Welcome to Episode 2 of The Divorced Christian Woman Podcast, where we believe that living alone doesn’t mean you’re dying. It just means you finally have control of the thermostat.
In this episode, I sat down with Grace, Wendy, and Maile to talk about the surprisingly surreal and also beautiful journey of learning to live solo after divorce. From blackout curtains and bougie hotel sheets to full-on nervous system rewiring, we covered it all. If you've ever cried into a bowl of cereal on a Friday night and called it dinner, congratulations - you’re not broken. You're just a woman figuring it out.
We’re not here to sugarcoat the first 365 days. They're hard. But they’re also where the magic starts to crack through. And sometimes that magic smells like eucalyptus and sounds like absolute silence. The peaceful kind.
Key Takeaways:
- Silence can be healing — it’s not loneliness, it’s peace in disguise.
- Blackout curtains and bougie sheets are therapy.
- You’re allowed to sleep in the middle of the bed.
- Cereal for dinner is valid. So is doing nothing.
- Your life wasn’t ruined. It’s just now beginning.
- God isn’t mad. He’s with you, not against you.
- Freedom feels weird at first. That’s normal.
- Self-trust grows when no one’s watching.
- Redecorating is emotional rehab. Light a candle.
