Mother’s Day after divorce hits differently.

Not just because the logistics change…

👉 the entire emotional weight of the day changes.

Before separation:
family photos
forced smiles
trying to make the day “perfect”
carrying everyone emotionally while quietly feeling unseen

After separation:
grieving traditions
rebuilding new ones
trying to stay strong for your kids
learning to celebrate yourself

This week on The After Wife, we’re talking about the before and after of Mother’s Day after divorce.

💔 the loneliness no one talks about
🔥 emotional labor moms carry
😂 Coparenting Chaos stories
📱 social media vs. real life motherhood
✨ and learning to rebuild the holiday on your own terms

Because some of the strongest mothers…

👉 are rebuilding while still showing up every single day.

You don’t always get closure.

No explanation.
No accountability.
No real answer.

And somehow… you’re still expected to heal.

This week on The After Wife, we’re continuing our conversation on Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden—and getting into what happens after everything falls apart.

We’re talking about:

🔥 the truth about “no closure”
💰 power, money, and control in relationships
🧠 patterns that existed long before the divorce
👩‍👧 holding it together for your kids while you’re breaking
⚖️ and the question that hits hard:
👉 is divorce worse than death?

Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t losing them…

👉 it’s learning to live without answers.

This book is everywhere right now — and we had to talk about it.

Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden isn’t just a divorce story…

👉 it’s about the moment you realize
you might not have been in the same relationship at all.

“He said, ‘I didn’t leave you… I changed residences.’”

And that’s when it hits.

💔 Not just that it’s over…
💭 but that you may not have known this person the way you thought you did.

In Episode 19, we’re breaking down:
✔ power + control in relationships
✔ financial dynamics no one talks about
✔ acting “normal” while everything is falling apart
✔ and why closure doesn’t always come

If you’ve ever questioned your reality after a relationship…

👉 this one is for you.

If you’re going through a divorce…

you’ve probably realized quickly:

there’s no roadmap.

No one really tells you:
• what to expect next
• what actually matters
• how to make the right decisions in the moment

You’re left trying to figure out:
• what’s normal
• what’s strategic
• what could impact you long-term

All while:
• emotions are high
• communication is stressful
• and every decision feels important

✨ That’s where divorce coaching comes in.

Kylie helps you:
👉 understand what to expect
👉 think through decisions before you make them
👉 stay grounded in high-stress moments
👉 avoid common mistakes

Because this isn’t just about getting through divorce —
it’s about how you move through it.

Kylie is now offering divorce coaching.

Episode 18 You Can’t Pour From Empty
You’re not “too emotional.”
You’re not “overreacting.”
And you’re definitely not failing.

You might just be… exhausted.

Like actually exhausted.

Not:
“I need a nap”

But:
“My body is off, my hormones are off, and I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

And no one really talks about it.

In this episode of The After Wife, we’re getting real about:
✨ Women’s health after kids
✨ The symptoms we ignore or get dismissed
✨ Perimenopause (yes, it starts earlier than you think)
✨ Low iron, brain fog, and burnout
✨ GLP-1s — without judgment

And the part no one connects:

👉 How all of this impacts co-parenting

Because it’s really hard to:
• stay calm
• respond instead of react
• hold boundaries

…when your body is already overwhelmed.

🔥 “You’re not overreacting — you’re under-resourced.”

If you’ve been feeling off, this episode is for you.

Being a single mom sometimes means being the handyman, plumber, mechanic, and homeowner all in one.

But the truth is — most of us were never taught these things.

This week on The After Wife, we’re talking about the real-life skills that make running a home easier:

🔧 The tools that cover 90% of home repairs
🚿 Plumbing mistakes that cost thousands
🏠 Seasonal home maintenance tips
🚗 Basic car maintenance every woman should know
💡 Free help you can get from places like AutoZone
🔥 Homeowners insurance perks (like Ting) most people don’t realize exist

Because confidence doesn’t come from knowing everything.

It comes from knowing enough.

You don’t need a husband.

You just need the right tools.

In this episode of The After Wife, we’re talking about how the people who love you most can sometimes make co-parenting harder instead of easier — without realizing it.

We cover:
• When validation turns into interference
• Why loud support can fuel chaos
• How to protect your peace without cutting people off
• Boundary scripts you can actually use

If venting leaves you dysregulated…
If advice pushes you to react instead of respond…
If you’re tired of absorbing everyone else’s opinions…

🎙️ This episode is for you.

Because life after wife? It’s just getting started.
