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 RE:STARTACADEMY
THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY SOME WOMEN NEVER FULLY RECOVER FROM DIVORCE
In this episode of The Restart Academy Podcast, I'm having a conversation that might be uncomfortable but desperately needs to happen. It's about women who are five, ten, even fifteen years post-divorce and are still living like their divorce happened yesterday.
If you've been divorced for years but still introduce yourself by your divorce status, if you still can't hear your ex's name without your whole body tensing up, if you're still telling the same divorce stories to anyone who will listen, this episode is your wake-up call.
I'm Temi Samuel, and as a wellness coach who went through my own devastating divorce over a decade ago, I understand trauma and the healing process. But there's a difference between healing (which isn't linear) and choosing to stay stuck in the victim stage of recovery indefinitely.
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
- The 5 types of women who never fully recover (Professional Victim, Eternal Prosecutor, Frozen in Time, Perpetual Preparer, Blame Game Champion)
- The secondary gains of staying stuck that keep women trapped
- What staying stuck is actually costing you (relationships, years, potential, power)
- Why some women choose victim status over victor status
- How to break free from patterns that no longer serve your healing
- The difference between surviving your divorce and thriving after it
This isn't about women who were genuinely abused or victimized - their healing timelines are their own. This is about women who, deep down, know they're using their divorce as an excuse to avoid building the life they actually want.
Here's the hard truth: At some point, your healing becomes your choice. At some point, staying stuck becomes a decision you're making, not something happening to you.
Your ex-husband has probably moved on with his life. Meanwhile, you're still giving him the starring role in your story. Don't you think it's time to fire him from that position?
