You look like you’re doing fine after the divorce or breakup, but part of you quietly wants less than you used to....
I see it all the time in women...
you’re not unmotivated. It’s because wanting more started to feel risky after the breakup.
🔒 The trouble is, over time, that self-containment shows up as
joy that is muted
stalled momentum
and a sense of living below your potential.

This isn’t a desire problem. It’s a nervous system that learned safety by dialing life down.
So many stressed and heartbroken women have trouble saying what they need.
(That’s been the case with women who come to my practice.)
They are strong, capable, self-aware, and yet...
long after a divorce or breakup, there's a lingering sense of "stuckness" that remains.
🛑 What I see again and again is this:
to stay composed and functional, many women quietly learn to want less.
😭 Less joy. Less ease. Less desire.
It’s a way of protecting themselves from the disappointment and disruption that followed when their partner became an ex… ❤️🩹
because wanting more sometimes feels risky.
(I was there, too.)
From the outside, she looks like she’s managing life just fine.
She keeps her career moving.
She shows up for her kids.
She maintains a social life.
But it takes more internal effort than it used to, and she can feel it in her body.
And underneath, parts of her feel stuck -
still holding on old moments, thoughts, or emotional reactions connected to her ex.
What she really wants is simple, but rarely said out loud:
✅ to stop feeling stuck
✅ to be done “processing” the relationship
✅ to feel like herself again - only clearer and stronger.
She wants joy infused back into how she works, lives, and loves!
That might look like a relationship that supports both her ambition and her heart - or feeling genuinely happy on her own.
Inside Rise & Thrive, I work with women to reconnect to that intuitive, still place inside them that knows what it needs.
Her system adapted to get her through a hard time - and it’s ready to turn the page.
That’s why we personalize her nervous system regulation so the body can finally exit fight-or-flight and feel settled.
Old thoughts and emotional patterns are processed - without reliving the past.
✨ As the nervous system calms, desire, focus, and forward momentum come back online naturally.
That spark of aliveness and clarity is inherent in every woman.
Rise & Thrive is designed to guide her back to it.
What if wanting more isn’t selfish -
it's a sign that something in you is coming back online.
