THE RE:STARTACADEMY

THE DARK REALITY OF DIVORCED WOMEN WHO NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR EX

EYITEMI SAMUEL Season 1 Episode 3

Send us a text

In this episode of The Restart Academy Podcast, I'm addressing something that nobody wants to talk about but desperately needs to be discussed - divorced women who never stop talking about their ex-husband, even years after the divorce is final.

If every conversation somehow circles back to your ex, if you find yourself bringing up your divorce in unrelated discussions, or if friends have started avoiding certain topics because they know it'll trigger another story about your marriage, this episode might be uncomfortable but necessary for you to hear.

I'm Temi Samuel, and as a wellness coach who went through her own divorce over a decade ago, I understand the need to process and be heard. But there's a difference between healing and staying stuck - and unfortunately, some women turn their ex-husband into the permanent starring role of their life story.

🎧 In this episode, we explore:

  • The 5 types of women who can't stop talking about their ex (The Prosecutor, Broken Record, Analyst, Martyr, Controller)
  • Why this pattern is actually keeping you emotionally tied to your ex
  • How constantly rehashing your divorce is pushing people away
  • The difference between processing your experience and making it your identity
  • Practical steps to break free from this cycle and reclaim your story

This isn't about shaming anyone - it's about recognizing when a coping mechanism has become a trap. Your ex-husband doesn't deserve to be the main character in your life story forever, especially not the villain who gets all your mental energy.

You divorced him. Now it's time to fire him from being the center of every conversation.
