Blowing Up Your Life and Business: Finding Power and Clarity After Divorce
Mar 26, 2025
Reclaiming Your True Essence
Divorce is a monumental shift that can leave anyone feeling like their life has been turned upside down. Everything changes – from holiday rituals to support systems, and sometimes, even our sense of self. But here's the kicker: this life-altering event can also be the catalyst for the most profound transformation and self-discovery. Welcome to a journey where you're not just piecing your life back together, but blazing a whole new path. Let's dive into this empowering process of blowing things up, reclaiming our voices, and discovering our true power.
Embrace the Chaos
The journey post-divorce often begins in chaos. It’s messy and emotional, and it can feel like standing in the eye of a storm. The beauty of chaos, though, lies in its ability to strip away the unnecessary, leaving only what truly matters. My guest, KC Volard, spoke brilliantly on the podcast about how letting everything fall apart can actually set the stage for building something extraordinary. It’s a form of liberation – breaking away from societal norms and expectations to carve out a life that authentically reflects who you are.
Find the Calm Within
Before you can start anything new, it’s essential to find a sense of safety and calm within yourself. KC and I shared some great tools to help regulate your nervous system. One of my favorite techniques is the ‘karate chop’ EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), tapping the side of your hand to help calm your mind and body. Another powerful resource is gentle tapping on the rib cage under the nipples. This taps into the vagal nerve, helping your body switch into a state of calmness. These small practices can be a lifeline when emotions threaten to overwhelm you, and they open up space for clarity and self-exploration.
Explore Self-Identity
Once you’ve calmed the storm, it’s time to delve into self-discovery. Ask yourself, "Who am I beneath all the roles I play?" and “What do I truly desire?” The process of knowing and understanding who you are is liberating and necessary. Try this simple exercise: close your eyes, take deep breaths, and scan your body. Identify any sensation – a warmth, a tingling, or even a voice. Sit with it, listen, and open a dialogue with your inner self. This practice not only enhances your awareness but strengthens the relationship with your inner child.
Let Go of the Past
Embracing the present involves letting go of the past, of what could have been, and of relationships that have passed their expiry date. It's important to remember that honoring what was doesn’t mean that you have to hold onto it forever. KC’s journey illustrates that even good things must sometimes be left behind for great things to emerge. Placing your focus on where you are headed, rather than where you've been, will help guide your decisions and actions.
Embrace the New Crazy
Women are often labeled as "crazy" when they express their full emotional spectrum. But this "crazy" is, in fact, your powerful, wild feminine energy. It’s the essence of creativity, abundance, and freedom. Embrace your wild side and let it guide your decisions. Be unafraid to be fully expressed and to chase your dreams, regardless of societal norms. Reclaim your life, your decisions, and know that the path to authenticity is boundless and yours for the taking.
As we continue to navigate life post-divorce, remember that each step is part of the beautiful process of transforming into the person you aspire to be. Let these steps guide you toward embracing change and moving toward a more fulfilled and authentic self. You've got this, and you're not alone in this journey. Until next time, give yourself grace, trust the process, and stay wild and powerful.
