The Divorced Christian Woman podcast is a place of belonging for women of faith rebuilding their lives after divorce. Each week, you’ll hear real talk and practical wisdom from fellow survivors, advocates, and experts who understand the unique challenges you’re facing. We tackle tough questions with honesty, compassion, and a Christ-centered lens—offering encouragement, resources, and community for every step of your rebuilding journey. If you’ve ever felt alone or marginalized, this is your space to be seen, supported, and reminded that your story isn’t over—it’s just beginning.
Welcome to the final episode of Season One of The Divorced Christian Woman Podcast! If you’ve made it through the first 365 days post-divorce without stabbing anyone (including yourself), congratulations. You’re our people.
In our finale I gather a roundtable of warrior women (Diana, Loretta, Lisa, and Marie) to talk about what comes after the ashes. (And it’s NOT all sobbing into Häagen-Dazs while reading Leviticus. Haha)
What if the emotions you’re trying to keep at arm’s length (like grief and rage) are actually the very things that will set you free?
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Diana Swillinger. Today we’re talking about the emotional whirlwind that follows a divorce, especially for Christian women who were taught to be nice, stay quiet, and for the love of God, never get angry.
Well. We got angry. (And we’re still alive!)
This isn’t your grandma’s church talk on “biblical womanhood.” In this episode, I sit down with four divorced Christian women—Diana, Loretta, Lisa, and Marie—to unpack the sticky, often squirmy conversation around sex, dating, purity culture, and what it all means now that we’ve ditched the toxic marriage and are figuring out what we actually want.
Heads up: this is not a how-to guide for your post-divorce sex life. We’re not handing out purity rings or condoms. This is an open, judgment-free, thoughtful conversation about the messy intersection of desire, faith, and freedom.
Get the first chapter of my book, Is It Me? Making Sense of Your Confusing Marriage, recommended by therapists. That chapter will help you figure out what’s going on in your marriage.
