About this episode

This episode features a discussion with Lisa Johnson about the emotional complexities of divorce and the healing process that follows.

On this episode of Unfiltered Tales, we speak with Lisa Johnson ( https://beentheregotout.com ) about Divorce. Divorce can feel like a tidal wave of emotions, pulling a person in different directions without warning. At first, there may be shock—an almost surreal disbelief that the relationship has truly ended—followed by waves of grief as the shared dreams, daily routines, and sense of identity built with a partner begin to unravel. Anger can surface, sometimes fiercely, directed toward a spouse, oneself, or the circumstances that led to the separation. Beneath it all, a steady undercurrent of fear and uncertainty often lingers, bringing questions about the future, finances, or the well-being of children. For some, relief emerges as the first breath of freedom after years of strain, while for others, the quiet of single life feels like an aching loneliness. Friendships may shift, familiar spaces may feel unfamiliar, and life itself can seem like a blank page—both intimidating and full of possibility. In the midst of it all, emotional healing becomes a gradual process, requiring patience, self-compassion, and the courage to rebuild on new terms
