Why Do Your Friends Believe the Person Who Abused You? [Episode 372]
What happens when seeing your ex derails all your progress? And why do your friends think he’s such a great guy when you know the truth?

What happens when seeing your ex derails all your progress? And why do your friends think he’s such a great guy when you know the truth?

Today we’re going to explore something you probably never expected to find after divorce: abundance. Not the kind with a big bank account. The kind that fills your soul.
You’ll hear about the shift that happens when you stop waiting for heaven and start creating it now. There’s a perspective change that transforms your ex from villain to… something surprising. And you’ll discover why one woman says she makes poverty look good and absolutely means it as a compliment.

In this episode we tackle three questions: What happens when the abuser is the one who leaves? How do you live with the fear of post-separation or post-divorce revenge? And what do you do when your friends just don’t get it?

Let’s talk about everyone’s favorite topic: death and disaster! Kidding. Kind of.
In this episode, I sat down with Leah Hadley (who has so many professional credits after her name, that I’ll just let you scroll down to see all of them. Trust me. She’s qualified.) to tackle the post-divorce brain bender that is estate planning and insurance.
If you’ve ever wanted to scream into the void because you don’t know what kind of health insurance to get or who should get your vintage Corelle dishes when you die, this episode is for you.
Because as Leah and I discussed, doing nothing is still doing something. But is it really what you WANT to do?

This isn’t my typical podcast episode. Today I get personal, sharing why I’ve decided to pursue graduate studies in theology after experiencing profound spiritual abuse throughout my entire life. If you’ve read All the Scary Little Gods, you know my story, and you might be wondering why I’d ever step back into that world.
I invite you into my journey of healing, my commitment to simplicity in 2026, and the real reason I keep this podcast free.

So, you want to start a business?
In this episode, Diana and I share our not-so-glamorous but totally doable journeys of starting businesses from the ground up.
We’ll help you get clear on whether building a business is even for you, how to start small, test your ideas and how to make peace with imperfection. You’ll walk away with tangible steps and permission to start messy.
