Somatic Healing Through Divorce: From Surviving to Awakening
Most women going through divorce are told to lawyer up, divide the assets, and move on. Nobody talks about what’s happening inside your body.
Divorce stirs up things nobody prepares you for. The brain fog, the old wounds, the emotional rollercoaster, and somehow you’re supposed to go from decades of intimacy to a business transaction overnight.
In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Olivia Horoshko, the Somatic Divorce Coach, a breathwork and nervous system regulation specialist who personally navigated divorce, perimenopause, job loss, and a home sale all at once and came out the other side with a whole new calling. She now helps women move through divorce from the inside out, using somatic healing to process what the legal system never touches.
We’ll explore:
✔️ Why divorce is a body experience, not just a legal and emotional one
✔️ What somatic healing actually is and why it works when talk therapy alone doesn’t
✔️ The gray divorce statistic that shows you are far from alone
✔️ How perimenopause and divorce collide and what that does to your nervous system
✔️ The childhood fault lines that quietly shape our adult relationships
✔️ Red flags that signal your body needs support through this process
✔️ How to move from reaction to response even with a triggering ex
✔️ What breathwork actually is (hint: it’s not just Wim Hof)
✔️ The two minute reset you can do before any hard conversation
If you’re going through a separation or divorce and feel like your brain is scrambled eggs, this one’s for you.
