Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Becoming with Rhian, I explore the psychological aftershocks of divorce — the deep identity rupture that can follow the end of a relationship. Divorce isn’t just a legal or emotional separation; it can feel like an earthquake that shatters the foundation of who you thought you were.I speak candidly about the disorientation that comes when the roles, routines, and relationships that once defined you suddenly fall away. What happens when your identity is wrapped around being a partner, a caregiver, or part of a shared future — and then it’s gone?We dive into the grief, the questions, the fear — but also the quiet, surprising space that opens up for reinvention. This is an episode for anyone who’s ever felt unrecognizable to themselves after a major life rupture. It’s about the messy, vulnerable, and ultimately human journey of becoming someone new.Contact me for Divorce, Reinvention, Life, Mindset & Positive Psychology Coaching and transformative retreats.
