The Truth About Divorce and the Holidays: When Gratitude Feels Like a Lie

The holidays after a divorce leaves anyone feeling the dread. Thanksgiving used to be about family, gratitude, and tradition—but now, it’s a painful reminder of what’s missing. Maybe it’s your first year without your kids because your ex called the shots, leaving you on the sidelines. You’re heartbroken, angry, and struggling to make sense of a life that feels completely flipped upside down. Gratitude? It feels like a cruel joke right now.

In this video, I dive into the raw truth about surviving the holidays after divorce. From navigating the loneliness to finding meaning in the chaos, I share practical strategies that helped me rebuild and move forward. The pain is real, but it’s not permanent. Whether you're spending Thanksgiving alone, struggling with holiday traditions that no longer include you, or just trying to survive emotionally, this video is for you.

You don’t have to fake gratitude, and you don’t have to be “okay” right now. What you do need is a plan—and I’ll help you start finding strength in your solitude. Trust me, it gets better. Next year, you’ll be in a completely different place, and I’ll show you how to get there.
