Start Your Comeback: Rebuilding after Divorce, Empty Nest, and Loss of Spouse
The Junk Drawer: 5 Things Keeping You Stuck in Transition
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every home has one.
The junk drawer.
A place where random items collect over time until we can barely find what we're looking for.
The same thing happens in our lives.
During seasons of divorce, empty nesting, retirement, loss, or major life transitions, we often accumulate emotional clutter that keeps us from moving forward. Fear. Comparison. Old stories. The need for certainty. Waiting until we feel ready.
In this episode, Toni shares her top five pieces of "junk" that keep women stuck in Shock, Limbo, and Reentry. While this isn't an exhaustive list, these are some of the most common obstacles standing between where you are and where you're meant to go.
In This Episode:
- Why certainty can become a trap
- How comparison steals your momentum
- The fear of making the wrong decision
- The stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck
- Why waiting to feel ready may be holding you back
- A practical challenge to identify what's in your own emotional junk drawer
