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
WHEN YOUR EX UNDERMINES YOUR PARENTING (AND HOW TO STOP IT)
Does this sound familiar?
You work hard to establish structure, routines, and boundaries for your kids. Bedtimes. Screen time limits. Healthy eating. Respectful communication.
Then they go to their dad's house... and it all goes out the window.
He lets them stay up late, eat junk food, skip homework, and talk back without consequences. When they come back? They're cranky, entitled, and testing every boundary you've set.
"But Dad doesn't make us do that. Why are YOU so strict?"
You feel undermined, disrespected, and powerless.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✨ Why different rules at different houses don't actually damage kids (and what DOES confuse them)
✨ The "But Dad Lets Us" response scripts — word-for-word ways to handle manipulation without losing your cool
✨ 7 strategies for becoming unshakeable in your parenting — so your kids respect YOUR boundaries even when Dad's are different
✨ When to seek alignment vs. when to let it go — and how to focus on what truly matters
✨ My personal story of going from reactive to consistent — and how that changed everything
This episode is for you if:
- You're tired of feeling like you're parenting alone
- Your kids constantly compare you to their dad
- You feel like your ex deliberately undermines you
- You want to stop feeling powerless and start feeling confident
What you'll walk away with:
You cannot control his parenting — but you can master yours. You'll have a clear framework for establishing unshakeable boundaries, responding with calm confidence, and building the stable home your kids desperately need.
Your consistency will become their foundation. And that's more powerful than you realize.
