Redefining Yourself After Divorce: A Chat with Rebecca Thesman
I think it's interesting that I have a list here of things that I kind of wanted to talk about, just because of my experience personally and professionally with other people, of the main things that tend to surface when we think about choosing who we want to be as we go through this and who we want to be in the future, and who is the real me, and what does that even look like?
Divorce can feel like the end of the world, but it can also be the beginning of a new chapter. In this episode of 'Starting Over Stronger', host Annie Allen sits down with author and writing coach Rebecca Thesman to explore how you can rediscover and redefine your identity after a marriage ends.
Thesman brings a wealth of experience, both personal and professional, to the table, offering practical advice on setting boundaries, practicing positive self-talk, and finding joy in new career paths. She emphasizes that it's completely normal to feel disoriented during this transition and reassures listeners that this period of uncertainty is actually an opportunity for growth.
Thesman also shares her own journey of changing her name post-divorce, highlighting how such a step can symbolize shedding the past and embracing a fresh start. Whether you're in the thick of a divorce or emerging from one, this episode offers a roadmap to help you navigate the emotional upheaval and come out stronger on the other side.
