E:92: After My Divorce, God Showed Me Why I Kept Attracting the Same Man
2w ago00:12:02Tap to summarizeReady to stop repeating the pattern? I built something for you. It's called Roots, and it's free. It's a devotional for the woman who doesn't quite know who to trust right now — and is ready to find out how God is hers to lean on. Download it HERE. After my divorce, I made a decision. I was going to choose differently. I was going to see the red flags, name the patterns, and walk away. And for a while — I did. And then I didn't. Same dynamic. Different man. In this episode I walk through why the pattern keeps repeating — and it has nothing to do with your taste in men or your failure to try hard enough. It has everything to do with what you believe you are allowed to receive. I share a conversation with one of my closest friends that led to a realization I was not expecting: I am not worried at all about how or when I will meet the right person. Not because I gave up. Because I finally understood something I had never known before — God does not need my help making that happen. He needs my willingness. And that is a completely different posture.

2w ago00:17:08Tap to summarizeReady to break the cycle — for you and for them? Apply for coaching → coachkatieanne.com/call I spent years believing I was protecting my children by staying in my marriage. I knew what divorce had cost me as a child, so staying felt like love. What I didn't understand is that a high-conflict intact home creates the same wounds in children as a high-conflict divorce. The structure doesn't protect them. What lives inside the people running it does. In this episode, I share the moment my daughter said seven words that collapsed everything I believed about why I had stayed. And I walk through what God showed me in Deuteronomy and Hebrews about what we actually pass to our children — and what it takes to break the cycle. This is not an episode about whether you should have left. It is about what you do now. This is not to promote or encourage divorce, but to remind those who have already walked through it that their circumstance is not the only factor to determine the emotional well-being of their children. God can redeem anything, and if you are struggling to heal post divorce, or concerned about the impact it is having on your children, this episode is for you Scripture Anchor: Deuteronomy 6:5-7 · Hebrews 12:10-11 Apply for coaching: coachkatieanne.com/call If this helped you, subscribe and leave a review.

3w ago00:13:51Tap to summarizeReady to stop chasing false love? Apply for coaching → coachkatieanne.com/call After my divorce, I kept reaching for love. In relationships. In achievement. In how hard I worked and how much I gave. What God showed me is that what I was reaching for was not love — it was a version of love that looked and felt like the real thing but could never actually do what love is supposed to do. In this episode I walk through what love actually is, where it actually comes from, and why the source changes every single thing downstream. Not as theology. As the lived experience of a divorced woman who finally stopped looking in the wrong places. This episode is for every woman who has loved hard, given everything, and still woken up feeling empty.

4w ago00:17:00Tap to summarizeReady to stop building on an identity that can't hold? Apply for coaching → coachkatieanne.com/call You can do everything right after your divorce — make better choices, grow in your faith, work on yourself, become genuinely different from who you were — and still find that the foundation underneath you is the same unstable ground it has always been. That is not a healing problem. That is a root problem. In this episode, I'm sharing a speech I gave to a room full of high-achieving women — and knew immediately that I had to bring it here. Because the woman I was speaking to in that room was you. We go through three roots — identity, worth, and belief — and what it looks like when each one is planted in the wrong ground. Not in theory. In the specific, felt experience of a woman who is capable, driven, and still somehow feels like she is chasing a version of herself she cannot quite catch. If you are tired of rebuilding and still not arriving — this is the episode that names why. And what changes when you finally plant yourself in the right ground.

4w ago00:12:48Tap to summarizeReady to put it down? Apply for coaching → coachkatieanne.com/call After my divorce I held everything together. And for a long time I thought that was God working through me. What He showed me is that some of it was — and some of it was me quietly refusing to need Him. I was self-sufficient in my own sufficiency. Not His. In this episode I walk through the Amplified Classic translation of Philippians 4:13 that Derek Prince taught from, why most of us have been quoting this verse wrong, and what it looks like to finally stop generating a strength that was never meant to come from you. If you are a divorced Christian woman who is tired of holding it all together alone — this episode gives you permission to exhale.

What I didn’t see is that I was also handing my power to my ex every single day — delaying decisions, waiting on his cooperation, organizing my life around his next move. I didn’t choose that consciously. It was just running in the background. In this episode I walk through the seven-word question God asked me that shut the autopilot off. And why 1 John 4:4 is not a motivational poster — it is a Tuesday-afternoon instruction for every decision you are making right now. If you are a divorced Christian woman who is exhausted by a life still organized around someone who already left it — this episode is for you.

Apply for coaching → coachkatieanne.com/call After my divorce, I was convinced I was ready for a godly relationship. I had done the work. The case for my own readiness was strong. What I did not see is that I was building a case — not asking a question. And underneath all of that real, sincere preparation was a question I had never stopped to ask: God, is this the season You are calling me into? Or is this the season I have decided it is? In this episode I walk through the story of Ruth with the cultural context most of us never learned — not to show you how to find your Boaz, but to show you what Ruth built before he ever looked up.

Apply for coaching → coachkatieanne.com/call After my divorce, I kept arriving at the same pain. Different person. Different hope. Same destination. I used to tell myself loneliness was the hardest part. What God showed me is that nothing is more painful than giving yourself to someone who cannot recognize your worth. And more than that — I was the common denominator. That is the best news I ever received about my own life. In this episode I walk through two women: the one who keeps reaching for relationships, and the one who has shut that door and turned toward her children instead. Both are running the same pattern. And both are asking people to carry what only God can hold.

What it cost me. I thought that was honesty. What God showed me is that a story centered on what was done to you has no room for what He has done through it. In this episode I walk through the Christus Victor theology, the etymology of the word victim, and Proverbs 23:7 to show you why the way you tell your story is producing who you are becoming — and how to tell the whole truth.
