| 209. Foot Zoning for Betrayal Trauma: How Your Feet Hold the Story of Your Body with Susan Child | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:43:48 | |
If you've experienced betrayal trauma, abuse, or divorce, you already know how deeply it lives in the body, not just the mind. In this episode, I sit down with Susan, founder of Soul Connections and an experienced foot zoning practitioner and holistic wellness educator, to talk about how the body holds and releases trauma, and how something as simple as your feet can become a doorway back to yourself. Susan has spent years helping women reconnect with their bodies through foot zoning, an ancient practice rooted in the idea that meridians running through the feet connect to every organ, muscle, and system in the body. We talk about what foot zoning actually is, how trauma drains the body's energy reserves, why the adrenals take such a hit during prolonged unsafe relationships, and how women can start rebuilding self-trust one small, tangible step at a time. This conversation is a reminder that healing is holistic. The mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual are never separate, and sometimes the smallest physical practice, like pressing a point between your toes, is enough to remind your nervous system that it's safe to come home.

| 208. Stages Of Denial | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:27:35 | |
If you've ever known something was wrong but couldn't quite let yourself fully see it — this episode is for you. Today I'm sharing a video I created called Stages of Denial: Denial, Awareness, and the Courage to See Things as They Really Are. And I'm airing it here because this conversation matters not just when you're still in the relationship trying to figure out what's real, but after you leave too. Even years into healing, denial can still be present — denial about the severity of what you experienced, about the impact it had on you, and sometimes even about your own healing timeline. This one meets you wherever you are right now. What we cover:

| 207. Healing From Abuse | 20 Aug 2026 | 00:32:42 | |
Healing from an abusive relationship doesn't end when you leave. In this episode, betrayal trauma coach and somatic practitioner Amie Woolsey gets honest about what it actually looks like to heal from abusive and controlling relationship patterns after divorce — and why your nervous system may still be living inside the old relationship long after the papers are signed. Whether you are navigating post-separation abuse, still in the middle of a high-conflict divorce, or years out and wondering why certain patterns keep showing up, this episode was made for you. _______________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey Free Video Series "Am I In An Abusive Relationship" :You will receive an email containing videos that guide you through the 8 domains of a relationship and explore potentially destructive dynamics you may be experiencing.Each video includes a worksheet to help you reflect on your lived experience and gain greater clarity and understanding of your reality.Please note: the email subject line will not include the word "abuse." https://amiewoolsey.com/am-i-in-an-abusive-relationship 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to join interest list https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 206. Songs That Heal: A Divorce Recovery Conversation with Singer-Songwriter Brian Wolff | 13 Aug 2026 | 00:52:32 | |
This episode welcomes guest Brian Wolff, a singer-songwriter based here in Austin Texas who I discovered in the most Austin way possible: playing live at the farmers market on a Saturday morning. One particular song stopped me in my tracks, and I knew I had to have him on. We talk through two of his songs together, line by line, and explore how they connect to the work of healing from betrayal trauma and divorce, even though that's not where they originally came from. What we cover:
Hope, even in the hard stuff. That's the thread running through everything Brian writes, and it's the thread I hope runs through this whole season. _______________________ https://www.brianwolffmusic.com/about @brianwolffmusic Spotify: Brian Wolff https://open.spotify.com/artist/5tW2IMfCtMzMHLij0PlQht?si=Zx3kEw4BT4uMcSvwKmNksQ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey Free Video Series "Am I In An Abusive Relationship" :You will receive an email containing videos that guide you through the 8 domains of a relationship and explore potentially destructive dynamics you may be experiencing.Each video includes a worksheet to help you reflect on your lived experience and gain greater clarity and understanding of your reality.Please note: the email subject line will not include the word "abuse." https://amiewoolsey.com/am-i-in-an-abusive-relationship 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to join interest list https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 205. Summer Song Series 2026; Stay Or Go with Elizabeth Garnett | 06 Aug 2026 | 00:37:52 | |
What does it cost you to stay? What does it cost you to leave? And what happens when you have been stuck in that question so long you have stopped trusting yourself entirely? In this Summer Song Series episode, Amie is joined by her friend and former client Elizabeth Garnett to talk about a song Elizabeth wrote from the deepest part of her own healing journey. Stay or Go captures what so many women in the middle of this decision cannot find words for: the soul-level exhaustion of staying, the terrifying unknown of leaving, and the price you pay for not choosing at all. This is a conversation about creative healing, the weight of the stuck place, what it really costs to stay comfortable in your discomfort, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is ask yourself: at what cost?

| 204. Summer Song Series 2026; "I Miss Me Too" :How Betrayal Makes You Lose Yourself (and Find Yourself Again) | 30 Jul 2026 | 00:19:41 | |
There is a moment in healing that does not get talked about enough — the moment you realize you are not just grieving the relationship. You are grieving yourself. The version of you that existed before the lies, before the walking on eggshells, before you started shrinking to make room for someone who was never going to show up the way you needed. This week's Summer Song Series episode is built around I Miss Me Too by Kyndal — a song that puts language to one of the most painful and least-named parts of betrayal recovery: identity erosion. In this episode, I breaks down the lyrics line by line and connects them to the real healing work of coming back to yourself after chronic deception, betrayal trauma, and a life-saving divorce. If you have ever driven in your car and thought — I miss who I was before all of this — this episode is for you. Featured Song I Miss Me Too by Kyndal Journal Prompt Describe a moment — before this relationship, or early in your life — when you felt most like yourself. What were you doing? What did it feel like in your body? What did you know about yourself in that moment that you want to remember? ___________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 203. Stages of Healing After Betrayal Trauma & Divorce (Part 2) | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:45:46 | |
This is a re-airing of Part 2 of the Victim → Chooser series, where I continue the framework for understanding the emotional and cognitive stages of healing after betrayal, abuse, and relational trauma. In Part 1, I walked through the Victim and Emerger stages. In this episode, I move into the deeper reclamation process and what it actually looks like to step into agency through the Reclaimer and Chooser stages. This episode is not about perfection or “getting it right.” It’s about awareness, normalization, and learning how to recognize when your nervous system is shifting out of survival and into choice. In this episode, I explore:
The Reclaimer stage is where people begin to return to themselves—trusting their body, rebuilding intuition, and realizing they are not powerless or “crazy,” but often were living inside a distorted reality created through betrayal or abuse. The Chooser stage is where agency becomes embodied. Not because life is easy, but because you begin to trust yourself enough to stay with yourself through anything. Choices are guided by values, not fear. And your identity is no longer defined by trauma, other people, or past experiences. If you’re in a season where things feel unclear or you’re questioning your direction, this episode is meant to help you locate yourself—not judge yourself.

| 202. Stages of Healing After Betrayal: From Victim Thinking to Choosing Your Life (Part 1) | 16 Jul 2026 | 00:37:53 | |
This episode is a re-airing of a previously recorded two-part series on shifting from a victim mindset into a chooser mindset after betrayal, abuse, and relational trauma. I’m bringing this one back because this framework has been coming up more with clients lately, especially those navigating divorce, post-separation abuse, and the early rebuilding stages of their life after betrayal. In this first part, I walk through the “Victim → Emerger” stages of healing and the thoughts that often show up in each space. This isn’t about labeling yourself or putting yourself in a box. It’s about building awareness so you can recognize where your mind tends to land under stress, overwhelm, or trauma activation. We explore how certain thoughts in the victim stage are actually protective in the beginning—but can become limiting when we stay there too long. Then we move into the emerger stage, where reality starts to come into focus, emotions begin to surface, and possibility starts to feel slightly more accessible. You’ll hear themes around:
This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Next week I’ll re-air Part 2 where I move into Reclaimer and Chooser mindset stages and how we begin stepping into agency in a grounded, embodied way. If you’re in a season where things feel disorienting, heavy, or unclear—this framework is meant to help you orient, not judge where you are. And just a reminder: healing isn’t linear, and you don’t move through these stages perfectly. Most people move in and out of them as they stabilize and rebuild.

| 201. Why You Feel Stuck in the Past After Divorce (And How to Heal Your Nervous System) | 09 Jul 2026 | 00:17:12 | |
After a life-saving divorce, many people expect that once they leave the relationship, they should feel better and move forward. But instead, they find themselves replaying memories, feeling on edge, or reacting to triggers that seem small but feel overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about why feeling stuck in the past is not a sign that you’re doing something wrong—it’s often a sign that your nervous system has not fully processed the shock, betrayal, and chronic stress you lived through. I explore how trauma responses like hypervigilance, rumination, and emotional reactivity are actually protective responses from the body, and why healing requires more than just thinking differently. Somatic work—healing that includes the body—can help restore a sense of safety, reduce reactivity, and support real movement forward after divorce. You’ll also hear reassurance that healing does not require erasing the good memories or having every answer. It means learning to hold the full truth of your story while building stability, choice, and agency in your life again. ________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th👉 Click here to jon the interest list https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 200. Will My Kids Be OK After Divorce? A Daughter Answers/ Part 2 | 02 Jul 2026 | 00:31:18 | |
In Part 2 of this deeply personal and powerful conversation, my daughter, McKenna, continues sharing her perspective of growing up through divorce, betrayal, emotional pain, healing, and family repair. This episode moves beyond the fear many parents carry and into something deeper: what actually helped a child heal. Together, we explore the realities children often face silently during divorce and family trauma — navigating loyalty binds, emotional overwhelm, parentification, confusion, grief, and the pressure to carry emotions that were never theirs to hold. McKenna vulnerably shares what was helpful, what was harmful, and what she wishes parents understood while navigating separation and healing. This conversation covers:
One of the most meaningful moments in this episode is the reminder that children are not looking for perfect parents. They are looking for safety, honesty, consistency, and parents willing to keep growing. McKenna also shares an incredibly important perspective for fathers who may feel discouraged, disconnected, or afraid they’ve damaged the relationship beyond repair: do not stop reaching out. Children still need to know they are loved. ________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to join interest list https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 199. Will My Kids Be OK After Divorce? A Daughter Answers / Part 1 | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:45:33 | |
What is it really like for children growing up in a home impacted by betrayal, emotional abuse, addiction, and divorce? In this deeply vulnerable episode, Alana Gordon and I sit down with a very special guest — My oldest daughter, McKenna — to hear firsthand what the experience was like from the child’s perspective. Together, we explore the emotional realities children often carry silently: sensing tension in the home, questioning their own intuition, navigating loyalty binds between parents, and learning how to process grief, fear, confusion, and attachment wounds during and after divorce. McKenna openly shares her journey through family transition, therapy, healing, and the powerful impact of emotional safety, honesty, and healthy support systems. This conversation brings hope to parents who fear:
We also discuss:
One of the most powerful themes in this episode is the reminder that children do not need perfect parents. They need emotionally safe parents willing to grow, repair, and create space for truth and healing. McKenna’s story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible — not just for parents, but for children too.

| 198. When Your Kids Don't Support You After Divorce | 18 Jun 2026 | 00:38:42 | |
What happens when your children don’t understand — or even resist — your healing journey? In this deeply honest conversation, Alana Gordon and I explore the painful and complicated reality many parents face after divorce, betrayal, addiction, or relational trauma: trying to heal while navigating disconnection, anger, or distance from their children. We talk about the instinct to over explain, defend ourselves, or try to convince our kids to “see” our growth… and why that often comes from our own attachment wounds and fear of losing connection. This episode dives into:
We also talk about the reality that children — even adult children — are navigating their own grief, attachment wounds, and identity shifts during and after divorce. Their reactions are not always a reflection of your worth or your healing. If you are in the painful space of feeling misunderstood, rejected, or disconnected from your children while trying to rebuild your life, this episode is for you. You are not failing because this is hard. You are learning how to love without controlling, how to stay connected without abandoning yourself, and how to create safety from the inside out. ___________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to be informed when next workshop is available! https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 195. What Kids Really Need When There’s Betrayal in the Family with Morgan Ellsworth LMFT | 28 May 2026 | 00:47:54 | |
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Morgan Ellsworth for a meaningful conversation about how betrayal and divorce impact kids—especially teens and young adults—and what parents can do to support them as they navigate the emotional aftermath of family change. Divorce can bring relief in some ways, but it can also leave children carrying confusion, grief, loyalty conflicts, and unanswered questions. We talk about what kids are really experiencing beneath the surface, how they interpret the changes happening around them, and why their healing deserves attention right alongside your own. If you’ve ever worried about whether your kids are going to be okay… or wondered if you’ve missed something along the way… this conversation will offer both reassurance and practical direction. You’ll hear insights about creating emotional safety, staying connected during transitions, and helping your children make sense of their story in healthy ways. Even after divorce, your presence, your willingness to listen, and your steadiness can become one of the most powerful anchors in your child’s healing.

| BONUS EPISODE: Dating After Betrayal: How to Trust Yourself Again | 24 May 2026 | 00:20:45 | |
Dating From Within June 11th-13th https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page After betrayal, abuse, and divorce, I see so many women become hyperfocused on learning every red flag, analyzing behaviors, and trying to figure out who is safe and who is not. But healing and healthy dating are not built from hypervigilance alone. In this bonus episode, I talk about why the real shift in dating after betrayal happens from the inside out. I explore how betrayal trauma disconnects women from their own body, intuition, needs, and discernment—and why reconnecting to yourself is the foundation of future healthy relationships. I break down the difference between externally scanning for danger versus internally learning to trust yourself again. In this episode, I discuss:
I also share practical ways to begin rebuilding self-trust, reconnecting to your body, and creating a dating experience rooted in awareness, acceptance, and agency rather than fear and survival. This episode is also an invitation to the upcoming Dating From Within Workshop happening June 11–13, created specifically for women healing from betrayal trauma, abuse, and divorce who want to approach dating and relationships differently moving forward. ______________ Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 194. How to Talk to Your Kids About Divorce — Even Years Later | 21 May 2026 | 01:06:14 | |
Divorce is not a one-time conversation with your children. Whether you are preparing to talk to your children about separation, recently divorced, or years down the road and still navigating hard questions, this episode offers guidance for staying steady in those moments. Many parents carry enormous pressure to say the right thing, avoid causing harm, or protect their children from pain. But what children need most is not perfection—it is presence, honesty, and emotional safety. In this episode, I walk through what actually helps children adjust to divorce and how to respond when new questions arise long after the initial transition. We talk about how to stay grounded when emotions run high, how to answer difficult questions about the other parent, and how to support your child’s nervous system through ongoing change. You will also hear reassurance that repair matters. Even if conversations didn’t happen in the “ideal” way at the beginning, trust can still be rebuilt over time. This conversation is for any parent who wants to show up as the steady, safe place for their child—no matter where they are in the divorce journey. This episode is especially helpful if you:

| 192. When Will It Stop Being So Hard? Owning Your Story | 07 May 2026 | 00:22:05 | |
So many women reach a point in their healing journey where they feel completely exhausted and quietly ask themselves, “I am so done with the hard… when does this get easier?” In this episode, I talk directly to that moment. Not to dismiss the fatigue or tell you to push through it, but to explore why the hard can linger long after the divorce is finalized—and what actually helps it begin to soften. One of the biggest reasons the hard stays stuck is because the story hasn’t been fully named, seen, or spoken. Many women learn to summarize what happened or keep their pain at a safe distance just to function day to day. But healing often begins when you allow yourself to tell the truth about your experience in your own words—without minimizing it, editing it, or protecting others from the reality of what you lived through. In this episode, I walk you through a simple but powerful process: writing your story, seeing it clearly, and speaking it out loud so your nervous system can finally recognize that it was real—and that you survived it. If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, triggered, or stuck in grief, this conversation will help you understand why those feelings make sense and what you can do to start releasing the weight you’ve been carrying. You’ll also hear how owning your story can become the turning point that helps you move from just surviving the hard… to finally feeling some relief. Next week, I’ll be joined by divorce coach Megan Norris as we continue this conversation and explore how owning your story can shape your future in powerful ways. _______________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 191. Alone vs. Lonely After Divorce: Understanding the Grief No One Talks About | 30 Apr 2026 | 00:30:13 | |
After divorce—especially after betrayal or a life-saving separation—many women find themselves using one word to describe their experience: alone. But being alone and feeling lonely are not the same thing. In this episode, I talk about the difference between those two experiences and why separating them can be a turning point in healing. I share personal stories about grief that still shows up years later, the quiet moments that test self-trust the most, and why learning to stand inside your own life is one of the most powerful things you can do after divorce. This conversation is not about putting a positive spin on something painful. If you’ve ever stood in a quiet house, missed partnership, or wondered why the loneliness feels so heavy, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening—and what to do next. _______________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 190. Trusting After Betrayal With David Richo PhD | 23 Apr 2026 | 00:46:12 | |
Trust can feel impossible after betrayal. Not just trust in another person, but trust in yourself. Trust in your intuition. Trust in love. Trust in life. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with psychotherapist and author David Richo to explore what trust really is, why trusting again feels so risky after betrayal or divorce, and how rebuilding trust begins from the inside out. We talk about the courage it takes to trust again, the role of self trust in healing, and how strength is not about avoiding pain but knowing you can handle it if it comes. This episode is not about blind trust. It is about grounded trust. About the Guest David Richo is a psychotherapist, teacher, and author known for his work on emotional healing, relationships, and mindfulness. His teachings integrate Jungian psychology, Buddhist principles, and decades of clinical experience helping individuals navigate loss, betrayal, and personal growth. His books, including Daring to Trust and When the Past Is Present, focus on building emotional strength, self awareness, and resilience in relationships. Memorable Quotes From This Episode Trust is daring because there is always a possibility that someone will disappoint you. We are not looking for someone who will never hurt us. We are looking to become strong enough to handle it. You do not need revenge to move forward. You need strength. Trust is not about controlling outcomes. It is about building inner resources.

| 189. From Grief to Meaning: The Real Path to Acceptance After Divorce | 16 Apr 2026 | 00:23:27 | |
In this episode, we continue the conversation from last week by going deeper into one of the most misunderstood parts of the healing process: acceptance. This is not about agreeing with what happened, minimizing the pain, or pretending everything is okay. Acceptance is about acknowledging reality so your energy can begin to shift back into your own life. We explore why acceptance can feel so threatening to the nervous system, why many people stay in grief longer than expected, and how secondary losses after divorce or betrayal trauma can keep you feeling stuck. Most importantly, we talk about how acceptance creates the space for agency to come back online — and how meaning can be built even while the pain is still present. If this episode feels tender or uncomfortable, that is not a sign you are doing anything wrong. It may simply mean that something true was touched. Key Takeaways Acceptance is acknowledgment, not agreement. You do not have to like reality to accept that it exists. Grief is not linear. You may move forward, backward, and sideways through the stages of grief. That is normal. Secondary losses are real losses. Changes in finances, housing, identity, parenting time, and stability can deeply affect your nervous system and sense of safety. Victimhood is accurate after harm. The problem is not being a victim. The problem is when that becomes the only story available to you. Acceptance creates space for agency. When reality is acknowledged, energy becomes available for choice. Meaning does not replace pain. Meaning grows alongside grief, not instead of it. ______________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- June 11th-13th 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 188. Why Do I Feel Guilty, Even When I Know It's Right To Divorce? | 09 Apr 2026 | 00:39:09 | |
Many women walk away from a marriage knowing deep down they made the right decision, yet still feel overwhelmed by guilt and grief. Especially when children are involved, the emotional weight can feel confusing and heavy. In this episode, I talk about the kind of guilt that doesn’t make logical sense, the sadness that shows up when anger was expected, and why grief after betrayal and divorce is not a flaw in the system. I also share practical ways to separate responsibility from guilt, give grief a safe place to move through the body, and show up for your children while still honoring your own healing. This conversation is for anyone navigating a high conflict divorce, betrayal trauma, or the emotional aftermath of a life-saving divorce. You are not broken for feeling this way. You are responding to loss.

| 187. Who Am I? Finding Yourself After Divorce & Betrayal Trauma | 02 Apr 2026 | 00:32:00 | |
If you've ever stood in the middle of your new life after divorce and genuinely not known who you are anymore, this episode is for you. Losing yourself in a marriage built on betrayal is not a character flaw — it's what happens when you spend years trying to be enough for someone who was never fully honest with you. In this episode, I walk through what it actually looks like to rebuild your identity after divorce, not by performing a new version of yourself, but by slowly coming back to the one that was always there. I share my own experience of losing myself so completely that my own parents didn't recognize me, and how I started finding my way back through small intentional choices that had nothing to do with anyone else's approval. I also introduce my seven levels of intimacy framework and show you how to flip those inward — because the most important relationship you will ever rebuild after divorce is the one you have with yourself. This is the foundation. Everything else, including dating again, gets built on top of this. ______________ Intimacy Within Self Paced Course- START TODAY! https://intimacywithin.amiewoolsey.com/intimacy-within-page ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- Get on the Interest List 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 186. High Functioning Codependency with Terri Cole | 26 Mar 2026 | 00:51:48 | |
Have you ever been the strong one — the one who holds everything together, manages everyone's emotions, and keeps the ship running — but quietly wondered why you're so exhausted? In this episode I'm sitting down with licensed psychotherapist and bestselling author Terri Cole to talk about something she coined called high functioning codependency (HFC). This isn't the codependency you picture. It shows up in capable, successful women who over-function, over-give, and over-manage — and it's exactly the pattern so many of us bring into divorce, co-parenting, and new relationships without even realizing it. We talk about what HFC looks like when you're parallel parenting after betrayal, how anticipatory anxiety keeps you stuck in overdrive, why strong women are the last to recognize these patterns in themselves, and how awareness is the first step to finally breaking the cycle. If you've ever felt like you can't stop fixing, rescuing, or doing it all — this one is for you. 👉 Take Terri's free boundary style quiz: https://boundaryquiz.com👉 Learn more about Terri and her books Boundary Boss and Too Much: https://www.terricole.com @terricole _________________________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- Get on the Interest List 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 185. Waiting For The Next Shoe To Drop | 19 Mar 2026 | 00:53:28 | |
If you've ever laughed out loud and immediately braced for something bad to follow, or found yourself scanning for what's wrong the moment something finally feels right, this episode is for you. Betrayal trauma doesn't just break your heart — it breaks your nervous system's ability to trust that good things are safe to feel. In this episode, I unpack the psychology behind foreboding joy, anticipatory anxiety, and hypervigilance after betrayal, including why your brain actually rewards negative prediction, and why that pattern is not a character flaw. Drawing on Ronnie Janoff-Bulman's assumptive world theory, Brené Brown's research on foreboding joy, and Frank Corrigan's somatic trauma work, I walk you through my SHORE framework — a body-based practice for moving from chronic hypervigilance toward regulated discernment. SHORE stands for: Soften the brace, Honor the strategy, Orient to the now, Resource from the inside, and Expand the window for good. Because you don't need to predict the future to be safe. You only need to trust that you can handle it — and this episode shows you how to start building that from the inside out. ________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- Get on the Interest List 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 184. How To Set Boundaries After Divorce Part 2 | 12 Mar 2026 | 00:36:03 | |
You've heard it a hundred times — you need boundaries. You agree, you nod along, and then you close the app and have no idea where to start. In this episode I'm getting into the actual how. I walk you through the stages of boundary setting, the real difference between a request and a boundary, and give you word-for-word language you can use with your ex today. I also get honest about the long list of things you simply cannot control after divorce — even when they affect your kids — and why the most powerful boundaries you'll ever set are the ones you set with yourself. This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you missed Part 1, go back and listen first — that's where we figure out where your boundaries are missing. ______________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- Get on the Interest List 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 183. How to Know When You Need a Boundary After Divorce or Betrayal Trauma I Part 1 | 05 Mar 2026 | 00:37:06 | |
If you’ve ever listened to a boundaries episode, nodded the whole time, and then shut it off thinking, “Okay… but what do I actually do?” this one is for you. In today’s episode, I’m not teaching boundaries in theory. I’m helping you figure out where you actually need one, especially if you’re navigating betrayal, post separation abuse, high conflict divorce, or ongoing co parenting stress. Because when you’ve been living in chronic activation for a long time, it’s hard to tell what’s normal stress, what’s grief, and what’s your body saying, “We need protection.” This episode is Part 1 of a two part series. This week we focus on awareness and clarity. Next week we’ll go into boundary language and implementation.
Use these four questions this week to notice where boundaries are missing:
No fixing yet. No pressure. Just noticing. __________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- Get on the Interest List 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 182. Why “I Don’t Need Anyone” Isn’t Healing ...With Guest Geoff Steurer MC, LMFT | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:46:58 | |
Healthy Dependence After Betrayal: The Attachment Truth About “I Don’t Need Anyone” If you’ve been betrayed, divorced, or coming out of a relationship where you lost yourself, it makes total sense if you swung hard into “I don’t need anyone.” For a while, that kind of hyper independence can feel like safety. Like a fortress. Like finally no one can regulate you, hurt you, or take you down again. But here’s the part no one wants to say out loud. That extreme independence is not the same as secure attachment. And it can create a false sense of safety that actually keeps you stuck, disconnected, and terrified of ever trusting again. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Geoff, who has over 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples heal from betrayal and attachment injury. We talk about the difference between healthy differentiation and emotional walling off, why you’re wired for connection even after divorce, and what secure attachment actually looks like when you’ve been through betrayal, abuse, and loss. This is a conversation for my divorce ladies who want love again but are scared as hell. If you’ve wondered if it’s even safe to need someone, or if you have to be fully healed before dating again, you’re going to feel seen here. • Why “I don’t need anyone” can feel empowering but still be a trauma response _______________________ Geoff Steurer: https://www.geoffsteurer.com/ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING https://amiewoolsey.com/amie-woolsey 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- Get on the Interest List 👉 Click here to register https://datingfromwithin.amiewoolsey.com/dating-from-within-page 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 181. Self objectification after betrayal, and how to come back | 19 Feb 2026 | 00:39:28 | |
In this episode I talk with you about self objectification and how it quietly pulls you out of your own life. Many women learn to experience themselves from the outside in, constantly evaluating how their body looks instead of feeling what their body needs. This can come from sexual abuse, purity culture, early exposure to pornography, body shaming, or sexual betrayal in adult relationships. Over time your body stops feeling like home and starts feeling like a project to fix, present, or protect. I walk you through the difference between healthy self awareness and self objectification, and why living under the imagined gaze of others creates anxiety, shame, perfectionism, and disconnection from your own internal cues like hunger, desire, and intuition. I also talk about how pornography culture and sexual betrayal intensify this pattern, turning your nervous system toward constant comparison, threat detection, and body monitoring. The invitation here is not to convince yourself you are beautiful. The invitation is to become a person again, not a body first and a person second. I offer simple, practical steps to notice when you leave your body, gently return, and build an internal sense of safety that is not dependent on being attractive. This is about reclaiming your humanity, softening the bracing in your body, and learning to live from the inside out. ___________________________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Dating From Within Workshop- Get on the Interest List 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 180. Betrayal Trauma and the Nervous System: Building Safety Within | 12 Feb 2026 | 00:34:18 | |
In this episode, I’m talking about something that gets misunderstood all the time: what safety actually is when your nervous system has lived in chronic relational threat. If you’ve noticed triggers around Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, kid exchanges, family gatherings, Target runs, or even a simple text from your ex, you are not crazy. Your body learned to scan for danger because it had to. And while getting more truth can matter, truth alone does not automatically create safety inside your body. I break down why healing after betrayal is a different kind of divorce, why “just move on” advice does not work, and how self love grows when you learn to become a safe place for you. I also teach the four parts of “safety within” so you can start practicing it in real life: internal permission, internal protection, internal soothing, and internal choice. We’ll talk about the pendulum swing between retreat and over exposure, why avoidance sometimes gets mislabeled as boundaries, and how to tell the difference between real present day danger and trauma activation. If you feel like you have done all the mindset work, all the books, all the therapy, and you still feel stuck, I also share why that is often a sign it’s time for somatic work. You cannot think your way into safety if your body is still living in the old threat. This episode will help you stop treating triggers like a prophecy and start using them as information, so you can stay connected to yourself even when life is messy, because you are the chooser in your life and you get to create that internal safety one step at a time. ___________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Intimacy Within: Self-Paced Course :Want real connection in a future relationship?

| 179. Why Valentine’s Day ( and Love) Is Triggering After Betrayal Trauma | 05 Feb 2026 | 00:24:46 | |
February can feel like love is being shoved in your face. Cards, candy, flowers, couples, social media, and if you’re healing from betrayal trauma and a life saving divorce, it can feel like the world is celebrating something your body doesn’t trust yet. In this episode, I’m talking about Valentine’s Day triggers, anniversary triggers, and why being activated right now does not mean you’re not healing. I’ll help you look at triggers as information, not a verdict, and walk you through how to tell the difference between past threat and present day threat. I also talk about the anniversary response or body calendar, why you can feel off before you even realize what date is coming, and why progress often looks like less intensity, less time, and a faster return to center. And if you’re in that place of “how could he” or “why wasn’t my love enough,” I’ll help you reframe it so you can honor the love you gave without abandoning yourself again. We’ll end with practical ways to choose safer love right now, without forcing romance, and without shutting your heart down. _________________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Intimacy Within: Self-Paced Course :Want real connection in a future relationship?

| 178. Breathwork After Betrayal: How Somatic Healing Helps Release Trauma Stored in the Body W/ Hali Roderick | 29 Jan 2026 | 00:38:08 | |
Breathwork can feel intimidating after betrayal trauma, yet it can also be one of the most powerful ways to release what the body has been holding. In this episode of The Empowered Divorce Podcast, Amie is joined by her friend and colleague Halle for a grounded, trauma informed conversation about somatic breathwork. Together they explore why breathwork can feel intense after trauma, how betrayal lives in the body, and why healing often requires more than talking things through. They discuss nervous system activation, emotional release, and the importance of safety and co regulation when doing somatic work. Halle shares how breathwork helps quiet the survival brain, clear stored trauma, and allow women to reconnect with their bodies in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. This episode also introduces the upcoming Costa Rica women’s retreat and offers practical ways to begin reconnecting with your breath today, even if you are not ready for a formal breathwork session. In this episode, you’ll learn:

| 177. January Live Q&A; Self Compassion, Self Regulation, and Rebuilding Trust With Yourself | 22 Jan 2026 | 00:17:00 | |
January can feel overwhelming after betrayal, separation, or divorce. It is often called “divorce month,” a time when pressure to change, decide, or move forward quickly is everywhere. In this episode of The Empowered Divorce Podcast, Amie shares a powerful portion of her January live Q and A, offering grounded guidance for women who feel emotionally exhausted, dysregulated, or unsure how to care for themselves right now. Amie walks listeners through four foundational areas of healing that help rebuild safety and trust within the body after betrayal trauma: self compassion, self regulation, self advocacy, and self trust. She explains why these are not things you have to earn or fix, but capacities you already have access to, even when healing feels slow or messy. You will hear Amie unpack why self compassion never disappears, even when you choose rest over productivity, how to untangle unhealthy co regulation with an ex, and how learning to say no to yourself in small ways can become a powerful form of self advocacy. She also answers a thoughtful question from the group about how to balance self compassion with self discipline without turning healing into another perfectionistic checklist.

| 176. Why Me? Making Sense of Betrayal, Pain, and Unanswered Questions | 15 Jan 2026 | 00:26:58 | |
In this episode of The Empowered Divorce Podcast, Amie talks about the deeply human question so many betrayed partners ask: “Why me?” When you’ve loved well, worked hard, forgiven, tried, gone to therapy, and betrayal or divorce still happens — your nervous system searches for meaning, justice, and safety. Amie gently explores why this question shows up, how rumination can keep you stuck, and how self-compassion, nervous system awareness, meaning-making, and agency can slowly help shift the question from “Why did this happen to me?” to “What do I choose now?” You’ll also hear a powerful story from the life of speaker John O’Leary and how post-traumatic growth does not mean minimizing pain — but learning to live forward with more self-honor and grounding. This episode will validate your pain, normalize your questions, and remind you that your worth and future are not defined by betrayal.

| 175. How Do I Know If It’s Trauma or Intuition After Betrayal? | 08 Jan 2026 | 00:28:37 | |
If you’ve lived through betrayal, it can feel almost impossible to know whether your body is warning you… or whether trauma is pulling the alarm. In this episode, I talk with you about the difference between intuition and trauma responses, why your nervous system reacts before your brain does, and how you can gently start trusting yourself again. I’ll walk you through simple ways to check in with your body, notice what’s happening in the moment, and separate old fear from present-day truth. You’ll also hear how safe relationships and somatic healing can slowly help your nervous system relax so your intuition doesn’t have to scream to be heard. If you’re scared to date again, afraid you’ll miss the red flags, or worried you can’t trust your gut anymore, this conversation will help you begin rebuilding self-trust in a compassionate, grounded way. • How betrayal trauma changes your nervous system • You keep asking, “Is this trauma or intuition?” ______________________________ LIVE -FREE Monthly Q&A Session Dating After Divorce Workshop- January 8th-10th ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Dating From Within Workshop January 8th-10th 2026\ 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 174. Returning to You: Reconnecting With Your Body After Betrayal and Divorce | 01 Jan 2026 | 00:39:24 | |
When you’ve lived through betrayal, emotional abuse, or a life-saving divorce, your nervous system learns to survive by disconnecting from your own body. You become hyper-attuned to everyone else — their moods, needs, reactions — while abandoning your own. And when the world chants “new year, new you,” it can feel like pressure stacked on top of pain. In this episode, I talk about what it really means to heal: not reinventing yourself, but gently returning to the you who has always been there. We explore why your body still feels braced, numb, foggy, or unsafe — and how to slowly rebuild self-trust through compassion, awareness, and safety. I share deeply personal stories, real-life examples, and supportive ways to reconnect to your sensations, intuition, voice, limits, and needs… without forcing anything or judging the pace. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I just move on?” — this conversation will remind you that your body is not the problem. It’s the witness. And you are not broken — you are becoming. __________________________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Dating From Within Workshop January 8th-10th 2026\ 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 173. Trauma Bonding or Post Divorce -Adaptive Bonding Cycle? | 25 Dec 2025 | 00:34:12 | |
This is a re-airing of a past episode that is so worth the second air time. When I read the new term and definition of Partner Adaptive Bonding Cycle created by my friend and colleague @Hope Ray, LPC, CSAT, CHFP, CCPS, I felt like something landed in my body and my body liked it. A language, if you will, to explain what I had experienced in my previous marriage. I also started to see how this also continues to show up in many ways post divorce. In today's episode, I'm sharing a sub term that had also yet to be defined, and I wanted to define it– The Post-Divorce Adaptive Bonding Cycle (Post-Divorce ABC). This definition and model matters because understanding it can empower you to make choices and heal, especially if you've experienced betrayal and violence in your divorce. In todays episode I'm sharing the basic idea of this model with key components that qualify this. Key Components of PABCPost-Divorce ABC comprises:
Join me today as I introduce this new model and your practice work from this episode is to. be curious as to how these key components might be showing up for you.

| 172. How Caring Less Is Not Careless | 18 Dec 2025 | 00:29:43 | |
Have you ever wished you could just stop caring so much about what people think? Maybe you find yourself constantly worrying about what others believe about you—your ex, your in-laws, your friends—and completely forgetting what you think about you. If you’ve gone through betrayal, abuse, or a life-saving divorce, this one’s for you. Because I get it. That deep need to be understood, to have people see your heart and the truth of your story—it can take up so much energy. But what if you could care less about the things that drain you and care more about what truly matters? In this episode, I’m talking about why we care so much in the first place and how that’s connected to our attachment patterns, our nervous system, and what we learned early on about love and belonging. I’ll share how my own over-caring showed up during and after divorce, why it was tied to justice and survival, and what finally helped me release it. You’ll also hear how Dr. Gabor Maté’s work around authenticity and attachment helped me understand that real belonging can’t exist without being true to ourselves. When we sacrifice who we are to keep connection, that’s not love—it’s compliance. Together, we’ll explore how to rebuild self-trust—the kind that helps you stand strong in your truth even when others don’t understand or agree. Because caring less isn’t about becoming cold or detached. It’s about reclaiming your inner compass and letting your sense of safety come from within, not from other people’s comfort. _________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Dating From Within Workshop January 8th-10th 2026\ 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 170. Hope After Betrayal and Divorce: How to Heal, Believe, and Begin Again | 04 Dec 2025 | 00:24:37 | |
When betrayal shatters your trust and divorce changes everything you thought your life would be, hope can feel impossible. You might find yourself thinking, “I’ll never trust again.” or “Maybe I’m just too broken to start over.” In this episode, we’re unpacking what hope after betrayal and divorce really means—what it is, what it isn’t, and how to find it again when it feels completely gone. Hope isn’t about waiting for someone else to change or for life to return to what it was; it’s about reclaiming your agency, your self-trust, and your ability to believe in what’s still possible for you. We’ll talk about how to recognize false hope, rebuild your inner strength, and reconnect to the kind of hope that comes from within—the kind that lets you believe in you again.
“Hope isn’t waiting for someone to save you. If you’ve lost hope in love, in men, or even in your ability to trust yourself again—this is where healing begins.

| 168. Strategies for Post-Separation Abuse and High-Conflict Co-Parenting w/ Bridget Bennett | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:50:17 | |
In this powerful episode of The Empowered Divorce Podcast, I sit down with custody strategist and high-conflict communication coach Bridget Bennett to talk about one of the hardest realities of divorce: post-separation abuse. The truth is, the toxic cycles that existed in your relationship don’t magically end when you leave—they often intensify. We explore:
Bridget shares her personal story of divorcing two abusive partners, navigating custody battles, defeating bogus restraining orders, and ultimately finding strength through radical acceptance. Her wisdom and strategies will give you hope that you can not only survive post-separation abuse—you can thrive beyond it. If you’ve ever felt crazy trying to explain the covert abuse you’re still experiencing, or you’re exhausted from the constant barrage of texts, court filings, and emotional manipulation, this episode will validate your experience and show you that you are stronger than you think. ____________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 📍 Dating From Within Workshop January 8th-10th 2026\ 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| 167. Navigating The Middle Space Of Divorce | 13 Nov 2025 | 00:24:22 | |
No one really talks about the in-between phase of divorce — the muddy middle, or what I sometimes call HELL. This is the stage after you’ve decided to divorce (or the decision was made for you), but before the papers are signed. Whether you’re still sharing the same space with your soon-to-be ex or navigating separate homes, this messy middle is one of the hardest parts of divorce. In this episode, I’m validating what it feels like to live in divorce limbo:
If you’ve ever thought:
— then this episode is for you. I’ll share practical tools to help you survive the in-between stage of divorce, including how to create micro-bubbles of safety, set and keep boundaries, name this stage out loud, and envision the future you are walking toward. You don’t have to go through the middle space alone. This episode is about reminding you that the middle is a passageway, not a destination — and you are stronger than you feel right now. _____________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING amiewoolsey.com 📍 Dating From Within Workshop\ January 8th-10th 2026 👉 Click here to register 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

My friend and guest Sarah Morales joins me today in a two part conversation around gaslighting and how it can lead to self gaslighting. Gaslighting after betrayal is not confusion, it is a system. In this episode Sarah and I map the methods that keep partners stuck, why abuse often escalates after separation, and how psychoeducation plus body awareness restores safety and choice. We unpack DARVO, reality challenges, chaos, conflict, and confusion, and we name the rope metaphor so you can spot it sooner and step away.

| 164. When He Moves On | 23 Oct 2025 | 00:25:20 | |
A Re-airing of an old podcast this week. It's one of the most popular episodes. Just like his affair and sexual addiction had nothing to do with you, neither does his moving on have to do with you. Whats often happening here, underneath it all, is we are making this mean something about ourselves intrinsically. Meaning, we are connecting our worth and value and enoughness to this- so it hurts. Our thoughts might be- I wasn't good enough for him to choose- whats wrong with me that he wouldn't do the work to be healthy for me but he will for her (which i will highly argue that he' healthy) your brain might be offering you the thoughts that he gets to have a happily ever after and you are now alone forever. So the first thinking to avoid is making this mean anything about you. Let me save you so much time and energy here by just saying that when you give yourself the time and space to grieve and heal the relationships and divorce appropriately, you are going to thrive and make healthy connections in the future. Today I offer you a few questions to ask yourself and journal as well as some tools to work on that will help you make the shift into the empowered divorce! __________________________________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.

| Bonus Episode: Celebrate Your Light | 21 Oct 2025 | 00:12:43 | |
In this short and heartfelt episode,I share reflections from my own neighborhood’s Diwali celebration — the Hindu Festival of Lights — and how its message of light triumphing over darkness mirrors the healing journey after betrayal and divorce. Drawing on her Awareness, Acceptance, and Agency model, Amie explores how each stage of healing helps women reclaim their inner light:
She also weaves in wisdom from ancient Hindu texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, reminding us that our light was never gone — only waiting to be seen again. This is a gentle, inspiring listen for anyone ready to release the weight of darkness and remember their light. _______________ ✨ WORK WITH AMIE + NEXT STEPS IN YOUR HEALING 💬 Empowered Divorce Q&A – Free monthly group coaching.
