3 Things I Learned from My Divorce with Leah Marie Mazur

Divorce can feel like standing in the wreckage of a life you thought would last forever—unsure where to step next, unsure who you are now that everything familiar has cracked open. In this deeply affirming episode of Divorce Happens, Olivia Howell sits down with Leah Marie Mazur, a Certified Divorce Recovery Coach whose work has become a lifeline for women navigating the emotional aftermath of divorce. Together, they unpack what healing actually looks like—not the rushed, performative version, but the slow, honest work of rebuilding from the inside out.

Leah shares hard-won lessons from her own divorce journey, including why skipping the healing process often leads to repeating the same relationship patterns. With clarity and compassion, she explains how self-awareness, boundary work, and understanding your role in past relationships are essential steps in true divorce recovery. The conversation explores how journaling can become a powerful, accessible tool for healing—one that helps women get curious instead of judgmental, and reflective instead of reactive. This episode speaks directly to those grappling with emotional abuse, toxic dynamics, or the fear of choosing “wrong” again.

At its heart, this episode is a reminder that divorce doesn’t have to be navigated alone. Leah and Olivia emphasize the life-changing impact of community support, coaching, and assembling the right “Avengers” around you—from emotional health experts to co-parenting specialists. Listeners will walk away with practical tools, mindset shifts, and the reassurance that clarity, confidence, and personal growth are possible on the other side of divorce. Healing is not linear—but with the right support, it is achievable.
