Dear Divorce Diary

Coach Dawn hosts Dear Divorce Diary like a long voice note from a friend who has already walked the road you are on. She is a certified life coach who went through her own divorce in midlife, and she folds that experience into every episode without making it the whole show. Most episodes run 20 to 30 minutes, which is about the length of a school pickup line or a walk around the block, and that is clearly the point. You are meant to listen in the cracks of a day that already feels too full. Dawn covers the hard logistical stuff like co-parenting schedules, first holidays alone, and telling extended family, alongside the quieter interior work of grief, identity, and finding yourself likable again. She brings on guests occasionally, but the solo episodes are where the show shines. Her tone is warm but not saccharine, and she is willing to name the uglier feelings that come with divorce: relief, rage, and the strange embarrassment of starting over at 45. With 260-plus episodes in the archive, there is a back catalog you can mine for whatever phase you are stuck in. If you want a coach-led show that treats divorce as a transition rather than a disaster, this is a good one to subscribe to.
