What drives someone to redefine their life after decades of marriage? How can you live through some of life’s biggest challenges – like the loss of a child, the loss of a job and the loss of a marriage, and not only survive but thrive afterwards?

In this podcast episode Dana Cox shares her transformative journey of personal growth and resilience after deciding to end her 33-year marriage. She openly shares how she strategically navigated the divorce process, not just to protect herself financially but also to preserve an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, which was crucial for their six children and three grandchildren.

With candid honesty, Dana recounts the physical, emotional, and mental transformation that followed her decision to prioritize her well-being, peace of mind, and happiness. Her transformation was founded in a powerful mindset shift that caused her to take full responsibility for her part in the ending of her marriage, and to focus on becoming the person she needed to be to create the life she wanted.

Shortly after her divorce, Dana lost her corporate job. But instead of letting that loss bring her down, she simply pivoted and created her own coaching business. Now she empowers other women to prioritize their personal values and follow their hearts too.

If you need an uplifting story of growth, resilience and hope in the face of adversity, this week’s podcast episode is for you.
