The Importance of Self Love During Divorce
Hey everyone, and welcome back to The D Shift: Redefining Divorce And Beyond! On today’s episode, host Mardi Winder welcomes fellow Canadian and self-love guru Nisha Goyal, a certified life coach with more than 25 years’ experience in helping women build a stronger, more loving relationship with themselves.
This episode kicks off with an honest look at those core beliefs so many of us wrestle with, feeling not good enough, unworthy, powerless, and why women tend to fall into the role of people pleaser. Nisha shares about her own story of burnout, how she realized she wasn’t truly valuing herself, and what it actually takes to flip that script.
Mardi and Nisha have a down-to-earth conversation about the difference between self-care (no, it’s not just about spa days and chocolates!) and self-love, which goes way deeper. Nisha breaks down how to start treating yourself with the same kindness and nurture that you’d give to a partner, especially when you’re feeling lost after a breakup or divorce.
They also tackle some big topics, like why being child-free doesn’t mean you have it any easier during divorce, and how societal pressures can make anyone feel like they’re failing, whether or not they fit the usual “wife and mom” box. Mardi and Nisha share strategies for rewriting those old stories in your head, forgiving yourself, and making daily decisions that fill your own cup first.
