Becoming You Again: A Podcast for Women Finding Their Way Back to Themselves
Divorce coach Karin Nelson on trusting yourself again, grieving all of it, and the one episode she'd hand to anyone in the thick of it.
Some divorce advice tells you how to file, how to split assets, how to co-parent. Fewer resources deal with what happens inside you while all of that is going on. That is where Becoming You Again comes in.
Hosted by Karin Nelson, a certified divorce coach who has been through divorce herself, Becoming You Again is a weekly podcast for women who are thinking about divorce, going through it, or rebuilding afterward. New episodes come out every Monday. Most are solo, with an occasional expert interview, and the show has published more than 290 episodes since 2022.
The show covers the parts most divorce advice skips: learning to trust yourself again, grieving all of it, ending self-abandonment, and questioning the cultural stories that tie a woman's worth to being chosen. Each episode pairs validation with something practical you can use the same day. Karin's listeners are mostly women between 35 and 55 who have given everything to everyone else and are ready to find themselves again.
Where to start
If you're in the middle of a divorce and need something to listen to right now, Karin recommends Episode 236, What To Remember During Divorce.
"When you're in the thick of divorce, everything feels urgent and overwhelming, and it's hard to remember anything true about yourself," she says. The episode gives listeners nine things to hold onto. The first four are things Karin believes with her whole heart: you are capable, your worth was never tied to being chosen, things will get better, and the fact that it's hard doesn't mean you're failing. The other five are practical anchors: grieve, find support, look after your body, learn to be with your emotions, and make decisions from the pause rather than from panic.
You get comfort and a plan in the same episode, along with the reminder that you aren't doing this alone.
More than surviving
Karin hopes listeners come away seeing divorce as more than something to get through. "It can be the thing that helps her come home to herself," she says, a time when she learns to trust herself again.
Divorce can feel hard and disorienting even when you know it's the right decision. Karin describes the podcast as her way of giving women a warm embrace, along with someone to hold their hand and guide them through each next step.
