Leah has lived through three divorces and a profound early-life loss, and she brings hard‑earned wisdom to the conversation about rebuilding identity, emotional stability, and self‑trust after major transitions. \nKaren and Leah explore the “in‑between space” after divorce—those quiet, disorienting moments when the house is empty, routines have changed, and grief shows up in unexpected ways. Leah offers practical tools for navigating loneliness, planning proactively, and rediscovering hobbies, passions, and creative outlets that reconnect you to your authentic self. She describes how stepping into discomfort builds confidence, sharing her own story of nervously auditioning for a classic rock band and discovering a new part of her identity. “Confidence comes after you do the scary thing, scared,” she reminds us.\nThe conversation also touches on modeling resilience for children, breaking patterns of people‑pleasing, and learning to trust your instincts again. Leah outlines how self‑trust is rebuilt through small daily follow‑through—those tiny promises kept to yourself that slowly rewire your sense of reliability and inner strength.\nListeners will walk away with grounded, compassionate guidance for reclaiming identity, rebuilding confidence, and stepping into the next chapter with intention.\nLinks & Resources\nLeah Marie Mazur – Mindfully Ready: https://mindfullyready.com\nKaren McNenny: https://www.karenmcnenny.com/\nKaren’s book: The Good Divorce: How to End Your Marriage Without Ending Your Family","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qRMYx_ASvhL9O9Dr6sojIwz-KNAWQmuY9p0EaKLyfVk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MjQz/ZmYyYzM2NDk5NDk3/MWUzMGVlMzFmMTZj/M2ZiMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
