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
WHY YOUR MARRIED FRIENDS WILL EVENTUALLY ABANDON YOU-(AND THATS OKAY)
Here's something nobody warns you about when you're getting divorced: your married friends are probably going to disappear. Not all of them, but most of them. And while it's going to hurt like hell at first, it might actually be the best thing that could happen to your social life.
In this brutally honest episode, I'm preparing you for one of the most painful secondary losses of divorce - the friends who can't handle your new reality and slowly (or quickly) fade out of your life.
You'll learn about:
- The timeline of friendship loss and what to expect in the months after your divorce
- Why your divorce makes married friends uncomfortable (spoiler: it's not really about you)
- The different types of disappearing friends - from the "slow fade" to the "judge" to the "threatened" friend
- How couple friendships get messy and why you might lose access to entire social circles
- Why some married women see divorced women as a threat to their own marriages
- The exhausting reality of pretending everything is fine around friends who can't handle your truth
- How your divorce forces people to examine their own relationships (and why they resent you for it)
- The friends who will surprise you by showing up vs. the ones who will disappoint you by disappearing
- Why this friend filter is actually doing you a favor (even though it doesn't feel like it)
- How to build new, more authentic friendships with people who actually understand your life
This episode is for you if:
- Your married friends have gotten weird and distant since your divorce
- You're feeling socially isolated and wondering if it's something you did
- Former couple friends are still inviting your ex but not you
- You're tired of censoring yourself around friends who can't handle your reality
- You feel like you're losing your entire social circle along with your marriage
- You need permission to stop chasing friendships that aren't serving you anymore
