Why Washing Your Hair Might Be the Most Powerful Divorce Recovery Tool with Madisen Rose
After divorce, the world can feel like it’s spinning out of control. Even the smallest tasks—washing your hair, eating a real meal, or getting out of bed—can feel like climbing a mountain. In this powerful episode of Divorce Happens, divorce recovery guide and somatic practitioner Madisen Rose brings honesty and compassion to one of the hardest realities of post-divorce life: sometimes the basics are the bravest acts of self-care.
Madisen shares her philosophy of “back to basics” healing, offering listeners five simple practices—hydration, rest, nutrition, movement, and hygiene—that become anchors in the chaos of transition. Drawing from both her professional expertise and her lived experience, she reminds us that it isn’t about lofty wellness goals or reinventing yourself overnight. Healing begins with the smallest gestures, like pouring a glass of water or brushing your teeth, and building from there with patience and compassion.
Through her work with clients, Madisen has seen how tiny, consistent acts of care can shift someone from surviving to slowly thriving. In this conversation, she offers both clarity and hope, showing listeners that progress doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. You’ll walk away with permission to keep it simple, a mindset shift around what counts as “self-care,” and the gentle reminder that sometimes survival itself is a triumph.
