5 Fresh Tips: Trauma-Informed Tips for Divorce Recovery with Chavisa Horemans

Chavisa Horemans [https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/resourceguide/the-mother-corp-trauma-informed-coach-consultant] is a trauma-informed divorce, co-parenting, and chronic health coach who brings together professional credentials, academic training, and lived experience to support women navigating some of life’s most difficult transitions. As the founder of The Mother Corp, Chavisa works primarily with mothers facing high-conflict divorces and gender-based violence, offering a deeply integrative approach rooted in neuroscience, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed principles. Her coaching helps women rebuild their relationship with themselves, cultivate emotional resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence—even in the most complex circumstances. In this episode of 5 Fresh Tips, Chavisa shares five foundational strategies for divorce recovery and starting over after divorce. She opens with the power of trusting yourself, emphasizing that the relationship you have with yourself is the only lifelong relationship you’ll ever have—making self-trust the cornerstone of healing. Her second tip invites listeners to trust their intuition, grounding this advice in brain science: the right hemisphere processes vast amounts of information beyond logic—including where trauma lives—and leaning into that felt sense can be life-changing. Her third tip is to tune into your nervous system, understanding how staying within your “window of tolerance” supports grounded decision-making, co-parenting strategies, and personal safety. Chavisa’s fourth tip focuses on investing in resources—working with a specialized professional to fast-track recovery and avoid prolonged suffering during high-conflict situations. Her fifth and final tip is a practical daily ritual: each morning, identify one concrete action to improve your situation, and each night, affirm that you did everything you could to care for yourself that day. Together, these five tips form a powerful roadmap for emotional healing, self-advocacy, and building a new identity after divorce. Whether you’re in the early stages of separation or working toward a fresh start, this episode delivers actionable single parenting advice and expert-led tools to help you thrive. 🔗 Check out Fresh Starts Registry: The first & only divorce registry + support platform ➡ https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/ 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshstartsregistry/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FreshStartsRegistry 🎙 Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/divorcehappenspod/ 📬 Magazine: https://divorceguidemagazine.com/
