Stop Surviving, Start Reclaiming Your Life
Episode 23
Thursday, 16 July, 2026

Stuck in the "time heals all wounds" waiting room while your ex moves on? It’s time to rebuild your identity and set unbreakable boundaries after divorce. Divorce doesn't just break a marriage; it often shatters a woman’s confidence, leaving single mums feeling exhausted, stuck, and unworthy of a brilliant next chapter. In this episode, we are cutting through the standard fluff to deliver a proactive, step-by-step game plan to reclaim your life. Sandra, one of the driving forces behind Women on Transition, joins us to share her incredible journey of surviving a toxic separation and exactly how she rebuilt her foundations. We break down how to start healing when you have zero emotional bandwidth, the exact mechanics of setting a firm boundary with a difficult ex, and a 60-second "pause" tool you can use the next time your phone blows up with triggering texts.
