Emotional Healing after Divorce with Karen Conlon

Guest: Karen Conlon, LCSW | Transformational Coach | Author | Podcast Host

Healing after divorce isn't a checklist… and it definitely isn't a straight line.

In this episode of Diamonds in Dumpster Fires, I'm joined by therapist and Emotionally Wealthy podcast host Karen Conlon to talk about emotional healing after divorce, relationship patterns, and how to move forward in a healthy way.

We unpack the parts of divorce recovery that don't get talked about enough—like why you might still miss your ex years later, how grief shows up even when you chose to leave, and the subtle patterns that can follow you into future relationships.

Karen shares what it really means to build emotional awareness, how to take ownership without falling into shame, and how to recognize whether you're truly ready for dating after divorce—or just feeling burned out from the process.

We also talk about:

What "healthy healing" after divorce actually looks like
Why you might keep choosing the same type of partner
How to tell if your "picker is off"
Signs you're ready (or not ready) for a new relationship
The difference between emotional independence and avoidance

If you've ever wondered:

Why do I still miss my ex?
Am I healing the right way after divorce?
Why do I keep ending up in the same relationship patterns?

This conversation will meet you right where you are.

Because healing isn't about getting it perfect… it's about becoming more aware, more grounded, and a little more honest with yourself along the way.
