Divorce Will Make You Feel Crazy — Here’s Why (and How to Heal)

Starting over after divorce isn’t just about signing papers, it’s about surviving the emotional whiplash, reclaiming your identity, and eventually thriving in your new normal. In this season finale of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I break down the 3 phases of divorce and why the process makes even the strongest women feel like they’re “going crazy.”

From the heartbreaking “Do I stay or go?” stage, to rediscovering who you are outside of marriage, to finally thriving in your new normal, I walk you through what each phase looks like, and how to navigate them without losing yourself. I also share the raw truth about emotional overload, identity collapse, and why triggers like being called “crazy” can cut so deep.

Whether you’re still in the decision phase, knee-deep in separation, or figuring out co-parenting, this episode is packed with insights, encouragement, and a reminder that you’re not alone in this journey.
