200. Will My Kids Be OK After Divorce? A Daughter Answers/ Part 2
1w ago00:31:18Tap to summarizeIn Part 2 of this deeply personal and powerful conversation, my daughter, McKenna, continues sharing her perspective of growing up through divorce, betrayal, emotional pain, healing, and family repair.This episode moves beyond the fear many parents carry and into something deeper: what actually helped a child heal.Together, we explore the realities children often face silently during divorce and family trauma — navigating loyalty binds, emotional overwhelm, parentification, confusion, grief, and the pressure to carry emotions that were never theirs to hold.McKenna vulnerably shares what was helpful, what was harmful, and what she wishes parents understood while navigating separation and healing.This conversation covers:The emotional weight children can carry after divorceParentification and emotional dumping on childrenWhy children should not become the emotional support system for parentsThe difference between honesty and oversharingHelping children process difficult truths in emotionally healthy waysTherapy, healing resources, and emotional support systems for kidsHow children learn healthy vs unhealthy relationship patternsThe impact of watching a parent do their own healing workLetting children form their own relationship with the other parentFear, control, custody, and trusting children’s inner wisdomThe importance of continuing to show up for your children, even imperfectlyHow children develop resilience through healing and supportOne of the most meaningful moments in this episode is the reminder that children are not looking for perfect parents. They are looking for safety, honesty, consistency, and parents willing to keep growing.McKenna also shares an incredibly important perspective for fathers who may feel discouraged, disconnected, or afraid they’ve damaged the relationship beyond repair: do not stop reaching out. Children still need to know they are loved.________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to join interest listhttps://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

2w ago00:45:33Tap to summarizeWhat is it really like for children growing up in a home impacted by betrayal, emotional abuse, addiction, and divorce?In this deeply vulnerable episode, Alana Gordon and I sit down with a very special guest — My oldest daughter, McKenna — to hear firsthand what the experience was like from the child’s perspective.Together, we explore the emotional realities children often carry silently: sensing tension in the home, questioning their own intuition, navigating loyalty binds between parents, and learning how to process grief, fear, confusion, and attachment wounds during and after divorce.McKenna openly shares her journey through family transition, therapy, healing, and the powerful impact of emotional safety, honesty, and healthy support systems.This conversation brings hope to parents who fear:“Will my kids be okay?”“Did I damage them?”“Am I making the right decision?”“How do I support my children while healing myself?”We also discuss:The hidden impact children feel in emotionally unsafe homesWhy children often sense more than parents realizeHow gaslighting can unintentionally happen within familiesThe importance of validating a child’s emotional realityThe role therapy played in healing the family systemEmotional hypervigilance and parentified childrenHow children process divorce differently at different agesThe difference children feel when abuse leaves the homeWhy emotionally safe homes matter more than “perfect” homesOne of the most powerful themes in this episode is the reminder that children do not need perfect parents. They need emotionally safe parents willing to grow, repair, and create space for truth and healing.McKenna’s story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible — not just for parents, but for children too.Divorce and childrenBetrayal trauma and family systemsEmotional abuse and attachmentParentification and hypervigilanceEmotional safety in the homeHealing family relationshipsBoundaries, validation, and trustParenting through divorce and recovery__________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to join interest listhttps://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

3w ago00:38:42Tap to summarizeWhat happens when your children don’t understand — or even resist — your healing journey?In this deeply honest conversation, Alana Gordon and I explore the painful and complicated reality many parents face after divorce, betrayal, addiction, or relational trauma: trying to heal while navigating disconnection, anger, or distance from their children.We talk about the instinct to over explain, defend ourselves, or try to convince our kids to “see” our growth… and why that often comes from our own attachment wounds and fear of losing connection.This episode dives into:Why children may pull away from the parent who feels safestAttachment dynamics after divorce and betrayalThe subconscious fear of “losing” your childrenHow overexplaining can unintentionally block connectionThe importance of staying in your own control bubbleWhy validating your child’s experience mattersBoundaries with children without abandoning connectionSupporting children without emotionally collapsing yourselfThe difference between healthy boundaries and emotional cutoffsAllowing children space for their own process and agencyParenting adult children through grief, change, and transitionHow healing parents model emotional maturity for future generationsWe also talk about the reality that children — even adult children — are navigating their own grief, attachment wounds, and identity shifts during and after divorce. Their reactions are not always a reflection of your worth or your healing.If you are in the painful space of feeling misunderstood, rejected, or disconnected from your children while trying to rebuild your life, this episode is for you.You are not failing because this is hard.You are learning how to love without controlling, how to stay connected without abandoning yourself, and how to create safety from the inside out.___________________________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to be informed when next workshop is available!https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

Transcribe →BONUS EPISODE: Dating After Betrayal: How to Trust Yourself Again
May 2400:20:45Tap to summarizeDating From Within June 11th-13thhttps://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-pageAfter betrayal, abuse, and divorce, I see so many women become hyperfocused on learning every red flag, analyzing behaviors, and trying to figure out who is safe and who is not. But healing and healthy dating are not built from hypervigilance alone. In this bonus episode, I talk about why the real shift in dating after betrayal happens from the inside out.I explore how betrayal trauma disconnects women from their own body, intuition, needs, and discernment—and why reconnecting to yourself is the foundation of future healthy relationships. I break down the difference between externally scanning for danger versus internally learning to trust yourself again.In this episode, I discuss:Why many women don’t actually miss red flags—they override themHow nervous system survival patterns impact dating after betrayalThe difference between hypervigilance and discernmentWhy self-trust and body connection matter more than perfect detection skillsHow emotional manipulation and gaslighting train women to disconnect from themselvesWhat it means to “date yourself” before dating someone elseHow to stop abandoning your needs in order to preserve connectionWhy becoming the chooser changes everything in future relationshipsI also share practical ways to begin rebuilding self-trust, reconnecting to your body, and creating a dating experience rooted in awareness, acceptance, and agency rather than fear and survival.This episode is also an invitation to the upcoming Dating From Within Workshop happening June 11–13, created specifically for women healing from betrayal trauma, abuse, and divorce who want to approach dating and relationships differently moving forward.______________Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to registerhttps://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

Transcribe →194. How to Talk to Your Kids About Divorce — Even Years Later
May 2101:06:14Tap to summarizeDivorce is not a one-time conversation with your children.It is an ongoing relationship conversation that unfolds over months, years, and different stages of development.Whether you are preparing to talk to your children about separation, recently divorced, or years down the road and still navigating hard questions, this episode offers guidance for staying steady in those moments.Many parents carry enormous pressure to say the right thing, avoid causing harm, or protect their children from pain. But what children need most is not perfection—it is presence, honesty, and emotional safety.In this episode, I walk through what actually helps children adjust to divorce and how to respond when new questions arise long after the initial transition. We talk about how to stay grounded when emotions run high, how to answer difficult questions about the other parent, and how to support your child’s nervous system through ongoing change.You will also hear reassurance that repair matters. Even if conversations didn’t happen in the “ideal” way at the beginning, trust can still be rebuilt over time.This conversation is for any parent who wants to show up as the steady, safe place for their child—no matter where they are in the divorce journey.This episode is especially helpful if you:Are preparing to tell your children about divorceRecently separated or divorcedHave been divorced for years and your child is asking new questionsAre navigating co-parenting challengesFeel pressure to “get the conversation right”Worry about how divorce is affecting your childrenWant to be the steady, safe parent in the middle of uncertainty✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to registerhttps://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

Transcribe →192. When Will It Stop Being So Hard? Owning Your Story
May 700:22:05Tap to summarizeSo many women reach a point in their healing journey where they feel completely exhausted and quietly ask themselves, “I am so done with the hard… when does this get easier?” In this episode, I talk directly to that moment. Not to dismiss the fatigue or tell you to push through it, but to explore why the hard can linger long after the divorce is finalized—and what actually helps it begin to soften.One of the biggest reasons the hard stays stuck is because the story hasn’t been fully named, seen, or spoken. Many women learn to summarize what happened or keep their pain at a safe distance just to function day to day. But healing often begins when you allow yourself to tell the truth about your experience in your own words—without minimizing it, editing it, or protecting others from the reality of what you lived through. In this episode, I walk you through a simple but powerful process: writing your story, seeing it clearly, and speaking it out loud so your nervous system can finally recognize that it was real—and that you survived it.If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, triggered, or stuck in grief, this conversation will help you understand why those feelings make sense and what you can do to start releasing the weight you’ve been carrying. You’ll also hear how owning your story can become the turning point that helps you move from just surviving the hard… to finally feeling some relief.Next week, I’ll be joined by divorce coach Megan Norris as we continue this conversation and explore how owning your story can shape your future in powerful ways._______________✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to registerhttps://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.
