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 DIFFICULT TRUTH -YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM TOO IN YOUR MARRIAGE
Ready for the most uncomfortable conversation in divorce recovery? In this episode, we're diving deep into a topic that requires courage: examining your own contributions to your marriage problems.
This episode is NOT for women who were abused, manipulated, or genuinely victimized. But if you've been honest with yourself and know that your marriage problems weren't entirely one-sided, this conversation is for you.
Host Temi Samuel tackles the difference between victim-blaming and healthy self-reflection, exploring common patterns like:
- Avoiding conflict until you explode
- Expecting your partner to read your mind
- Using emotional manipulation to get your way
- Mothering your partner then resenting the mental load
- Losing yourself in the relationship
This isn't about self-flagellation or taking all the blame. It's about reclaiming your power by taking responsibility for the parts that were actually yours—so you can do better next time.
You'll learn the difference between healthy self-reflection and destructive self-blame, plus get practical guidance on examining your communication patterns, emotional regulation, and boundary-setting skills.
The bottom line: Taking responsibility for your part isn't self-blame—it's self-empowerment. And it might be the key to creating the healthy relationship you actually want.
Warning: This episode requires nuance, compassion, and courage. Come prepared for an honest conversation that could change how you approach future relationships.
