Episode 23 - What You Want and Moving Through Discomfort 06/29/2025

Episode 23 - What You Want and Moving Through Discomfort In this milestone 23rd episode of the Divorced AF podcast, Audrey takes a powerful look back at the journey of launching the show and speaks to the very real, very raw discomfort that comes with life after divorce. Whether it's the fear of starting something new, navigating emotional landmines with an ex, or waiting for the "right moment" to feel happy again—Audrey is here to challenge all of it. This episode is a permission slip to stop waiting for the discomfort to pass and start living the life you want now. From Fear to Flight: The Podcast Origin Story Audrey reflects on the humble beginnings of the Divorced AF Podcast, sharing how fear and imposter syndrome nearly stopped her from pressing record. She opens up about the early doubts around identity and public speaking—and how working with Jen as her podcast producer made it all possible. This behind-the-scenes look is a reminder that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Divorce Coaching: Meeting Women Where They Are Audrey explains what it means to be a divorce coach and how her podcast episodes are inspired by real client conversations. She discusses a common theme: the belief that peace and happiness are only possible after the divorce is finalized. Audrey challenges this mindset, offering a bold alternative—what if closure isn't required to feel free? Feel It All: Sadness, Stress, and the Power of Now Happiness doesn’t have to wait. Audrey breaks down the idea that emotional healing and joy are only valid once a divorce is legally over. Instead, she empowers listeners to claim those feelings right now, even if sadness, anger, or anxiety are still present. It’s not about avoiding emotions—it’s about making space for all of them. Boundaries, Nervous Systems, and Ex-Drama Audrey shares her own moments of emotional upheaval and the tools she uses to stay grounded: guided visualizations, meditation, and journaling. She also dives into the importance of boundaries—like choosing not to respond to certain texts—and why that’s not just self-protection, but a power move. Reclaiming Control in Divorce Conflicts When you're stuck in reactive mode, you lose your sense of control. Audrey walks listeners through the trap of trying to manage an ex’s behavior and offers a shift: focus on your own boundaries instead. With the support of lawyers, mediators, or coaches, you can stand your ground and reclaim your peace—even during the messiest parts. Discomfort Isn’t a Sign You’re Doing It Wrong Using examples like job interviews and pregnancy, Audrey normalizes discomfort as part of any major transformation. She reframes discomfort not as a red flag, but as proof you're moving forward. Consistency, intention, and the willingness to feel uncomfortable are all part of the path to what you want. Joy Can Start Today Audrey closes the episode with a powerful truth: you don’t need closure to move on. You don’t need to wait for the perfect circumstances to be happy. The discomfort of divorce is real, but so is your power to find joy in the middle of it. You just have to decide. A Message From Audrey If you take anything from this episode, let it be this: you don’t have to wait. You don’t need permission. You can be happy, even when it’s hard. I know how uncomfortable this process can be—I’ve lived it. But every step you take through that discomfort is a step closer to the life you want.

Episode 22 – When Do You Know 06/22/2025

Episode 22 – When Do You Know In this deeply personal episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey explores one of the most haunting questions women ask themselves when their relationship starts to unravel: When do you know it’s time to leave? With raw honesty and empathy, she opens up about the internal struggle, the fears, and the turning points that make this decision feel impossible—until it isn’t. Whether you're currently in a relationship that no longer feels aligned or you're reflecting on the moment you made your exit, this episode is filled with relatable moments and real-talk clarity that will leave you feeling seen. The Question That Lingers Audrey begins the episode by acknowledging the universal nature of the question, “When do you know?” She explains that for many women, especially those with kids or long histories with their partners, this question is heavy and ever-present. It’s not just about dissatisfaction—it’s about safety, self-worth, and whether there’s anything left to rebuild. The Signs You Can’t Ignore Audrey shares common internal and external signs that it may be time to go, including emotional exhaustion, loss of identity, growing resentment, and repeated cycles of false hope. She encourages listeners to trust their intuition, especially when their body and mind are signaling that something isn’t right. The Guilt That Keeps You Stuck In this segment, Audrey discusses the guilt many women feel when even thinking about leaving. From fear of breaking up a family to cultural expectations and self-judgment, she names the shame and reminds listeners that guilt often keeps us in a state of survival instead of living fully. The Moment You Finally Know Audrey walks through what “knowing” can look like—not always a dramatic moment, but often a slow accumulation of truths. She shares her own “final straw” story and the calm clarity that followed. She offers encouragement for those who still feel unsure, letting them know that knowing doesn’t always come quickly, but it does come. A Message from Audrey This episode was a tough one to record because I know what it feels like to sit in the unknown. If you’re listening and you’re there—questioning, doubting, feeling stuck—I just want you to know, you’re not alone. You don’t have to justify your pain or wait until it’s unbearable to make a move. Your knowing will come. And when it does, you’ll be ready. I’m so proud of you for even asking the question. Join the Divorced AF Community! Love this episode?

Episode 21 - All The Advice and Opinions 06/15/2025

Episode 20 - Who Do You Talk To 06/08/2025

Episode 20 - Who Do You Talk To In this episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey shares an inspired and heartfelt reflection on the power of having someone in your corner during a divorce. Whether you're navigating the practical or emotional aftermath, Audrey explores why talking about it—really talking about it—can be a game changer. From her own story to those of her clients, she unpacks the role of a divorce coach, the shifting societal view on marriage, and the importance of rebuilding support when old systems fall away. If you've ever felt like you're doing this alone, this episode will help you realize—you don't have to. Introduction and Purpose of the Podcast Audrey welcomes listeners with warmth and presence, fresh from a client session that sparked today’s conversation. She opens up about the purpose of this episode: to highlight the crucial role of support during divorce, particularly the often-overlooked benefit of having a divorce coach. She introduces BNI (Business Network International) as a networking tool that connects professionals through referrals, and shares how meaningful client stories can shape new conversations. Role and Benefits of a Divorce Coach Audrey explains what a divorce coach really does—and why that role can be so pivotal. A coach isn’t just a cheerleader or therapist; they’re a mirror, a reminder of how far you’ve come, and a steady hand when everything else feels uncertain. Much like how you don’t see your kids growing daily, we often miss our own growth—until someone reflects it back. Through coaching, clients gain clarity around goals like healing, custody, and co-parenting. Personal growth is lifelong, and the coach helps keep that journey grounded and intentional. Breaking the Stigma of Divorce The episode takes a powerful turn as Audrey challenges the societal shame around divorce. She reframes it not as a failure but as the natural end to a relationship that served its time. Drawing on cultural shifts and the evolution of women’s roles, she sheds light on why more people—especially women—are choosing their own peace and happiness. Divorce doesn’t have to mean defeat; it can be a powerful completion. The Importance of Talking About Divorce Audrey stresses how critical it is to talk about divorce—not just with anyone, but with someone who gets it. Friends and family may mean well but often fall short. Lawyers focus on legal logistics, not emotional healing. A divorce coach, on the other hand, is trained to hold space, guide through the messy middle, and offer true, unbiased support during the storm. Loss of Support Networks During Divorce The grief of divorce goes far beyond the relationship itself. Audrey compassionately speaks to the layered losses—of identity, future dreams, and support systems. Many clients feel abandoned by friends or family who don’t know how to show up. A coach helps them mourn those losses and build new, solid ground. Her insights are grounded in both lived experience and the stories of the many women she walks alongside. Conclusion and Call to Action Audrey wraps up with a personal reflection on her own divorce journey and the loneliness that led her to become a divorce coach. She believes in the power of having someone in your corner—someone who helps you transform “I can’t” into “I did.” She encourages listeners to reach out if they need support, or to share this podcast with someone who does. This community exists to remind you that you’re not alone, and your comeback story is already unfolding. I know what it feels like to walk through divorce with no one to talk to—really talk to. That’s why I became a divorce coach. If you're feeling isolated or like you’re supposed to “have it all together,” I want you to know you don’t have to do this alone. There is a better, more supported way through, and I hope this episode reminded you of that. Keep showing up for yourself, and if you ever need someone to walk with you—I’m right here.

Episode 19 – Overthinking & Underfeeling 06/01/2025

Episode 19 – Overthinking & Underfeeling In this heartfelt and powerful episode, Audrey dives deep into a topic that hits close to home for many divorced mothers—overthinking. She unpacks how overthinking and overfunctioning often act as protective shields, keeping us from feeling our emotions. Drawing from personal experience and conversations with clients, Audrey explores how this coping mechanism shows up, especially in solo parenting, and offers gentle reminders and strategies to break the cycle. This is an invitation to pause, feel, and heal. Overthinking is Underfeeling Audrey introduces the theme of the episode by challenging a common habit many mothers experience—overthinking. She explains that constantly analyzing, planning, or fixing is often a way to avoid feeling deep emotions. Through personal stories and client examples, Audrey brings awareness to the truth behind this pattern and begins to peel back the layers. The Challenge of Solo Parenting Parenting alone often demands high levels of responsibility and structure. Audrey talks about how difficult it is to shift from doing mode (masculine energy) to being mode (feminine energy) when you're managing everything yourself. She points out how our nervous systems gravitate toward what’s familiar—even if that means staying in a cycle of busyness and stress. When the Mind Takes Over Audrey discusses how being stuck in our heads can block access to our emotions. When we live in logic and structure, we disconnect from what our bodies are trying to tell us. She stresses the importance of slowing down and allowing space for feelings to arise, reminding listeners that real clarity often comes in the stillness. Letting Yourself Feel Audrey encourages listeners to get comfortable with their emotions instead of pushing them away. She shares examples of how anxiety, fear, and anger can manifest in the body and why it's so important to create safe spaces for those emotions to move through. Feeling is the first step to healing. Breaking the Overthinking Cycle Overthinking and overfunctioning can create a toxic loop of anxiety and stress. Audrey offers practical strategies—like tuning into physical sensations, taking intentional pauses, and asking "What would be loving right now?"—to help interrupt this cycle. She speaks especially to the mothers doing it all, validating their experiences while showing them another way forward. Permission to Rest Rest isn’t something to be earned—it’s essential. Audrey discusses the societal expectations that drive us to do more and be more, and how that leads to burnout. She invites listeners to step back, rest, and be present with what’s around them. Taking a break is not a weakness; it’s a radical act of self-care. If you take one thing away from today, let it be this: overthinking is underfeeling. The more we fill the space with action, the less room we leave for truth to rise. I see you, especially the solo mamas out there navigating this on your own. I know it’s not easy, but I’m so damn proud of the way you keep showing up. Keep giving yourself grace, keep pausing when you can, and keep letting yourself feel. You’re not broken—you’re transforming. And as always, if this episode touched you, share it with another woman who needs to hear she’s not alone. Let’s keep rising, together.

Episode 18 - Mum guilt 05/25/2025

Episode 18 - Mum guilt In this heartfelt episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey takes on the all-too-familiar topic of “mum guilt”—the emotional weight many mothers carry, whether they’re working, staying at home, or somewhere in between. Audrey shares real-life reflections, including her own recent experiences with guilt around traveling, parenting, and giving herself permission to grow. She invites listeners to reframe guilt, stop blaming themselves for their children's emotions, and lean into the joy of building a new normal—one that honors both their kids and their own personal fulfillment. Mum Guilt and Its Impact on Parenting Audrey opens the episode by acknowledging that mum guilt doesn’t discriminate—it affects all mothers. She speaks to the inner tension working moms feel about missing time with their kids, and stay-at-home moms feel about needing space. Through a personal story about yelling at her kids, she highlights how quickly guilt sets in and how tough it can be to let go. Audrey’s Upcoming Trip to Toronto With transparency and humor, Audrey shares her plans to attend a five-night event in Toronto and the guilt that initially surfaced around leaving her kids. She walks through how her children are independent and capable, and how she’s reframing this trip as an example of leadership, trust, and growth—for both her and her kids. Choosing Growth and Joy Audrey makes a compelling case for mothers to choose joy, even if it means stepping away for a bit. Sharing a touching conversation with her oldest son, she emphasizes how children benefit from seeing their mothers thrive. Her message is clear: growing as a woman makes you a better mother. Letting Go of Guilt and Embracing Fulfillment Audrey challenges mothers to release guilt around their personal choices—whether it’s working, traveling, or simply taking a break. She reminds listeners that what matters most is that choices are made with joy, not obligation. Independence in kids, she says, is a gift that comes from trust and modeling self-respect. Stop Blaming Divorce for Everything Audrey shares a client story about blaming divorce for a child’s emotional reactions. She pushes back on the idea that all big feelings stem from separation, encouraging mothers to allow kids to feel what they need to feel—and to stop holding themselves solely responsible for those emotions. Survival Mode to New Normal Reflecting on life post-divorce, Audrey talks about the shift from survival mode to building a new normal. She urges mothers to see the progress they’ve made, recognize their strength, and celebrate the life they’re creating—not just for their children, but for themselves too. Supporting Women Through All Seasons Audrey closes with gratitude, noting how her words resonate not just with divorced women, but with married mothers too. She celebrates the community growing around the podcast and encourages women to continue lifting each other up, one story at a time. I want you to hear this: You are doing a great job. Mum guilt is loud, but your joy, your growth, and your self-trust can be louder. I’ve been there—questioning, second-guessing, worrying I’m not enough. But the truth is, when you choose yourself with love, you show your kids how to do the same. Whether you're divorced, married, or figuring it all out, I see you. Thank you for listening and for sharing this space with me. If this episode helped you, pass it on to a mama who needs to hear that she's not alone. We're in this together.

Episode 17 - Doing It All 05/18/2025

Episode 17 - Doing It All In this powerful episode of the Divorced AF Podcast, Audrey tackles the myth of “doing it all” and the overwhelming pressure society places on women—especially divorced mothers—to flawlessly manage work, family, and household duties. Audrey gets real about the burnout, emotional toll, and the importance of protecting your mental and physical health by choosing what truly lights you up. Through raw storytelling and practical advice, she encourages listeners to give themselves permission to say no, change their minds, and prioritize joy. The Myth of “Doing It All” Audrey opens up about the unrealistic expectations women face to handle everything—career, parenting, and household responsibilities—with little acknowledgment or support. She breaks down the emotional exhaustion that comes from trying to meet these standards and reminds listeners that being labeled “hysterical” is often the result of being pushed beyond capacity. It’s an Illusion Sharing from her personal life, Audrey confesses that she doesn’t “do it all”—and no one really does. From outsourcing dinner to letting go of perfection, she encourages listeners to release the guilt and instead focus on what truly brings them joy and peace. Choose What Lights You Up Audrey challenges listeners to take inventory of their time and commitments. Are your to-do lists filled with things that energize you—or just obligations? She offers empowering advice on choosing activities that align with your values and letting go of the rest, even if it means changing your mind. Breaking the People-Pleasing Habit Revisiting themes from a previous episode, Audrey dives into how people-pleasing keeps women stuck in burnout and resentment. She reminds listeners that it’s okay to say no without explanation—and that doing so is a radical act of self-respect. Burnout, Relationships, and Radical Self-Care Audrey shares a vulnerable moment from her past: burning out in 2023 while juggling too much and staying in a relationship out of fear. Her message? Prioritize yourself. Whether it’s food, sleep, or emotional health, self-care is non-negotiable. Reevaluating Your Work and Your Worth Audrey asks a tough question: Is your job fulfilling you—or just draining you? She speaks to the fear of failure, encourages listeners to trust in their potential, and reminds them that it’s okay to walk away from anything that isn’t aligned with who they truly are. Saying No to Protect Your Peace Protecting your mental health might mean disappointing others—and Audrey says that’s okay. She urges listeners to value their well-being more than being understood or liked, because peace is priceless. Listen, you don’t have to do it all. You were never meant to. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to protect your peace. I’ve been called crazy by people who didn’t understand my healing—and honestly, that’s a badge of honor. If you’re in a season of reclaiming your energy, your time, and your joy, I see you. You’re not alone. Thank you for listening, and if this episode spoke to your soul, share it with someone who needs to hear that it’s okay to stop doing it all. Join the Divorced AF Community! Love this episode?

Episode 16 - Recovering People Pleasers 05/11/2025

Episode 16 - Recovering People Pleasers How to Reclaim Your Voice, Set Boundaries, and Live Authentically In this honest and empowering episode, Audrey Alice dives deep into the tangled roots of people pleasing—especially in the wake of divorce. With vulnerability and boldness, she unpacks the lifelong patterns that kept her small, how those habits showed up in her marriage and motherhood, and what it took to finally start choosing herself. If you’ve ever said “yes” when you meant “no,” stayed silent to keep the peace, or lost yourself in the pursuit of keeping everyone else happy, this episode is for you. The People-Pleasing Pattern Audrey begins by naming the core beliefs that fuel people pleasing—from childhood conditioning to societal expectations around being “good,” polite, and selfless. She shares how this showed up in her own life and the toll it took on her sense of identity. What Divorce Teaches You About Boundaries Post-divorce, people-pleasing tendencies can either intensify or collapse under the weight of self-discovery. Audrey walks through her own process of redefining boundaries, reclaiming her voice, and learning to prioritize what she wants and needs. Permission to Be Too Much There’s power in taking up space. Audrey unpacks the inner work it takes to move from “I don’t want to disappoint anyone” to “I refuse to disappoint myself.” She shares how she stopped minimizing her needs to make others comfortable and started living unapologetically. Healing the Inner Child Who Needed to Be Liked This episode also touches on the spiritual and emotional healing involved in becoming a “recovering” people pleaser. Audrey explores the ways reiki, breathwork, and somatic practices supported her in releasing guilt and embracing wholeness. Practical Tools for People Pleasers in Recovery Audrey closes with tangible tools to support listeners ready to step out of people-pleasing mode—including journaling prompts, affirmation practices, and real-life scripts to help say “no” with love and self-respect. If you’ve been called “too much,” if you’ve been told you’re crazy, or if you’ve silenced your magic to make others comfortable—this one’s for you. I hope it gives you permission to stop fitting in and start fitting out. The world doesn’t need a watered-down version of you. It needs all of you. Tell me how you're reclaiming your space and belonging to yourself again. I'm here for every loud, wild, free, authentic piece of it. Join the Divorced AF Community! Love this episode?

Episode 15 - Child Support 05/04/2025

Episode 15 - Child Support Let’s Get Real About the Feelings, Stories, and Energetics of Child Support In this raw and unfiltered episode, Audrey dives deep into one of the most emotionally charged and commonly misunderstood topics of post-divorce life: child support. Whether you're the one paying it or receiving it, child support often brings with it layers of guilt, shame, resentment—or all of the above. Audrey opens up about her personal journey and the stories she sees in her coaching clients, shedding light on how to transform your relationship with money, parenting, and support into one rooted in gratitude, abundance, and neutrality. Emotions and Energetics of Money Audrey begins by revisiting the emotional and energetic weight money carries, especially during and after divorce. She reflects on societal taboos, childhood conditioning, and the often uncomfortable energy we hold around discussing and receiving money. Through breathwork and presence, she invites listeners to soften their shoulders and arrive at a neutral state with money as a starting point. Redefining Child Support Through Gratitude Instead of framing child support with guilt or resentment, Audrey reframes it as a beautiful system designed to ensure stability for children. She encourages listeners—especially those receiving support—to shift from shame to gratitude, recognizing child support as a vehicle that allows them to be more present, grounded, and available for their kids during a transformative time. Healing the Shame Around Receiving Audrey shares how her own experience with shame around receiving child support stifled her creativity and voice for years. By learning to fully receive—compliments, help, and money—she was able to step into her purpose, build her business, and reconnect with abundance. This segment is a powerful reminder that our ability to receive directly affects the abundance we allow into our lives. For the Parent Paying Support Addressing the other side, Audrey offers compassion and a powerful mindset shift for those paying child support. Instead of framing it as a loss or burden, she offers affirmations and new language around generosity and contribution—inviting listeners to see themselves as active, abundant supporters of their children’s well-being, even from a distance. Make It Neutral. Make It Beautiful. Audrey invites listeners to find neutrality. Child support is not good or bad—it’s simply a thing that happens. The stories we attach to it are what create emotional weight. She challenges listeners to ask: “How is this belief serving me?” and offers a new lens: each payment, each dollar, is putting food on the table, gas in the car, and security in your children’s lives. And that is a beautiful thing. Mamacita, I see you. I love you. I am you. Whether you’re receiving child support or paying it, you are doing the best you can. You are supporting your children, and that is sacred. If you’ve been holding shame, resentment, or guilt—please know you can release it. You can rewrite your story starting now. I’m so proud of you for showing up, for being in this space, and for doing the work. Divorce doesn’t break you—it transforms you.

Episode 13 - Your Kids Only Need 1 Solid Parent 03/07/2025

Episode 13 - Your Kids Only Need 1 Solid Parent Becoming the Steady Anchor for Your Children Divorce can feel like a storm, but your children don’t need two perfect parents—they just need one stable, loving, and regulated parent to thrive. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey Alice explores the power of being the solid parent, even when co-parenting with someone who isn’t. Backed by research from Harvard on childhood resilience, she shares insights on emotional regulation, self-care, and how your presence alone can shape your children’s well-being. Audrey kicks off the episode with a warm multilingual greeting, expressing gratitude for the Divorced AF community. She acknowledges the impact of her listeners in shaping this podcast and gives a special shoutout to her son, Hugo Amos, who created the show’s intro and outro music. This week’s episode is all about one crucial truth—your kids don’t need two stable parents. They just need one. Audrey introduces the importance of emotional regulation and resilience, reassuring parents that their efforts alone can make all the difference in their children’s growth and healing. Why One Solid Parent is Enough Not every child has two emotionally stable parents, and that’s okay. Audrey discusses the power of one grounded, loving parent in a child's life. Drawing on a Harvard study on resilience, she highlights that having a single stable caregiver is enough to help kids grow into well-adjusted adults. She encourages listeners to focus on what they can control—creating a safe, supportive environment, rather than stressing over the actions of an unreliable co-parent. Overcoming the Challenges of Being the Solid Parent Being the steady, regulated parent isn’t easy—it requires emotional resilience, self-awareness, and healing. Audrey acknowledges the weight of this responsibility and the importance of self-care in maintaining that strength. Whether it's yoga, guided visualizations, or simply leaning on a strong support system, she reminds listeners that prioritizing their own well-being directly benefits their children. You Don't Have to Be Perfect Audrey reassures parents that they don’t have to be perfect. Instead, being authentic, showing up consistently, and regulating their own emotions will teach their children more than any lecture ever could. Your children are watching how you navigate life, not just what you say. Audrey leaves listeners with an encouraging reminder: Your love, stability, and presence are enough. Keep showing up, keep choosing growth, and know that your impact is greater than you think. She invites listeners to share their thoughts, ask questions, and continue the conversation. As always, she thanks the Divorced AF community for being a part of this journey. Join the Divorced AF Community! Love this episode?

Episode 12 - Focus Less on Your Ex and More on You 03/07/2025

Episode 12 - Focus Less on Your Ex and More on You Shifting Your Focus: Reclaiming Your Energy After Divorce Your healing starts with you. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey Alice dives into the importance of redirecting energy away from your ex and toward your own growth, peace, and happiness. She unpacks why obsessing over what your ex is doing (or not doing) can keep you stuck in a cycle of stress and frustration. Instead, she encourages listeners to focus on what truly matters—building a fulfilling, empowered life post-divorce. Audrey kicks off the episode with exciting news—the Divorced AF E-store is officially live!

Audrey shares her gratitude for , who helped bring this vision to life, and invites listeners to check out the new offerings at the . Why You Need to Focus on You, Not Your Ex It’s easy to get caught up in what your ex is doing—especially in the early stages of divorce. Audrey discusses how many of her clients spend their first few sessions venting about their ex, but she quickly shifts their perspective. Instead of staying stuck in that cycle, she encourages them to focus on their own goals, dreams, and self-regulation. She reminds listeners that healing begins when they stop giving their ex so much mental and emotional energy. The Toll of Fixating on Your Ex Focusing on your ex doesn’t just drain your emotional energy—it affects your physical well-being too. Audrey explains how stress and high cortisol levels can impact the body, making it harder to move forward. She highlights the importance of choosing thoughts that feel better, shifting attention toward gratitude, and reclaiming control over your own happiness. Creating Stability for Yourself and Your Kids Audrey encourages listeners to focus on what they can control—the environment in their own home. Being the solid, grounded parent gives children a sense of security, even when external circumstances are uncertain. She reminds listeners that their energy sets the tone for their household and that prioritizing their well-being benefits not just them, but their kids as well. Your ex doesn’t deserve free rent in your mind.

Episode 11 - Why Didn't You Tell Me The Weight of Silence: Understanding Why We Don’t Always Share Not every story is meant to be told in the moment. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey Alice explores the question many divorced individuals hear: “Why didn’t you tell me?” Audrey unpacks the emotional complexities of divorce, friendship, and self-protection, from personal struggles to the reasons behind keeping quiet. If you’ve ever felt guilty for staying silent or struggled to support a friend through their divorce, this episode will shift your perspective and help you navigate these relationships with more compassion.

She shares how the shift to online platforms due to COVID-19 has reshaped business and personal connections, emphasizing the importance of adapting to new ways of working and supporting one another across time zones and borders. Why We Don’t Always Share Our Struggles Not every friendship requires full transparency. Audrey introduces the episode’s theme—"Why didn’t you tell me?"—and dives into the reasons people keep certain struggles private. Using a real-life client story, she highlights the pressure to justify life-changing decisions and explains why choosing to stay silent is sometimes an act of self-preservation. Personal Reflections: Moving Out and Keeping Quiet Sharing her own experience of leaving her marital home, Audrey opens up about the hesitation to tell others. She recalls the uncertainty, the hope that things might improve, and the limited details she shared with her children and close friends. Through this reflection, she encourages listeners to give themselves grace when deciding what and when to share. How to Support a Friend Going Through Divorce Divorce is a lonely journey, but support doesn’t have to come in the form of advice. Audrey offers guidance on how to truly be there for a friend—by listening, holding space, and resisting the urge to "fix" things. She shares a personal moment of receiving unsupportive feedback and explains how well-meaning but misplaced words can add to the isolation. The Many Reasons Behind Silence From guilt and shame to fear of judgment, Audrey breaks down the different reasons people hesitate to open up about marital struggles. She reminds listeners that a friend’s silence is never about them—it’s about the person’s need to process their own journey on their own terms. Instead of questioning why they weren’t told sooner, true friends should focus on offering understanding and unconditional support. Being a friend through divorce isn’t about having the right words—it’s about being present without judgment. Audrey leaves listeners with an encouraging reminder: Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give someone is your presence, not your opinion. She invites listeners to reach out, share their thoughts, and continue supporting the Divorced AF community. ✨ The best way to hold space for someone is to show up without the need to fix, judge, or solve—just to be there. ✨ Join the Divorced AF Community!

Audrey discusses how ego-driven conflicts often get in the way of prioritizing children’s well-being. She highlights how kids learn more from what we do than what we say and shares a powerful quote from Nikki Marie about the story our children will one day tell about us. Modeling Healthy Behavior and Avoiding Conflict Audrey emphasizes that arguing in front of children does more harm than good, impacting their ability to regulate emotions. She shares personal experiences of learning from her mistakes and reminds parents that belittling the other parent only hurts the child. Instead, she urges parents to focus on growth, self-awareness, and leading by example. Parenting Agreements and Child Safety One of the most practical tools in co-parenting is a solid parenting agreement. Audrey explains why precise custody schedules and responsibilities are crucial and stresses that the parent with the child must ensure they are properly cared for no matter what's in writing. She also touches on situations where a child’s safety is at risk and offers mediation and coaching as alternatives to costly legal battles.

She encourages listeners to embrace their divine nature, lead with love over ego, and always keep their children’s well-being as the top priority.

Episode 9 - The Voice Inside Your Head 03/07/2025

Episode 9 - The Voice Inside Your Head Welcome back to Divorced AF! If you're feeling weighed down by guilt, fear, or self-doubt after divorce, you’re not alone. That voice in your head—whispering that you’re not good enough or have somehow failed—can be relentless. But today, we’re shutting it down. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the emotional rollercoaster of post-divorce life, unpacking imposter syndrome, and discovering how to step into your power confidently. Consider this if you’ve been waiting for permission to release the doubt and reclaim your life. Overcoming Guilt, Fear, and Self-Doubt After Divorce Divorce is more than just paperwork and legal proceedings—it’s a complete life shift that can leave you questioning everything. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey Alice gets real about the voice in your head that tells you you're not enough. From post-divorce guilt to imposter syndrome, Audrey dives into the fears that hold us back and how we can break free from them. Whether you're a single mom, co-parent, or just trying to figure out your next step, this episode is for you. Connecting with Listeners and Introducing the Topic Audrey welcomes listeners, acknowledging the shared experience of single parents, co-parents, and divorced individuals. She highlights the unseen energy that connects them, despite the podcast being recorded in advance. This episode is dedicated to the guilt and shame many divorced mothers feel, especially after navigating the legal side of divorce but still feeling lost. The Lack of a "What to Expect" Guide for Divorce Unlike pregnancy, where books like What to Expect When You're Expecting provide guidance, divorce comes with no universal roadmap. Audrey discusses the uniqueness of each divorce journey and how the lack of general support inspired her to create this podcast and become a divorce coach. She mentions Michelle Dempsey’s work in the space and the need for more voices in this conversation. Changes Post-Divorce and the Impact on Daily Life Life after divorce is a whirlwind of adjustments—new living arrangements, career shifts, and changing social circles. Audrey shares her own struggles of stepping back into the workforce as a single mother after years away. The pressure of balancing work and parenting with two part-time jobs left little room for joy, reinforcing the cycle of exhaustion and self-doubt. The Voice in Your Head and Imposter Syndrome That little voice in your head? It’s loud, and it’s convincing. Audrey explores the concept of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, particularly when trying to rebuild life post-divorce. She shares her fears of starting a business after years from the professional world and the ego’s tendency to keep us stuck in familiar (but unfulfilling) situations. To combat these doubts, she reads a powerful quote from Marianne Williamson, reminding us of our duty to shine. The Importance of Shining Your Light and Overcoming Fear Fear isn’t just personal—it’s generational. Audrey highlights how our fear of standing in our power influences our children. She shares a moving story of a client afraid to write a book because of how it might make her mother feel. Breaking free from fear isn’t just for us; it’s for the next generation watching and learning from our actions. Personal Journey to Starting the Podcast Audrey gets candid about the years she spent wanting to launch this podcast but letting fear hold her back. She finally leaped when she silenced the negative self-talk and aligned with the proper support (!) Her message? Your dreams are valid, and the right people will help you make them a reality. Encouragement to Pursue Dreams and Overcome Self-Doubt The episode closes with a rallying cry: Stop listening to the voice in your head and start taking action. Whether launching a business, asking for a raise, or pursuing something you’ve always wanted, now is the time. Audrey revisits the Marianne Williamson quote, reinforcing the truth that we are powerful beyond measure. If there’s one thing I want you to take away from this episode, it’s this: You are stronger than the fear holding you back. That voice in your head doesn’t get to define you—you do. Whether it’s starting a new career, finding joy again, or simply believing in yourself, know that you are capable and worthy of it all.

She highlights the power of community support and shares how connecting with other divorced women who’ve lost their ex-spouses has helped her process this experience.

Audrey walks through the overwhelming process of managing Simon’s affairs while balancing her own emotions and those of her children. She reminds listeners that grief is unpredictable and comes in waves. Grieving and Moving Forward Audrey reflects on how grieving a divorce differs from grieving a death.

Memorializing and Letting Go In an ironic twist, Audrey now finds herself holding onto items from her ex-husband’s home—and even his ashes.

Forgiveness, understanding, and community support are key themes in this part of the journey.

She encourages listeners to reach out, share their stories, and seek support. Whether you’re grieving a divorce, a loss, or both, you are not alone. Healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about reclaiming your future. You are allowed to heal at your own pace. Whether you're rediscovering yourself, setting new boundaries, or just learning to breathe again, know that every small step forward is a victory. Give yourself grace, lean into the process, and keep choosing yourself. You are allowed to grieve, heal, and move forward—on your own terms. 💖 Loved this episode?

Audrey breaks down the concept of gaslighting and how emotional, financial, and verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. She shares her personal experience of dating a gaslighter post-divorce and explains how recognizing these red flags is crucial to healing. The Power of Going No Contact For those leaving toxic or narcissistic relationships, cutting off contact is often the best move. Audrey discusses why blocking an ex—on social media, phone, and even email—can be essential for mental clarity and emotional well-being. Drawing from her own experience, she shares how stepping back and refusing to engage helped her reclaim her power and peace of mind. Post-Divorce Growth and Empowerment Leaving a relationship isn’t just an ending—it’s a beginning. Audrey reflects on how her own divorce allowed her to step into her strength, build a thriving career, and become the woman she was meant to be. She encourages listeners to see their journey as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation. Encouragement and Next Steps Audrey wraps up the episode with a powerful message of encouragement: You are brave. You are strong. And this is just the beginning. She invites listeners to connect with her, share their stories, and seek support as they navigate life post-divorce. You don’t need permission to move forward. No regrets, just growth. Leaving a relationship is never easy, but trusting yourself is the key to healing. Doubt may creep in, but remember: you didn’t walk away from a perfect situation. Keep moving forward with confidence, knowing that you are brave, strong, and capable of creating a life you love. Join the Divorced AF Community! Love this episode?

Episode 4 - Friendships 02/02/2025

Episode 4 - Friendships Divorce changes everything—including your friendships. Some people step up, some disappear, and some just don’t know what to say. So how do you navigate friendships post-divorce? Who do you keep, and who do you let go? In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey dives into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes painful world of friendships after divorce. She gets real about the shifts that happen, the people who surprise you (for better or worse), and how to find your true circle. Because let’s be honest—not everyone is meant to come with you into your next chapter. If you’ve ever felt like divorce came with a friend cleanse you didn’t sign up for, this episode is for you. When Friendships Shift After Divorce Audrey opens up about how divorce often reveals who’s truly in your corner. Some friends stick around, others fade away, and then there are the ones who make it clear they were never really there to begin with. Who’s Really Your Friend? Not all friendships are built to last. Audrey breaks down how to tell the difference between people who support you and those who were only around for convenience. Divorce forces you to take a hard look at your relationships—and that’s not always a bad thing. The Awkwardness of Mutual Friends What happens when you and your ex share the same friend group? Audrey discusses the awkward reality of navigating mutual friendships post-divorce and why it’s okay if some of those relationships naturally fade. Letting Go of the Friendships That No Longer Serve You Just like a marriage, some friendships have an expiration date. Audrey shares why it’s important to release relationships that no longer align with your growth and how to do it without guilt. Finding Your Post-Divorce Tribe Not all friendships will survive divorce—but the right ones will. Audrey encourages listeners to seek out the people who uplift, support, and genuinely care about their new chapter. Because sometimes, divorce doesn’t just take people away—it makes room for better ones. Rebuilding Your Support System Friendship breakups can be just as painful as romantic ones. Audrey offers advice on how to rebuild a strong, authentic support system with people who truly have your back. Losing friends after divorce can feel like another heartbreak, but here’s the truth: the people who are meant to be in your life will stay. And the ones who don’t? They were never your people to begin with. You’re stepping into a new chapter. Make sure the people around you deserve a seat at the table. 💖 Loved this episode?

Episode 3 - Closure 02/02/2025

Episode 3 - Closure Closure. We think we need it. We wait for it. We convince ourselves we can’t move on without it. But here’s the thing—closure isn’t always coming. And that? That’s okay. In this episode of Divorced AF, Audrey gets honest about the concept of closure—what it actually is, why we chase it, and how to move forward when we don’t get it. Drawing from her own experience with divorce and addiction, she breaks down the harsh truth: sometimes, the apology, the explanation, the validation we crave never comes. And yet, we can still thrive. This is your reminder that closure isn’t something your ex gives you—it’s something you decide for yourself. The Truth About Closure Audrey opens up about her personal experience of leaving a marriage affected by addiction. She reflects on the moment she realized that waiting for her ex to change—or even admit fault—was a losing game. Closure isn’t about someone else’s words; it’s about your own healing. Who Are You Really Missing? When a relationship ends, do we actually miss the person—or do we miss the version of them we built in our minds? Audrey challenges listeners to get honest about the difference between mourning a person and mourning the potential we once saw in them. Accountability: The Key to Moving On Waiting for closure often means waiting for someone else to take responsibility. But what about self-accountability? Audrey talks about owning your role in past relationships, not to place blame, but to grow and ensure that history doesn’t repeat itself. What If the Apology Never Comes? Spoiler alert: sometimes, the closure you want from your ex isn’t going to happen. Audrey explores what it looks like to find peace without an apology, an explanation, or a final conversation. Because waiting on someone else to give you permission to move on? That’s not it. Healing Without the Final Chapter Letting go doesn’t require a neat ending. Audrey shares practical steps to reclaim your power and close the book on your past—on your terms. She reminds listeners that real closure comes from within, not from someone else’s validation. Your Next Steps ☑ Reflect on who you truly miss—the real person or the version you imagined. ☑ Dive deep into self-love and examine why you allowed certain things in your past relationships. ☑ Decide whether you’re ready to move forward without the closure you once thought you needed. Closure isn’t a conversation. It’s not a text, a confession, or a heartfelt apology from someone who hurt you. Closure is a choice. And the moment you decide you’re done waiting for it? You’re already free. 💖 Loved this episode? Like, subscribe, rate, and share the Divorced AF Podcast!
