💥 What if 5 seconds could change your life?

This isn’t about dropping biscuits on the floor and pretending germs don’t exist 👀

Nope, we’re talking about Mel Robbins' The 5 Second Rule ….. the one that stops overthinking, boosts courage, and helps you make brave choices (even when you really don’t want to).

In this episode, I’m taking the 5 Second Rule and giving it a divorce twist …. because, let’s be real, navigating post-divorce life can feel like a never-ending f*cking blooper reel of cringe-worthy moments, regrets, and overthinking spirals.

So we’re looking at….
✔️ How the 5 Second Rule interrupts rumination (perfect for those "What if I'd done X differently?" moments)
✔️ How to shift from thinking to doing after divorce before fear has a chance to stop you
✔️ Why building micro-wins builds confidence and trust in yourself
✔️ Using 5 seconds of courage to set boundaries, stop stalking your ex, or write that dating profile

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. replaying your marriage bloopers or procrastinated on reclaiming your life, this one’s for you.

✨ Think of this rule like a police escort for the traffic jam of crap in your brain, shouting "Outta the way, negative thoughts! We’ve got stuff to do!"

I hope you enjoy the episode, now 5-4-3-2-1 PLAY 🎧
