Client Story: The Messy Middle of Transformation, Divorce, & Learning to Trust Yourself

A few years ago, Courtney joined me on the podcast during the early stages of her Calm AF transformation. You can listen to that episode here. At the time, she had just returned from one of my retreats where she experienced a powerful future-self visualization that eventually led her to a completely different home and life.

What we didn't fully talk about back then was that she also knew she needed to get divorced.

In this follow-up conversation, Courtney shares what happened in the years between making that life-changing decision and fully stepping into the next version of herself. This episode explores the messy middle of personal transformation: the uncertainty, fear, nervous system dysregulation, relationship patterns, identity shifts, dating after divorce, and learning to trust yourself while everything around you changes.

We talk about what healing actually looks like in real life, why transformation is rarely linear, and how consistent support, community, and nervous system work helped Courtney navigate divorce, motherhood, relationships, and rebuilding her identity over time.

If you've ever felt stuck in limbo, afraid to trust yourself, or frustrated that healing doesn't happen instantly, this conversation will help you feel less alone. Because real transformation is not one breakthrough moment. It's learning how to keep showing up for yourself in the middle of the free fall.
