Dating With Intention Post Divorce

I've been married, divorced, and maybe dated a few questionable people in between. Now it’s time for a list—not of my regrets, but of what I actually want in a partner. In this episode, I share my dating checklist that isn’t about perfection—but about clarity. In making a list, I focused on defining my core values, distinguishing between wants and needs, and being determined to stop repeating patterns that didn’t serve me the first time around. I've learned that making a list isn’t shallow—it’s self-respect on paper.

My Decision To Not Have More Kids Post Divorce

After the divorce dust settles, there comes a new kind of freedom — the power to choose what’s next. For me, that means choosing not to have more kids. In this episode, I share my feelings of the relief, the guilt, the clarity, and the joy of embracing life as a one-kid mom who’s done making babies. I also share how I've had to become intentional about my dating life. Deciding to only date men who have children already and if you've had a vasectomy, you might be the perfect man for me. After divorce, we get an opportunity to create the life we want and deserve. It's our body, our life, our choice.

Primary Coparent Fatigue (Reflect and Replay)

In this week's episode I share my journey of coparenting. For some reason, I thought that divorce and coparenting meant complete shared responsibility. I soon realized that although I was now divorced, my role as 'Primary Parent' still remained. All the decision-making and managing our child’s life still falls on me. I quickly became resentful. Even though my responsibilities haven’t changed, our relationship has. I could not expect a show of appreciation or a thank-you. I learned not to expect acknowledgment of all the physical and mental work I put in to make our new dynamic work. Having expectations leads to disappointment. I’ve learned to do what I need to do for our child. If a thank you comes, that’s great. If it doesn’t, it’s not going to stop me from being the best mom I can be.

Phenomenal Woman

As women, we are innately powerful beings. We have the ability to give life and the ability to create the lives we deserve. In this week's episode I share the journey of some of the strongest women in my life, my grandmothers and my mother. The women that came before me didn’t have many options. Growing up in a time when women, especially women of color, lacked access to resources, education and independence. They lived in a time when leaving an unhealthy marriage was nearly impossible. They spent most of their lives enduring instead of living. Because of the women that came before me, I found the courage to choose to live instead of enduring. Through this episode, I hope you are able to find your inner power to do the same.

Facing One Of The Hardest Post Divorce Questions, Why Can’t Daddy Live With Us Anymore?

As a mom, one of the hardest things you may ever do is explain to your child that their family life is about to change — and that they'll be living in two separate homes. In this week's episode, I share how I've handled having this conversation with my son. I've learned that the best thing to do is to validate their feelings, comfort them and leave your feelings out of the conversation. Whether you're just starting this journey or adjusting along the way, this episode is here to remind you: you don’t have to do it perfectly — just with love.
