Raising Kids and Rebuilding Yourself After Divorce with Julie Sedler

What does it look like to raise kids while navigating the emotional rollercoaster of divorce — and to rebuild yourself at the same time? In this deeply personal episode, Julie Sedler joins Emily to talk about the messy, transformative process of mothering through divorce while learning how to prioritize your own healing, identity, and joy.

Julie is a chemical engineer turned author and speaker whose memoir Watch Me chronicles her journey from burned-out wife and mother to a fulfilled woman charting her own path. Together, she and Emily explore what it means to show up for your kids, even when you feel like you have nothing left, and how to make room for yourself again in the aftermath of major life change.

In this episode, we cover:

• How divorce can impact your parenting and identity
• What “non-standard operating procedures” look like in survival mode
• Letting go of mom guilt while prioritizing your healing
• Creating systems that support your growth while raising kids
• The power of journaling, rituals, and rediscovering yourself
• Why it’s okay to rest—and how to know when you can handle more

Whether you’re going through a divorce or just feeling lost in motherhood, this episode offers practical tools, gentle encouragement, and a powerful reminder: you are worthy, and you’re not alone.
