  • Great perspectives

    Jolie’s interview gave great insight into navigating a divorce with tact and integrity. The interviewer also had excellent questions throughout. While it was a short episode, it really packed a punch in terms of great information. I enjoyed listening.

Q: If someone is listening and needs reassurance, what final encouragement would you offer?
You are doing great as a single parent, and your effort matters greatly even if it isn't publicly recognized. You have the ability to redefine what Mother's Day means for you, and with support, you can navigate this holiday with more confidence as you continue rebuilding your life.
How to Survive (and Reclaim) Mother's Day After Divorce with Dr. Elana Hoffman
Q: What should someone consider when deciding how to spend Mother's Day post-divorce?
Think about what would make you feel empowered and supported—whether that's a quiet day with your kids, a new ritual, or simply taking time for yourself. The day doesn't have to be a parade; it can be whatever helps you feel seen and capable.
How to Survive (and Reclaim) Mother's Day After Divorce with Dr. Elana Hoffman
Q: What makes Mother's Day particularly challenging for divorced moms, and what gentle self-care strategies would you recommend?
Mother's Day can bring grief, loneliness, and a sense of isolation when traditional support and recognition aren't as present; gentle self-care includes recognizing your feelings, planning small, self-affirming activities like a manicure or a walk, and prioritizing what makes you feel valued without external expectations.

Stop Chasing Balance After Divorce: A Work-Life Harmony Coach Explains What to Do Instead with Amy Pierre-Russo
Q: What is the difference between balance and harmony in this context?
Harmony is about flow and sustainable alignment across life domains, whereas balance often feels like a fleeting, pressured state; shifting to harmony emphasizes gradual, purposeful adjustments rather than chasing a perfect equilibrium.
