Christmas after divorce can feel lonely, heavy, and emotionally overwhelming. In this final episode of Season 1, Christmas After the Divorce, I share my personal story of navigating the holidays after separation — the grief, the anger, the loneliness, and the slow journey toward peace.

This episode speaks to anyone experiencing divorce, separation, grief, or major life changes during the holiday season. I open up about spending Christmas alone, co-parenting through the holidays, financial stress, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure to appear happy when your heart is breaking.

You’ll hear reflections on healing after divorce, creating new holiday traditions, surviving Christmas when life no longer looks the same, and why choosing peace matters more than chasing happiness. I also share practical ways to cope with Christmas after a life-changing event and affirmations to help you get through the season.

This is the Season 1 finale of Begin Again. If you’ve missed earlier episodes, now is the perfect time to catch up before Season 2 returns next year.

✨ Includes a special mention of The Begin Again Journal — a guided journal created to help you reflect, process emotions, and find peace during difficult seasons.

If Christmas feels different this year, this episode is for you.

Parenting after a divorce is a journey no one prepares you for.

From guilt and grief to resilience, healing, and rebuilding peace, this episode explores what it truly means to parent with love after heartbreak.

I share the raw moments—the anger, the loneliness, the shame—and the practical steps that helped me regain control of my emotions, protect my peace, and create a stable, loving environment for my children.

If you’ve ever struggled with co-parenting, single parenting, resentment, or the pressure to “be both parents,” this episode will remind you that you are not alone… and you are stronger than you think.

In this deeply personal episode of After the Divorce, Uldean opens up about the hidden pain behind her marriage — the financial loss that cracked the foundation, the emotional punishment that followed, and the journey from guilt and self-blame to truth and freedom.

Through counselling, faith, and clarity, she discovered life-changing truths about emotional responsibility, infidelity, identity, and worth. If you’ve ever been blamed for someone else’s brokenness, this episode will remind you:

You didn’t cause their wounds — you only revealed where they still hurt.

This is an episode about healing, reclaiming your value, and finally knowing…

you were enough all along.

When my marriage ended, I didn’t just lose a husband — I lost friends, family connections, and even parts of my community. In this episode, I open up about how divorce revealed who was truly for me and who was simply there for the good times.

I share the lessons I learned about discernment, loyalty, and the quiet strength it takes to walk away from relationships that no longer serve your peace. Hard times have a way of uncovering truth — and while that truth can be painful, it also brings freedom, clarity, and the courage to start again.

In this episode, I get real about something many women face after divorce — learning to love the woman in the mirror again.

When my marriage ended, I struggled with my body image, weight gain, and the habit of comparing myself to my ex’s new partner. It left me feeling unattractive and unworthy. But through counseling, self-care, and faith, I slowly began rebuilding my confidence and discovering that healing starts when I stop comparing and start loving myself again.

This episode is a reminder that I’m not in competition with anyone — and neither are you. What we carry is unique, powerful, and deeply valuable.

💛 She is not me… and that’s my power.

I Am ULDean

In this episode of After the Divorce, I’m sharing one of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned on my journey — no one is coming to rescue you.

When my marriage ended, I felt completely alone. The person who once looked at me with love now barely spoke to me, and I found myself trying to fill that emptiness — through relationships, distractions, and the hope that someone else could make it all better. But the truth is, healing doesn’t come from someone saving you. It comes from realizing you can save yourself.

In this heartfelt conversation, I talk about what it was like moving to a new country as a single mom, struggling to rebuild, and learning to find strength in my own independence. I share how faith, healing, and time helped me stop waiting to be rescued — and instead become the hero in my own story.

If you’re feeling lost after divorce, craving love, or wondering when life will start to feel normal again, this episode will remind you that your new beginning starts with you. You’re not broken — you’re becoming. 🌿

In this deeply personal episode, I revisit Water Lane — the path I once walked in tears after my divorce. It became both a place of heartbreak and healing. I share how every tear shed on that road brought me closer to surrender, freedom, and self-discovery.

From the exhaustion of starting over as a new immigrant and single mother, to hearing God’s quiet whisper — “Rest. This season is not punishment; it is restoration.” — this episode is about finding grace in grief and strength in surrender.

Nina Simone once said surrender isn’t defeat, it’s freedom. Through my own journey, I’ve come to see how letting go opened the door to healing, peace, and purpose.

If you’re navigating life after divorce, loneliness, or a season of change, this story will remind you that even your tears have purpose — and that healing, though slow, always comes.

In this episode of After the Divorce, I talk about how hard and lonely holidays can feel after separation. From those early years of deep sadness to slowly finding gratitude again, this is a reminder that healing takes time — and it’s okay if your celebrations look different now.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada — may you find peace, comfort, and something to be thankful for, even in the chaos.
