Ever catch yourself wondering why you’re still healing, even years after your divorce? There’s a reason for that and it goes deeper than you think.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with divorce recovery coach Leah Mazur to unpack what really happens after divorce—the hidden emotional and physical toll that lingers long after the paperwork is done. We talk about how to move from survival mode to feeling safe again, tools to manage co-parenting triggers, and how to make self-care realistic when life already feels full.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated that healing is taking longer than you thought it would, this episode is for you.
