Some episodes are conversational between myself and my co-host, Sandra Lee. Others include inspiring women and trusted experts who understand this chapter of life deeply.

Fiona May introduces the Life After Divorce, Honest Conversation for Women podcast for women navigating separation, divorce, and rebuilding, emphasizing support, clarity, and that listeners are not broken. She explains that while traditional therapy can help connect the dots and build understanding, it often doesn’t resolve triggers because reactions live in the subconscious mind and nervous system, not the logical conscious mind. Divorce can create complex, layered wounds, and repeatedly talking through the story can keep women stuck in a “loop” rather than updating the body’s threat response. Fiona encourages a “pivot” from focusing on why to learning how to regulate the nervous system, build emotional intelligence, and follow a step-by-step plan using tools and strategy in the right order.

Fiona May introduces the “Life After Divorce, Honest Conversation for Women” podcast, a supportive space for women navigating separation, divorce, and rebuilding, with episodes featuring co-host Sandra Lee, inspiring women, and trusted experts. She discusses the often-unacknowledged “invisible grief” of divorce, comparing it to a death without rituals or social support, and explains how this loss can impact identity, confidence, children, career, health, and finances. Fiona describes identity grief, the pressure to appear fine, and how unprocessed pain can turn inward, affecting the nervous system through fatigue, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. She encourages validating the loss, being vulnerable with a trusted circle, honoring what was lost, and healing step by step through processing feelings, regulating emotions, and creating a plan for a new life.

Fiona May introduces the “Life After Divorce, Honest Conversation for Women” podcast for women navigating separation, divorce, and rebuilding identity and confidence, with episodes featuring co-host Sandra Lee, guests, and experts. The episode challenges the belief that time heals divorce pain, explaining that time only dulls and buries unhealed trauma, which can resurface years later as bitterness, resentment, or triggers at family events. Fiona outlines that healing is active and requires three steps: confronting the wound, having the presence of another through supportive community, and using practical engagement tools such as boundaries, naming emotions, and building emotional intelligence. She reframes healing as the ability to feel and stand steady, encourages acceptance without needing explanations or apologies, and invites listeners to resources, coaching, events, and community athttps://bit.ly/ryl-fshttps://bit.ly/m/Women-On-Transition

Fiona May introduces the “Life After Divorce, Honest Conversation for Women” podcast for women navigating separation, divorce, and rebuilding, featuring episodes with co-host Sandra Lee, guests, and experts. This episode focuses on the guilt that can keep women stuck after divorce and argues it’s often not theirs to carry. Fiona distinguishes real guilt (from going against core values) from “fake guilt” rooted in fear of upsetting others and old conditioning, and explains why women carry it through patterns like the betrayal trap, the “fix-it” role, and the “good girl” rule. She encourages women to stop measuring themselves against unrealistic expectations, be kinder to themselves, choose their own needs and values, practice saying no, set boundaries, and remember others’ reactions are not their job.
