THE RE:STARTACADEMY
The Restart Academy Podcast: Your Safe Space for the Real Conversations About Divorce Recovery
This podcast is for divorced women who are rebuilding their lives after devastating divorces. If you've been searching for a place where you can finally have the real conversations - the controversial ones, the embarrassing questions, the messy truths about what it's actually like to heal and rebuild after your marriage ends - you've found your safe space.
Hosted by Temi Samuel, a wellness coach who went through her own devastating divorce over a decade ago, The Restart Academy Podcast tackles the topics others won't touch. This isn't your typical "everything happens for a reason" divorce advice. This is honest, unfiltered truth about what divorce recovery actually looks like.
What makes this podcast different: We don't do toxic positivity or surface-level advice. We dive deep into the controversial conversations - why you might feel relief after divorce, why "taking the high road" is often toxic advice, why some women never fully recover, and all those thoughts you've had but felt too ashamed to say out loud.
Perfect for divorced women who:
- Feel isolated in their divorce experience and crave real conversation
- Are tired of advice that doesn't address what they actually went through
- Need permission to feel ALL their emotions without judgment
- Want practical guidance from someone who truly understands their journey
- Are ready to stop just surviving and start thriving in their restart
Whether you're newly divorced, years into healing, or somewhere in between, Temi creates a judgment-free zone where you can drop the mask and process your real experience. Each episode gives you permission to be human, to have complex feelings, and to prioritize your own healing journey.

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT MISSING YOUR ABUSER AFTER DIVORCE
The conversation no one wants to have but desperately needs to hear.
Are you carrying a shameful secret that makes you question your own sanity? Do you sometimes find yourself missing someone who hurt you deeply, and you can't understand why? You're not alone, and you're definitely not crazy.
In this raw, honest episode, Temi tackles one of the most taboo topics in divorce recovery: why some women miss their abusive ex-partners after leaving. If you've ever felt guilty for having conflicted feelings about someone who treated you badly, this episode will change everything.
You'll discover:
- What trauma bonding really is and how it hijacks your brain
- Why missing an abuser doesn't mean the abuse wasn't real
- The difference between missing someone and wanting them back
- How abusers engineer psychological dependence (it's not your fault)
- Practical tools for handling waves of longing without acting on them
- Why your complex feelings are actually evidence of your humanity, not your weakness
This episode is for you if:
- You feel ashamed of having any positive feelings toward your ex
- You're confused by missing someone who caused you pain
- You're worried that missing them means you're "not healed"
- You feel alone in having these complex, contradictory emotions
- You need permission to feel what you feel without judgment
