This week's quote
"I realized that I didn't have to be afraid of what they would do. I only had to know what I would do, whatever they did. They start sh*t? I shut it down. They get angry? I stay calm. Boundaries are freedom." — SD community member @alexandrakjensen
This week's blog post
Did you know you can divorce things other than a spouse or partner? Bethany explores the idea in this blog post and offers suggestions for other things you might want to consider divorcing.
This week's playlist
Recently we asked our Instagram community to share their post-divorce anthem. We received over 250 responses! We added everyone's favorites to our "Sincerely, Divorced" playlist on Spotify. Feel free to save the list and play it on repeat.
This week's task
We want you to mark your calendar for a date night...with yourself! The concept may sound or feel weird at first, but carving out time to do something special for yourself just because is so valuable and restorative.
Whether that's a solo paint night, a luxurious at-home spa experience, or trying out a new hobby, the options are endless. Check out some of our favorites on our Amazon storefront to give you some planning inspiration. ♥
Upcoming events
We hope to see you at an upcoming in-person or virtual event. Both kinds of experiences have been rewarding for us and the people who have attended so we are going to keep offering both as a way to spread more love and hope.
Also, stay tuned because we have some BIG event plans for 2025 that we can't wait to share with you.
