💥 What if 5 seconds could change your life?

This isn’t about dropping biscuits on the floor and pretending germs don’t exist 👀

Nope, we’re talking about Mel Robbins' The 5 Second Rule ….. the one that stops overthinking, boosts courage, and helps you make brave choices (even when you really don’t want to).

In this episode, I’m taking the 5 Second Rule and giving it a divorce twist …. because, let’s be real, navigating post-divorce life can feel like a never-ending f*cking blooper reel of cringe-worthy moments, regrets, and overthinking spirals.

So we’re looking at….
✔️ How the 5 Second Rule interrupts rumination (perfect for those "What if I'd done X differently?" moments)
✔️ How to shift from thinking to doing after divorce before fear has a chance to stop you
✔️ Why building micro-wins builds confidence and trust in yourself
✔️ Using 5 seconds of courage to set boundaries, stop stalking your ex, or write that dating profile

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m. replaying your marriage bloopers or procrastinated on reclaiming your life, this one’s for you.

✨ Think of this rule like a police escort for the traffic jam of crap in your brain, shouting "Outta the way, negative thoughts! We’ve got stuff to do!"

I hope you enjoy the episode, now 5-4-3-2-1 PLAY 🎧

And if you want a chance at winning a £25 Amazon Gift Voucher, simply:

1. Write a review of the episode wherever you listen to your podcasts.
2. Screenshot your review
3. Send the screenshot of the review AND tell me if you want either the free journal prompts to get your ex out your head or else the free guide to the top books to take you from heartbreak to healing after divorce (or both) and email all of this to sarah@thedivorcebookclub.com

Can’t wait to hear how you used the 5 Second Rule ✨

💔 Why does it feel like they’re living their best life while you’re just trying to survive?

Divorce can feel like the ultimate injustice… especially if you’ve been betrayed. While your ex seems to move on with ease (and maybe even a smug grin), you’re left picking up the emotional, financial, and social pieces of a life you thought would last forever.

In this episode, we’re diving into the gut-punching unfairness of it all, from the gut-level rage of "It’s not fair!" to the emotional exhaustion of waiting for karma to show up. But here’s the hard truth: staying stuck in that injustice only hurts you, not them.

What you’ll hear in this episode:
✔️ Why divorce feels like someone threw out the rulebook…. and why that hurts so much
✔️ How the inner child’s sense of fairness amplifies the pain of betrayal (and how to soothe it)
✔️ Why waiting for karma is like watching a kettle boil without plugging it in
✔️ The concept of radical acceptance…. and how it’s NOT about approving their behaviour
✔️ How to stop obsessing over them and start focusing on your glow-up

Key Takeaways:

• Their moving on doesn’t mean they’re winning… it just means they’re distracted.
• Waiting for karma doesn’t heal your wounds; your own growth does.
• Just because they abandoned your values doesn’t mean you have to abandon them too.

This episode is perfect for you if:

✔ You’re stuck in the unfairness of betrayal and wondering why they seem to have it so easy
✔ You find yourself obsessing over karma or wishing for their downfall
✔ You’re ready to take back your power and start living for YOU

Can’t wait to see YOU moving on, unapologetic AF 🔥

It’s January, it’s grey and cold, and if you’re anything like me, you’re on your third cup of tea before noon and wondering if it’s socially acceptable to hibernate until April.

Post-Christmas blues, crap weather, and the lingering chaos of divorce…. it’s not exactly the vibe, is it?

BUT… (and there’s always a but)… there’s a way out of this dreary rut, and it starts with a choice.

You can wallow like a whale in a pity party for one (been there, babes). Or you can choose something better. Something that lights you up. Something that takes that gorgeous vision for your life and turns it into actual, real-life magic ✨

That’s what this week’s episode is all about: how to stop dreaming and start doing. I’m giving you a foolproof roadmap to turn your post-divorce vision into reality with the help of something fabulous: SMARTER goals and tiny, unsexy-but-powerful steps.

Here’s what’s inside:
🎯 A fresh take on goal-setting—because "SMART goals" are so last decade dahling.
💃 How to make your goals EXCITING (hint: it involves Beyoncé playlists and champagne-worthy rewards).
🌱 Why tiny, wobbly steps are the secret sauce to massive life changes.
🛠️ Keystone habits, habit stacking, and other hacks to build the life of your dreams.
🔥 And, of course, a few Sarah-isms to make you laugh while you get inspired.

Because here’s the thing: You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. You just need to take one small, messy, beautiful step at a time. Wobbly toddlers learn to walk….and then run, love. And you will too.

You’ve got this….and I’ve got you 💪

Divorce is tough… there’s no sugar-coating it.

But here’s the truth no one tells you: it’s also a chance to start over, to wipe the slate clean, and to create a life that feels unapologetically YOU.

This week on The Divorce Chapter podcast, we’re diving into exactly that: how to create your next chapter after divorce….. a chapter filled with joy, purpose, and a vision that lights you up inside.

I know how hard it can be to figure out what you want when life feels like it’s been turned upside down. That’s why I’m sharing practical tools to help you dream big and start turning those dreams into reality.

✨ Here’s a sneak peek of what’s inside:

• How to use the “Perfect Day” exercise to map out your dream life.
• Why jealousy might actually be your best compass for discovering what you really want.
• How to stop giving a flying f*** about what other people think…. this is YOUR story, not theirs.
• The tools and tricks that helped me go from survival mode to living a life that feels right for ME.

Remember, you hold the pen in your hand. You get to write this next chapter exactly the way you want. And trust me, it’s going to be amazing.

Sending you so much love and big dreams,

Sarah x

Ah, Twixtmas. That magical time of year when no one knows what day it is, we’re all living off leftovers, and PJs become acceptable all-day attire. It’s my absolute favourite week…. but it’s also the time I left the ex-husband.

December 28th. A day etched in my memory. For me, it was a whirlwind of grief, anger, relief, and uncertainty. For him? I imagine it was completely different.

And here’s the thing: that one day, that same event, was experienced completely differently by everyone involved…..me, the ex, and my kids.

That’s the thing about divorce…. it’s never one story. It’s a million stories told through different lenses. Your version, your ex’s version, your kids’ version, your family’s version... and none of them will ever be the same.

This week on The Divorce Chapter podcast, I’m diving into why we all process divorce differently, how our unique lenses shape our experiences, and why it’s time to stop caring what others think.

In this episode, we’re exploring:

✨ Why your version of divorce is different from anyone else’s (and why that’s okay).
✨ How our experiences are shaped by the unique lenses we see life through…. our upbringing, beliefs, and relationships.
✨ Why you don’t need validation from anyone else for how you feel or the choices you’ve made.
✨ How to embrace YOUR story, YOUR way, as you start writing your next chapter.

This isn’t about replaying the past…. it’s about owning your narrative and stepping into your power. As we approach 2025, it’s time to give yourself permission to stop caring what anyone else thinks and create a future that’s true to YOU.

As we head into a new year, give yourself permission to let go of the pressure to explain, justify, or validate your choices. Your story, your journey, your truth. That’s all that matters.

Sending you strength, love, and leftover cheese this Twixtmas,
Sarah x

It’s Santa Season again…. the season of tinsel, turkey, and to-do lists longer than a John Lewis queue on Christmas Eve. And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably feeling the energy drain kicking in already.

Because let’s face it… Christmas post-divorce is a lot. There’s the emotional rollercoaster, the endless logistics, the awkward family gatherings, and let’s not forget dodging those mood hoovers who suck the life out of you faster than a hoover plugged into a turbocharger.

But here’s the thing, Christmas doesn’t have to leave you feeling like a wrung-out dishcloth. This week on the podcast, I’m diving into how to manage your energy at Christmas… because protecting your peace isn’t just a nice idea, it’s absolutely essential this time of year.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

🎄 How to budget your energy like cash in a bank (some interactions are not worth the withdrawal)
🎄 Hacks to deal with energy vampires/ mood hoovers….whether it’s the nosy aunt or the ex stirring drama.
🎄 Quick ways to recharge when you’re running on empty (no, you don’t need a week-long retreat)
🎄 How to say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ strategically so you’re not spending Christmas stretched thinner than wrapping paper.

Plus, I’m sharing practical tips for managing the physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that can creep in during the holidays. Think of it as your survival guide for keeping the season merry and not mentally exhausting.

Whether you’re dealing with chaotic schedules, nosy relatives, or just trying to make it through the holidays without a “menty B” (mental breakdown), I’ve got you covered.

Wishing you the best Christmas, whatever it looks like for you, and sending you SO much love,

Sarah x

P.S. Oh, and because I know you’re putting everyone else first right now (don’t think I don’t see you 👀), a little reminder: this month’s Divorce Book Club pick is The Self-Care Project by Jayne Hardy. Consider it my nudge to you…. this Christmas, you deserve to be at the top of that list.
