Do your relationships keep triggering old wounds? In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wife's Club, therapist Melissa Lapides breaks down how anxious and avoidant attachment styles show up after divorce—and how to finally heal them.Whether you're newly divorced, co-parenting, or opening your heart to love again, this conversation will help you stop repeating painful patterns and reclaim your emotional power.
Have you ever noticed how the quiet moments hit hardest after divorce? When the kids go to their dad's house or when night falls and you're left alone with your thoughts, your mind can start spinning with memories, logistics, and the weight of your new reality. The Slow Body Swivel practice introduced in this episode offers a gentle alternative to the distractions we typically reach for like social media doom scrolling, checking out, or having that extra glass of wine. This powerful grounding technique helps create capacity in your nervous system to handle challenges without feeling overwhelmed. Creating nervous system capacity isn't about eliminating negative emotions or always being in perfect alignment. It's about developing the ability to handle life's challenges during divorce and beyond without feeling incapable. Through regular practice, you can build this capacity, allowing yourself to stay present with your emotions rather than getting lost in rumination or looking for that easy escape.

Are you over 40 and feeling stuck in the messy middle of divorce recovery?
Stepping back into the dating world after a long marriage and painful divorce can feel overwhelming. The landscape has changed, your confidence may feel shaky, and it's easy to carry old fears and insecurities with you. But what if dating after divorce wasn't about pressure or “finding the one”? What if it was an invitation to rediscover yourself? In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Julie Ferman, a professional matchmaker and dating coach with over 30 years of experience, who has helped create more than 1,400 success story couples. Together, we explore how to uncover your blind spots—the hidden beliefs and patterns that quietly hold you back—and how to approach dating with curiosity, confidence, and intention. Julie shares practical insights like the three-date rule, the importance of authentic communication, and how to enjoy the process rather than fear it. What makes Julie's approach so powerful is that it's not just about meeting someone new—it's about transforming how you see yourself in relationships and in life. This is your opportunity to grow, heal, and reconnect with your own desires while opening the door to meaningful connections. If you're ready to approach dating after divorce with a fresh perspective, this episode will give you the clarity, tools, and encouragement to begin. Remember, this next chapter isn't only about finding love with someone else—it's about falling back in love with yourself.

What if your parents' divorce didn't just split your family—but left you quietly carrying the blame?Most people think the hardest part of divorce is the day it happens.

Letting go of a long-term relationship can feel like losing a lifetime investment, leaving you with grief, resentment, and confusion about how to move forward. Divorce often stirs old wounds and unconscious beliefs formed in childhood, patterns that resurface in marriage and make the ending feel even more painful. Many people believe it will take years of hard work to heal, but what if there was a way to shift your emotional state and release that pain far more quickly? In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Sanaiyah Gurnamal, a Master ThetaHealer and founder of House of Healing in Dubai. Sanaiyah shares how ThetaHealing works at the subconscious level to dissolve limiting beliefs, heal attachment wounds, and release grief stored in both the body and mind. Together, we explore why cognitive understanding alone isn't enough, how energetic transformation can unlock freedom, and why letting go of the “investment mindset” is essential to moving beyond the past. I also share my personal experience with ThetaHealing and the profound shifts I experienced in a single session. This conversation is both practical and deeply hopeful, offering insight into how you can begin letting go of resentment, shame, and guilt—even if forgiveness feels out of reach. Whether you're in the midst of divorce or still holding on to the pain of a past relationship, this episode will help you see what's possible when you release old stories and open the door to clarity, confidence, and peace.

Are you are over 40 struggling to find your footing after divorce? You're not alone—and this episode of the Divorce Devil Podcast is for you. Join hosts David and Rachel as they get brutally honest about the raw, messy, and totally normal emotions people face during and after divorce.Divorce is like a tidal wave, especially when it happens later in life. In this episode, we open up about everything we wish someone had told us when we were in the thick of it: the loneliness, the loss of old friends, the awkwardness of new beginnings, and why it's okay to grieve—even if you were the one who left.We talk about:The early days: Why it feels like your whole world is upside down, and how to survive when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.Friendship shake-ups: Losing old friends, finding out who really has your back, and why support sometimes comes from the most unexpected places.The guilt and shame spiral: Feeling like you "failed," dealing with identity shifts, and learning you're more than just someone's ex.Loneliness vs. being alone: How to tell the difference, and ways to start enjoying your own company again.Grief triggers: Birthdays, holidays, and milestones that can hit you out of nowhere—and how to handle them without falling down the rabbit hole.Parenting through pain: The hardest parts of co-parenting, missing your kids, and how to take care of yourself so you can be there for them.Setting new boundaries: Learning who lifts you up and who drags you down, and why it's okay to say no (but also, why you should say yes sometimes!).Finding hope: Yes, it gets better—even if you can't see the rainbow yet. Baby steps, real talk, and reminders that healing is possible.
Healing after betrayal and navigating divorce recovery isn't just about leaving a marriage — it's about rebuilding yourself from the inside out, learning to co-parent with grace, and discovering that you're stronger than you ever imagined.In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I sit down with Kristin, host of Let's Grow Through It, to talk about her raw and powerful journey through infidelity, divorce, and ultimately, self-love. From the devastating discovery of her husband's affair, to finding her footing as a single mom, to embracing forgiveness (yes — even with “the other woman”), Kristin shares what it really looks like to turn heartbreak into healing.Together, we unpack the messy reality of divorce, the importance of doing the inner work, and how creating her “divorce bucket list” became the first step toward transformation.Whether you're in the thick of betrayal, navigating custody and co-parenting, or trying to rediscover who you are beyond your marriage, this conversation is filled with hope, hard truths, and a reminder that your comeback story is waiting to be written.
Are you over 40, newly single, and wondering if you're really ready to dive back into the dating world?
When co-parenting feels impossible because of constant conflict, there is another way. It's called parallel parenting—a structure designed for high-conflict divorce that reduces interaction, sets clear boundaries, and allows both parents to focus on their children's wellbeing. In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I'm joined by Randi Karmel, PLLC, a family law attorney, mediator, and parent coordinator with decades of experience helping families navigate custody disputes, substance abuse cases, and complex parenting dynamics. Randi and I explore how to create a parallel parenting plan that actually works. We talk about what must be included in your legal agreement, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to handle the inevitable gray areas that come with real life. You'll also hear why having a parent coordinator can be a game-changer in easing ongoing conflict. If you're facing high-conflict divorce or struggling with parenting arrangements, this episode will give you practical tools to reduce stress, minimize court battles, and prioritize your child's emotional safety.
