Time Doesn’t Heal Divorce Pain—What Actually Does
About this episode
Fiona May discusses the active process of healing from divorce pain and the importance of community support.
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 at https://bit.ly/ryl-fs https://bit.ly/m/Women-On-Transition Hosted on Acast.
