**New Podcast** - You Never Were as Fragile as you Thought.

There are moments in life, after loss, betrayal, divorce, heartbreak, or deep disappointment, when it feels like everything has been taken from you.

Your sense of safety.

Your identity.

Your future as you imagined it.

But here’s the truth most people never tell you:

No one can take your soul.

In this episode, I speak directly to the part of you that feels worn down but not defeated. The part of you that has survived more than you ever thought you could, and is still standing.

We’ll talk about:

*Why your strength often reveals itself after the breaking

*What can be lost, and what can never be touched

*How hardship doesn’t weaken the soul, it refines it

*Why you are far more resilient than you’ve been taught to believe

If you’ve been questioning your strength, your worth, or your ability to rise again, this conversation is for you.

P.S. I’m Dona Rutowicz, a therapist and relationship coach who helps women, especially those navigating divorce, heartbreak, or major life transitions, release the pain of the past, reconnect to their strength, and create lives and relationships that feel deeply aligned and fulfilling.

This work isn’t about fixing what’s broken.

It’s about remembering who you are beneath everything you’ve been through.

If you’re ready for clarity, healing, and a grounded path forward, I invite you to book a private call with me. Together, we’ll explore what’s possible for you next.

Your soul knows the way.

I’ll help you walk it.

From Surviving to Seeing Beauty Again.....

There are divorces we choose.
And then there are divorces we never wanted.

The ones that arrive like a storm, uninvited, disorienting, and heavy, leaving a black cloud where life once felt familiar and safe.

If that’s you, I want you to know something deeply important:

Your life is not over.
And beauty has not left you forever.

We are part of a bigger movement:
Saving YOU. Saving the family. Reforming the divorce culture.

Not by shame.
Not by silence.
But by healing.

We are the generational curse breakers, the women who refuse to pass down pain, bitterness, and emotional disconnection. The women who choose peace over resentment, truth over numbing, and love over fear.

Reclaim what was always meant to be yours.

Smart women fund everyone else—then wonder why love costs them years.

Let’s talk about something no one says out loud.

Women are notorious for being resourceful.
We fund our kids, our families, our homes, our careers.
We stretch. We sacrifice. We make miracles out of nothing.

And then… when it comes to ourselves?
We suddenly act like paupers.

We cheap out on our healing.
We delay our joy.
We tell ourselves later—and then wake up years from now still carrying pain, still settling, still wondering why the life and love we want never quite arrive.

Psychology is clear: what you don’t heal, you repeat.
Quantum physics is even clearer: you broadcast your worth by how you invest in yourself.

When you invest in you, everything shifts.
Your energy changes.
Your standards rise.
And the world—especially a partner—meets you there.

This life was never meant to be lived as one long act of service.
You are not here just to hold it all together for everyone else.
You’re allowed to want more.
And you’re allowed to receive it.

Smart women don’t muscle through this alone.
They choose support.
They choose differently.
They choose now.

If this stirred something in you, trust that.
Book a private call with us and let’s talk about what’s possible—for you.

PS: Waiting is a choice—and so is suffering. January is the only time scholarship funds cover 50% of enrollment. When this window closes, it closes. If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it. 💥

The other day, I was hiking when a red fox crossed my path, stopped, looked straight at me… and disappeared.

In symbolism, the red fox is a messenger.

Clever. Bold. Adaptable.

It shows up when change is calling and you’re being asked to trust yourself enough to answer.

Scripture reminds us, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

And as I stood there, I knew:

This message isn’t for me.

It’s for you.

You can keep going as is. That’s always an option.

But I’ve watched too many women stay stuck, not because they couldn’t change, but because familiarity felt safer than freedom.

Tolerating wounded, afraid, and tired.

Yet scripture also says, “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:19)

Divorcing Gracefully & Beyond has helped thousands of women release the pain of the past, reclaim their power, recover their brilliance, and, when ready, call in true love with a healthy man.

But it starts here:

Learning to love yourself the way God loves you.

You can’t give what you’ve never received.

January is the only month of the year we open our doors with 50% of the enrollment covered by scholarship funds.

“To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

The fox has already crossed your path.

The question is… will you follow?

Change isn’t the threat. Staying the same is.

Are you the eldest daughter? Do you carry the weight of your family? Is this YOIU? Are you the daughter meant to be the generational curse breaker?

The Power Hidden in the Stillness

There’s a line in Scripture that’s easy to miss because it’s so quiet:

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

— Psalm 46:10

Not do more.

Not figure it out.

Not fix it right now.

Be still.

We live in a world that worships motion. Noise. Proof. Productivity. But the Bible has always whispered a different truth: the greatest power doesn’t announce itself loudly. It arrives softly.

Elijah learned this on the mountain. God wasn’t in the wind. Not in the earthquake. Not in the fire.

God came in a still, small voice.

-1 Kings 19

And that’s how it still works.

In the stillness, something rearranges itself inside you. Your nervous system settles. Your spirit comes back online. And suddenly—you’re no longer reacting to life. You’re responding from truth.

Here’s something fascinating: what we call “reality” is not as solid as it looks. Think of it like a holographic camera—life unfolding frame by frame. What you see in front of you is often a delayed image of what’s been held, believed, feared, or trusted within you.

Scripture hints at this when it says:

“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

-Proverbs 23:7

Not as he thinks in his head.

But in his heart.

Your heart is the projector.

Faith, then, isn’t forcing outcomes. It’s aligning your inner state with truth and allowing the next frame to appear. That’s why Jesus didn’t rush. He withdrew often. He prayed in solitude. He knew power doesn’t come from striving—it comes from alignment.

Even creation itself was born from stillness. God didn’t wrestle the world into being. He spoke. And it was so.

So if things feel unclear right now…

If the picture hasn’t sharpened yet…

If you’re tempted to push, chase, or control…

Pause.

Stillness is not inactivity.

It’s preparation.

It’s where faith calibrates.

It’s where the next version of your life quietly loads.

And trust this: the frame that’s coming holds more grace than fear, more order than chaos, more love than you can yet see.

Be still.

And know.

That’s where the real power has always been.
