Three Steps to Trusting Again After Your Heart’s Been Broken 💔➡️💗

Let’s be clear, trusting again isn’t about becoming less guarded. It’s about choosing to become more self-anchored.

1. Rebuild trust with yourself first.
Before you trust another partner, you have to trust your own signals.Your body knows. Your intuition knows.
Practice listening, and believing what you hear without negotiating it away.

2. Stop rushing intimacy. Depth doesn’t require speed.
Safety is built through consistency over time, not chemistry alone. Let someone earn access to your heart through aligned actions.

3. Choose discernment over hyper-vigilance.
Being cautious isn’t the same as being closed.
You’re not here to scan for danger, you’re here to notice how you feel around someone. Calm is a green flag.

Broken hearts don’t need fixing.
They need safety, truth, and time.

And yes, you can trust again. Just not the way you used to. The way you do now is wiser.

Just a little reminder in case you forgot today:

You don’t need to have it all figured out to be exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Healing isn’t linear. Growth isn’t pretty. And confidence doesn’t always feel loud.

Sometimes it looks like getting up anyway… and choosing yourself again.

Give yourself some credit. You’re not “behind.” You're exactly where you're supposed to be.

XOXO

Divorced women over 50 aren’t asking surface-level questions anymore…

They’re asking the real ones.

Is it too late for love… or am I just scared to hope again?
Who am I now that the marriage is over?

Can I trust myself—and someone else—after everything I survived?

Why do I still feel lonely even though I’ve done the work and built a good life?
And how do I open my heart without settling or getting hurt again?

If these questions live in you…
It doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means you’re standing at the edge of your next chapter.

And this chapter?
Gets to be about you.

Everyone says, “When the stars align…”

But here’s the truth most people never learn:
The stars don’t align for you.
They align when you decide.

Waiting doesn’t bring clarity.
Waiting keeps your nervous system stuck in limbo.
Confidence fades. Desire dulls. Momentum disappears.

Action is what organizes the universe.
Movement creates momentum.
Clarity comes after the decision…..not before it.

The door to success isn’t hidden or locked.
It’s labeled DECISIVENESS and ACTION.

Dating after divorce can feel hard…
but it also makes you unforgettable.

You’ve lived.
You’ve healed.
You know yourself now.

And the right partner?
He won’t be intimidated by your strength, your success, or your standards.

He’ll be inspired by them.

Choose fully, cleanly, without one foot in and one foot out—life will respond.

Opportunities appear. Support shows up.

You start to feel like yourself again.

If you’re waiting for a sign…
this is it.

Decide.
Move.
Watch everything shift.

Dating after divorce can feel impossible. But a healed woman attracts a man inspired by her independence, not intimidated. Healing makes you impossible to forget, attracting someone who values your depth and wants to meet you where you are. It's never too late to love again.

There’s a kind of peace that doesn’t come from doing more…

It comes from sitting with the people who know your heart, laughing without trying, and feeling safe being exactly who you are.

Friends. Family. Presence.

That’s the real luxury.

When life gets loud, chaotic, or disappointing, the most sacred thing we can do is come back home to ourselves.

We forget so easily, not because we’re broken, but because the world pulls us in a thousand directions at once. But who you are at your core has never changed. You are a divine child of this magnificent Universe, born with wisdom, intuition, power, and love already coded into you.

When you return to yourself, you return to truth. You return to worthiness. You return to the place where every answer you’ve ever searched for “out there” finally reveals itself within. Coming back to you isn’t a luxury, it’s the path. The remembering. The way forward.

You've got potential deeply embedded in your soul and everything you need for success can already be found within you.

During this time of year, many of us are practicing at least some level of gratitude.

I encourage you to go deeper.

Today, carve out just 10 minutes to be still. Close your eyes, and just be.

Don't even listen to a guided meditation.

Listen to your heart. Hear your breath. Listen to the thoughts that bubble up.

Acknowledge them, love them and set them free.

On our continued journey to self evolution, we are susceptible to breaking down when things get busy, or there's a lot of distractions.

You are the most important appointment on your calendar----always!!

Don’t give up.

12/08/2025

We don’t get to choose our arrival date.

We don’t get to choose our exit.

But every single day in between?

That’s where your power lives.
That’s where your healing lives.
That’s where your love story gets written.

Use the time you have like the miracle it is….create, love, rebuild, forgive, rise, start again.

Because the “in-between” is where your soul came to evolve…and you get to decide how fiercely you live it.
