No One Dies from Divorce
I’m Jill Coil, the author of the book and docuseries “No One Dies from Divorce.” But with the mental, emotional, financial, physical, and spiritual toll that divorce takes on people, the scope is so big that I decided to create a podcast, so this can be an ongoing conversation.Divorce sucks. I know because I’m a divorce attorney and have divorced hundreds of clients at this point. I also went through a separation myself with my husband. Though our journey ultimately did not end in divorce, it gave me personal insight and empathy into the pain and turmoil of my clients’ lives. So if I can use my experience to save you from some of the heartache, confusion, stress, anxiety, or unknowing, our sole mission for this podcast will have been met. Remember, I am an attorney, but I am not your attorney. I’m inviting other divorce attorneys, relationship experts, mental health professionals, fitness and health coaches, spiritual leaders, and financial advisors, as well as plenty of people just like you, who are going through or have been through divorce, to talk about their journeys.You’re not alone. You can do this. Let me help you to not only survive through, but also thrive after your divorce. We can use our trials as a pivot to become a better version of ourselves. Let’s get through this together.

If you’re struggling in your divorce, stop and close your eyes. Today I’m guiding you through some breathing and mindfulness. Then, let’s figure out what you can learn from this experience. Starting anew might feel daunting. But it actually might be the best thing that ever happened to you. It’s never too late to learn and grow and dream.
Having a clean slate can be so powerful! If you’re struggling, don’t underestimate the art of breathing; stop and breathe. Stop and close your ideas and center yourself. Think about something that brings you joy and think about that while you breathe in and out. You will be ok. Hang on to those thoughts of joy. Figure out what you can learn from your divorce or hardship. It’s hard to sit in failure or disappointment. But these are the very best moments of growth and learning. Learn to be more present, how to communicate, how to find happiness within, how to be a better person. Start dreaming again and then make a plan to make those dreams happen. Keep a journal so you can learn from yourself! Make new friends and find a support system. Find connection and intimacy with other (not talking about sex). Take control of your finances. It’s never too late to learn and grow. Read a book.
