21: What I Learned from My Divorce (and How it Saved my Life)

A vulnerable, deeply honest episode where Dr. Brittany shares what it was really like to walk through the end of her marriage, what she learned about identity, control, self-trust, and how these tools can help you rebuild your own life from the inside out.


In this raw and intimate episode, Dr. Brittany opens up about one of the hardest seasons of her life - the death of her first marriage and the rebirth of the second. She walks you through the psychological collapse, the aloneness, the identity unraveling, and the deeply spiritual work of letting an old version of your life burn so something healthier can grow.


You’ll hear how this season intersected with everything she and Dr. Brad White discussed in Episode 16: letting go of control, facing reality instead of fantasy, and navigating the messy middle of relational growth. She explains exactly how she moved through grief, shock, and fear, and gives you the same exercises she used to rebuild her identity and learn how to choose herself in a way she never had before.


This episode is for any woman who has ever wondered, “Is this relationship still aligned with who I’m becoming?” or who has felt the loneliness of carrying a partnership on her back and feared what would happen if she stopped. You’re not alone and the path through is both messy and holy.


What you’ll learn


• Why every long-term relationship experiences a “reckoning” and what it really feels like to be in that moment.


• The difference between capability and capacity and why most high-performing women confuse the two.


• Why letting go of control feels like death and how your nervous system responds when you stop rescuing.


• How to get into reality instead of fantasy so you can make decisions with clarity instead of fear.


• The exact grieving ritual Dr. Brittany used to emotionally release the first version of her marriage.


• How to rebuild self-trust during the darkest season and what it means to create a “second marriage” rooted in truth and partnership.
