S1 E5: When Your Spouse Says They’re Leaving
IIn this episode of Grab Your Light, Lauren begins the first non-introductory conversation of Season 1 by reflecting on the moment everything changed. She shares her personal experience of being told her spouse was leaving and walks through the emotional reality of those first hours and days.
Rather than offering solutions, this episode focuses on presence and survival via listening, self-soothing, and resisting the urge to immediately problem-solve in the midst of shock and grief. It’s a heavy and honest conversation about what it feels like when the life you expected suddenly shifts, and how to steady yourself in the earliest moments of disruption.
This episode marks the beginning of the deeper storytelling and reflection that define Season 1.
