In this honest conversation, Paula is joined by Ange, a divorce healing specialist, podcast host, speaker, and best-selling author. This episode explores the profound impact of guilt, shame, and unworthiness that often follows a major life event like divorce. Ange and Paula unpack how these deeply rooted, sometimes unconscious beliefs create a 'glass ceiling' that puts limits on the love, money, and abundance we allow ourselves to receive. If you've ever felt stuck in the fear of starting over, losing income, or wanting 'too much,' this conversation will show you what it takes to break through, begin again, and open the door to healing, resilience, and a life of true abundance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Divorce is a deeply traumatic event, ranking second only to the loss of a loved one, and it brings up intense emotions and fears concerning money, relationships, and the future. Guilt, shame, and a sense of unworthiness, often deeply rooted in childhood conditioning, create an inner "glass ceiling" that limits a person's capacity to receive both money/wealth and love. Many people focus their energy outwardly (on the legal "fight" or on their children) and forget that deep healing and moving forward requires stripping back external influences and focusing on the internal trauma and self-love. The capacity to receive love and wealth is directly linked to self-love; you can only give to another the amount of love you can give yourself, and once you get to a place of inner acceptance, you cease to chase and instead allow abundance to come. Outdated societal conditioning (like "money is the root of all evil" or "the man is the breadwinner") creates fear and scarcity, and true freedom comes from recognising that these thoughts are not facts and surrendering to a higher power or the abundance of the universe. BEST MOMENTS "This is a real honest conversation about how our own guilt and shame put limits on how much money and love we believe we're allowed to have." "You can only receive what you believe." "Love is what remains when the feelings of love have withered away." "If you don't know what to do, do nothing. Just be." "Love is what remains when the feelings of love have withered away. And that is that love that you want for your future."
