different) Ken's recovery wasn't a straight line. It was many small wins, stacked over time. If you're in the thick of it, consider this simple plan: Name the real problem (not “I'm broken,” but “I trip when my foot drags.”) Practice communication in community (groups like MNCAN show what's possible) Choose tools that reduce risk today (falls steal momentum) Rehearse what matters (Ken practiced speeches until they were automatic) Protect your inputs (Ken avoids depressing “poison” media that drains recovery energy) And if you're a caregiver: the biggest gift is often helping your person keep experimenting—without pressure, without shame, and without rushing the timeline. Keep going with the full episode Ken's “new way to walk” is a valuable segment—but the whole episode is the real promise: AVM stroke recovery, aphasia progress, identity rebuilding, and the meaning that can emerge after trauma.

Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas...also known as the 12 Days of Becoming Her Again.Today we're talking about something no one prepares you for after divorce: when the house is too quiet.Not peaceful quiet.Not restful quiet.The kind of quiet that feels heavy, deafening, and impossible to sit in.When the house feels too quiet, most of us instinctively want to:distractdissociateget busyscrolleatspendnumbAnything to avoid being alone with the silence.But today, Joy and I offer a third option...one that doesn't involve running away or forcing yourself to sit still and “process.”We talk about why:Silence after divorce can dysregulate your nervous systemStillness isn't always calming when you're grievingMany women forget how to play, make noise, and take up space when they're aloneAnd then we invite you into something different.This episode is about:Using sound, volume, and movement as nervous system medicineReclaiming your right to be loud in your own homeReleasing stored emotion through music, voice, and playReconnecting to parts of you that were silenced — as a child, as a wife, as a womanThis is not about being productive. It's not about doing healing “right.”It's about aliveness.If the quiet has been breaking you, this episode will help you meet it differently — with energy, humor, and permission to be big.

He picked up a dog along the way, and his journey saw him robbed, threatened, welcomed and exposed to murderous heat and cold.I first wrote to Tim 4 years ago… so we've maintained a very spotty correspondence in anticipation for today. Tim Cope is is an Australian adventurer, author, filmmaker, photographer, expedition guide - a fluent Russian speaker - a bloody good writer and someone generous enough to offer me their time and invite me into their home here in rural Victoria. Timestamps.00:00 - Tim Cope02:50 - The Magic Of The Steppe10:10 - Tim's Coma & Writing13:15 - Tim's Backstory24:50 - On The Trail Of Genghis Khan33:01 - The Eurasian Steppe37:41 - The Decline Of Nomadic Cultures46:27 - Entering Into Kazakhstan & Finding A Dog1:02:55 - Tim's Growing Reputation On The Steppe1:10:50 - Alcoholism On The Steppe1:19:12 - Abandoned Goldmine For The Winter1:38:45 - Prostitution 1:50:00 - Tim's Father Passing Away2:05:46 - Hungary2:12:30 - The Problem Of Fitting Back In2:24:50 - Success & Book Publishing2:31:00 - How Mongolia Has Changed2:44:10 - Tim's Evolving Thoughts On Both Russia & Ukraine

Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Divorce Christmas...also known as the 12 days of becoming her again.If you're listening today, there's a good chance part of you feels like: “I can't do this.” Not the holidays. Not the decisions. Not the weight of doing this alone.This episode isn't here to convince you otherwise.It's here to help you understand that when you feel like you can't, it's not weakness or victimhood — it's a capacity issue, not a character flaw.In today's episode, we talk about:Why feeling like “I can't do this” often means your system is depleted, not brokenHow divorce grief and the holidays quietly drain nervous system capacityWhy being “too strong for too long” eventually leads to collapseWhat actually increases capacity (and what doesn't)A short, gentle vagal breathing practice to help your body downshift in real timeThis is not a big breakthrough episode. It's a grounding episode.Water.Food.Breath.Connection.The basics that matter when everything feels like too much.You don't need to fix your life today.You just need enough capacity to stay present.And today, that's enough.

At four years old, she survived a brutal car accident that left her in a coma—days trapped somewhere between life and death. When she finally opened her eyes, something opened with her. Something that would follow her for the rest of her life. The visions came first—impossible premonitions that played out exactly as she saw them. Then the shadows. The cold touches. The weight on her bed at night. The sense of a presence that didn't just watch… but recognized her. Knew her. And when she, in desperation, scribbled a Ouija board onto notebook paper, she had no idea she wasn't reaching out to the dead—she was inviting something far older. But nothing compared to the night the old soldier appeared—an apparition in full uniform pressing warnings into her thoughts. Warnings she ignored… until she discovered the uniform was real. The soldier was real. And the presence she felt was no accident. #paranormal #ghoststory #truehaunting #hauntedlife #ouijaboard #premonition #pastlife #witchtrials #shadowpeople #possessions #realghosts #creepy Love real ghost stories?
