About this podcast
Divorce after betrayal trauma, infidelity, addiction or abuse is different. The Empowered Divorce Podcast meets women wherever they are—questioning whether to stay, preparing to leave, navigating divorce, or rebuilding afterward. Amie Woolsey brings trauma-informed, somatic support, practical tools and honest conversations to help you regulate your nervous system, understand abusive and high-conflict dynamics, rebuild self-trust, and move forward with clarity, dignity and agency. You are the chooser in what comes next.
