Divorce is exhausting—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. And yet, rest is often the first thing we sacrifice while trying to “hold it all together.”

In this episode, Dana sits down with life and leadership coach Misty Hughes to talk about why rest isn’t optional during or after divorce—it’s essential for healing. Misty shares her personal journey through divorce, motherhood, and rebuilding her life, along with practical wisdom for women who feel overwhelmed, depleted, or stuck in survival mode.

Together, they unpack what real rest looks like (hint: it’s more than sleep), why grief requires personalized rhythms, and how trust, community, and reflection play a vital role in emotional recovery. This conversation is honest, grounding, and permission-giving—especially if you’ve been pushing yourself to “be strong” while quietly running on empty.

If you’re exhausted after divorce and wondering why healing feels so hard, this episode may help you exhale and reset.
