Welcome back to Season 2 of the Divorced Christian Woman Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by fellow coach and brain-ninja 🧠 Diana Swillinger (host of the Renew Your Mind Podcast), and we’re tackling a BIG question:
Who should you trust with your healing, especially when you’ve already been burned by so-called “helpers”?
We’re talking:
✔️ The difference between mentors, coaches, and therapists
✔️ How to know which one YOU need (hint: it depends on the season you're in)
✔️ Red flags 🚩 that scream “Run, girl!”
✔️ Green flags that say “You’re safe here”
✔️ What to do if you feel too broken (or not broken enough) to get help
✔️ Why community is the not-so-secret sauce to real growth
🎧 Whether you’re knee-deep in emotional chaos or just want to feel like a human being again, this episode will help you sort through the noise and reclaim your healing journey.
🔔 Don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE with your fellow freedom-loving Christian women. Because healing isn’t just possible, it’s freaking necessary.

If youve ever set a boundary only to get emotionally drop-kicked right back into the dysfunction, this ones for you.
In this episode, I break down 9 manipulative tactics that emotionally abusive people use to keep you stuck in their never-ending circus... and 6 powerful strategies you can start using TODAY to get your life and sanity back.
We’re talking:
🧠 Guilt trips that make you question your worth
🙄 Passive-aggressive digs disguised as “jokes”
🔥 Emotional meltdowns that hijack your peace
💣 Love bombing that makes you second-guess yourself
💪 And boundaries that don’t feel mean—they feel healthy
