47. After the Divorce, I Started Over With Nothing
If you’ve ever wondered what it truly takes to begin again at the end of a marriage when life seems to be literally falling apart all around you, this episode is for you. Beth shares a story of raw, unfiltered reality of starting over after divorce—no tidy bows, just the honest truth behind survival, strength, and the quiet heroism found in everyday moments. Featuring the deeply personal writing of Substack creator Salwa, this story dives into the messiness of rebuilding with nothing but hope and resilience.
Listen in for a powerful reminder that strength can be quiet, victories can be small, and sometimes just showing up is enough. Whether you’re in the middle of your own journey or supporting someone through theirs, you’ll find validation, encouragement, and a sense of community here.
Don’t miss this moving reflection on loss, growth, and the courage to move forward. Hit play and join the conversation—because sometimes, the most important steps are the ones no one sees.
