378. The Power of Pause: How to Reclaim Your Worth After Divorce with Karen Bartholomew

What if the reason you keep attracting the same pain is because you’re still living from the same old lie?

 

Today in The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I’m joined by Karen Bartholomew, life coach and creator of the Pause Method. Karen opens up about her personal journey through divorce, infidelity, and deep healing and how she transformed her life by unraveling the subconscious programming that told her she didn’t matter. We talk about how these invisible beliefs get wired in childhood and show up in relationships, boundaries, emotional triggers, and even your ability to take care of yourself.

 

If you’ve been repeating the same relationship patterns, questioning your boundaries, or feeling disconnected from yourself, then this episode is for you.
