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.

WHY FORGIVENESS ISNT ABOUT THEM(THE LAW OF CAUSE & EFFECT)
You need to forgive him."
And immediately, the rage rises. Because WHY should you forgive him? He doesn't deserve it. He hurt you. He betrayed you. He walked away like you meant nothing.
So no. You're NOT forgiving him.
You're holding onto that anger. That resentment. That bitterness. Because he deserves to be punished.
But here's what I need you to understand: Unforgiveness isn't punishing him. It's punishing YOU.
In this episode, I'm breaking down The Law of Cause and Effect and showing you why holding onto resentment is keeping YOU trapped—not him.
Here's what you'll learn:
- Why unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting him to die
- How The Law of Cause and Effect works (what you put out comes back to you)
- What forgiveness IS and what it IS NOT (it's not condoning, forgetting, or letting him back in)
- The 7-step forgiveness process that actually works
- How to forgive without betraying yourself
- Why forgiveness is the ultimate power move
- How forgiving my ex changed my ENTIRE life
The uncomfortable truth: As long as you're holding onto unforgiveness, you're energetically tied to him. He's the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing at night. You're giving him free rent in your head and heart.
And meanwhile? He's probably not even thinking about you.
Forgiveness has NOTHING to do with him. It's about YOU. It's about cutting the energetic cord so you can finally be FREE.
I held onto rage for YEARS after my divorce. It destroyed my health, my energy, my joy. When I finally forgave? Everything changed. I had energy for MY life. MY healing. MY future.
This isn't about being weak. This is about taking your POWER back.
