4w ago00:20:45Tap 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
4w ago01:06:14Tap 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.

Apr 3000:30:13Tap to summarizeAfter divorce—especially after betrayal or a life-saving separation—many women find themselves using one word to describe their experience: alone.But being alone and feeling lonely are not the same thing.In this episode, I talk about the difference between those two experiences and why separating them can be a turning point in healing. I share personal stories about grief that still shows up years later, the quiet moments that test self-trust the most, and why learning to stand inside your own life is one of the most powerful things you can do after divorce.This conversation is not about putting a positive spin on something painful.It’s about telling the truth about grief, honoring the reality of loss, and discovering that being alone can become purposeful—even when it’s not what you chose.If you’ve ever stood in a quiet house, missed partnership, or wondered why the loneliness feels so heavy, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening—and what to do next._______________________✨ 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 →190. Trusting After Betrayal With David Richo PhD
Apr 2300:46:12Tap to summarizeTrust can feel impossible after betrayal.Not just trust in another person, but trust in yourself. Trust in your intuition. Trust in love. Trust in life.In this powerful conversation, I sit down with psychotherapist and author David Richo to explore what trust really is, why trusting again feels so risky after betrayal or divorce, and how rebuilding trust begins from the inside out.We talk about the courage it takes to trust again, the role of self trust in healing, and how strength is not about avoiding pain but knowing you can handle it if it comes. This episode is not about blind trust. It is about grounded trust.The kind that grows from inner strength, emotional maturity, and radical acceptance of reality.About the GuestDavid Richo is a psychotherapist, teacher, and author known for his work on emotional healing, relationships, and mindfulness. His teachings integrate Jungian psychology, Buddhist principles, and decades of clinical experience helping individuals navigate loss, betrayal, and personal growth.His books, including Daring to Trust and When the Past Is Present, focus on building emotional strength, self awareness, and resilience in relationships.Memorable Quotes From This EpisodeTrust is daring because there is always a possibility that someone will disappoint you.We are not looking for someone who will never hurt us. We are looking to become strong enough to handle it.You do not need revenge to move forward. You need strength.Trust is not about controlling outcomes. It is about building inner resources.Resources MentionedDaring to Trust by David RichoWhen the Past Is Present by David RichoThe Five A's of LoveThe Trust CompassThe Five Givens of Lifehttps://davericho.com/_______________________________________________________✨ 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 →189. From Grief to Meaning: The Real Path to Acceptance After Divorce
Apr 1600:23:27Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we continue the conversation from last week by going deeper into one of the most misunderstood parts of the healing process: acceptance. This is not about agreeing with what happened, minimizing the pain, or pretending everything is okay. Acceptance is about acknowledging reality so your energy can begin to shift back into your own life.We explore why acceptance can feel so threatening to the nervous system, why many people stay in grief longer than expected, and how secondary losses after divorce or betrayal trauma can keep you feeling stuck. Most importantly, we talk about how acceptance creates the space for agency to come back online — and how meaning can be built even while the pain is still present.If this episode feels tender or uncomfortable, that is not a sign you are doing anything wrong. It may simply mean that something true was touched.Key TakeawaysAcceptance is acknowledgment, not agreement.You do not have to like reality to accept that it exists.Grief is not linear.You may move forward, backward, and sideways through the stages of grief. That is normal.Secondary losses are real losses.Changes in finances, housing, identity, parenting time, and stability can deeply affect your nervous system and sense of safety.Victimhood is accurate after harm.The problem is not being a victim. The problem is when that becomes the only story available to you.Acceptance creates space for agency.When reality is acknowledged, energy becomes available for choice.Meaning does not replace pain.Meaning grows alongside grief, not instead of it.______________✨ 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.

Apr 900:39:09Tap to summarizeMany women walk away from a marriage knowing deep down they made the right decision, yet still feel overwhelmed by guilt and grief. Especially when children are involved, the emotional weight can feel confusing and heavy.In this episode, I talk about the kind of guilt that doesn’t make logical sense, the sadness that shows up when anger was expected, and why grief after betrayal and divorce is not a flaw in the system.I also share practical ways to separate responsibility from guilt, give grief a safe place to move through the body, and show up for your children while still honoring your own healing.This conversation is for anyone navigating a high conflict divorce, betrayal trauma, or the emotional aftermath of a life-saving divorce.You are not broken for feeling this way.
