Healing After Divorce: What a Wellness Retreat Taught Me About Growth and Letting Go

What do you do when life hands you a moment that feels complicated?

In this episode, I’m taking you inside a weekend that could have gone very differently. My former husband got married, and instead of staying home and powering through it, I chose to leave town and spend the weekend at Civana Wellness Resort in the Arizona desert.

And what I thought would be a relaxing getaway turned into something much deeper.

If you’ve ever navigated divorce, a major life transition, or just found yourself in a season where you’re trying to rebuild and figure out who you are again—this episode is for you.

We’re talking about a different kind of adventure. Not the kind that requires a passport or a plane ticket, but the kind that asks you to slow down, sit with yourself, and actually pay attention to what’s happening inside.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• What an intention-burning ceremony is (and why it was exactly what I needed)

• The unexpected life lesson I learned from hiking through a saguaro cactus forest

• Why slow growth is still meaningful growth (even when it doesn’t feel like it)

• How a simple meditation tool helped me finally build consistency

• What happened at the airport that tested everything I thought I “learned” that weekend

• Why healing isn’t a one-time event—and what it actually looks like in real life

This episode is a reminder that:

• You don’t have to be fully healed to be moving forward.
• You don’t have to rush your growth for it to matter.
• And sometimes the most meaningful adventure you can take… is inward.

If you’re in a season of change, rebuilding, or just trying to feel a little more like yourself again, I’d love to hear from you.

You can DM me on Instagram at @adventure.iseverywhere and let me know what part of this episode hit home.

And if you know someone who might need to hear this right now, share it with them. You never know who’s quietly going through their own version of this.

Next week, we’re heading from inward adventure to a very outward one—my hike through the Grand Canyon.
