173. The Hardest Conversation- How to Say You Want a Divorce

Hey friends, welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn. If this is your first time here, I’m so glad you found this space. I created this podcast to walk alongside faithful women—and men—who are navigating the heartbreak of divorce with grace, courage, and yes… even joy.
Today’s episode is one I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while. It’s about a phrase that sneaks into so many of our thoughts, especially after things fall apart in divorce. “I should have seen it coming.”
Have you said that before? Whispered it to yourself in bed at night… or cried it to a friend in disbelief… or maybe even screamed it in your car when the grief was just too heavy?
It’s such a tempting thought, because it gives us something to hold onto when everything feels out of control. But here’s the thing: that thought feels like truth… and yet it’s laced with shame.
So today, we’re going to break it down. Together, we’ll look at where this belief comes from, what it costs us, and how faith offers us a much better lens.

174. When You Didn’t See the Divorce Coming

Hey Joy Seekers, it’s Jenn—and today we’re diving into a topic that comes up so often with the amazing men and women I coach: closure after divorce.
If you’ve found yourself saying, “I just need closure,” or “If I could just understand why it all happened the way it did, maybe then I could move on,” this episode is especially for you.
Let’s be honest—when divorce turns your world upside down, it’s normal to crave some kind of neat, tied-up ending. Something to help it all make sense. But here’s what I want you to know: closure isn’t something your ex gives you. It’s something you choose to create—with the Lord’s help.
So today, we’re going to talk about what closure really means, how to stop waiting for it, and how to move forward with faith, grace, and resilience—even when your questions feel unanswered.
I want to show you that closure isn’t something we get from someone else. It’s something we create—with God’s help.

175. The Truth About Closure After Divorce (What No One Tells You)

Hey Joy Seekers, it’s Jenn. Today’s episode comes straight from a place of deep personal experience—something that rocked my world recently and gave me an entirely new perspective on the wounds we carry, both seen and unseen. I want to tell you about a recent experience that caught me completely off guard—something that literally left a scar and totally disrupted my life for a while. But more than that, it taught me a powerful lesson about healing… and how similar physical wounds are to the emotional ones we carry. This experience taught me something powerful about grief, trauma, and the slow, intentional work of healing after divorce.

177.  Healing After the Cut- What Cancer Taught Me About Divorce

Hey, Joy Seekers, welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn.  Today, we’re diving into a topic I know hits close to home for so many of us: TRUST.
If you’ve been through a divorce, especially one where trust was shattered by betrayal, emotional abuse, or neglect, or just someone’s choice to end the marriage, then you know how hard it is to trust again.

When a marriage ends—especially one rooted in faith—the damage often goes deeper than the relationship itself. It can shatter your trust in your ex, in yourself, in your ability to make good decisions, and even in God.

But here’s the good news: trust isn’t lost forever. It can be rebuilt. And that rebuilding starts with you.

Today, I want to discuss some powerful truths from the book "The Speed of Trust" by Stephen M. R. Covey — specifically, his 13 Behaviors of High-Trust Leaders. These aren’t just leadership tools—they’re LIFE tools. And they are incredibly relevant for anyone healing from divorce, and you don’t need to have read the book—I’ve got you.

178. How to Rebuild Trust in Yourself, Others, and God After Divorce

Hey there, Joy Seekers— Welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn. I’m so glad you’re here. I created this space for you—a place where we talk honestly about the messiness of divorce while holding tight to our faith. If you’re walking through the heartache of divorce right now, I want you to know you’re not alone—and you’re not powerless. There is still hope. There is still healing. And yes… there is still joy ahead.

Today I want to share three empowering truths—not just thoughts or affirmations—but deep truths you can begin to practice and lean into, especially in those moments when life feels the heaviest.

I don’t believe there’s any magical phrase that makes the pain of divorce disappear. But I do believe in truth. And these three thoughts are grounded in truth—truth about who you are, whose you are, and what’s still possible for you. We’ll walk through each truth, what it means, how to practice it, and real-life examples to bring them to life. So grab a notebook, or just let these words wash over you. You don’t need to master them—you just need to remember that truth is always available to you.

179. Three Empowering Truths to Anchor You in Divorce

Hey Joy Seekers, and welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn.Today’s episode is deeply personal and very special to me because I’m celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary with Eric. Yes—20 years! I want to share a little of our journey, not just as a tribute to him, but as a message of hope for each of you.

If you’ve gone through a divorce and you’re wondering if a joyful, lasting marriage is still possible… I’m here to tell you that it absolutely is. And if you’re in a marriage right now that feels hard, maybe even hanging on by a thread, I want you to know it is so worth it to keep fighting for it, to keep choosing each other, and to keep inviting God into your relationship every single day.

Our story hasn’t been perfect—no marriage is—but it’s been beautifully worth it. I hope that as I share some of the lessons we’ve learned, the struggles we’ve worked through, and the joys we’ve celebrated, you’ll feel inspired to believe in the possibility of a love that lasts and grows deeper with time.

180. 20 Years of Marriage- The Lessons, the Love, and the Choice to Stay

Hey there, Joy Seekers— Welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn. Today, I want to talk about something that affects all of us more than we realize, something I see over and over again in my own life and in the lives of the people I coach: ✨ The power of the story we tell ourselves.

This is true for all of us, but especially for those of us walking through divorce, betrayal, deep grief, or any kind of painful chapter.

Because we all tell ourselves stories. About our marriage. About our divorce. About our pain.
About who we are because of it. And those stories shape everything. At some point, your story also deserves to be reframed. Not because the past didn’t hurt, but because you don’t have to stay forever trapped in it.
