Divorce Detox Guided Meditation: Check Out, Check In, Come Back to Yourself
Jan 19, 2026
If divorce has turned you into someone you barely recognize—snappy, numb, exhausted, or “fine” on the outside but spiraling on the inside—this episode is for you.
This week on The Crazy Ex Wives Club, I’m sharing something different in the best way: a live Divorce Detox session from inside The Club. It’s a guided, nervous-system-focused experience designed to help you step out of survival mode and reconnect with the version of you that feels steady, clear, and grounded.
And before you roll your eyes and think, “I don’t have time for this,” I want you to hear me: this is the work. This is how emotional regulation actually happens. This is how healing becomes something you feel—not just something you hope for someday.
Why “Checking Out” Is Sometimes the Most Healing Thing You Can Do
Most women think healing means “processing more.” More talking. More thinking. More figuring it out.
But when your nervous system has been running on high alert for months (or years), the most powerful thing you can do is stop.
Not quit. Not avoid. Just pause.
Checking out—on purpose—can look like:
-
stepping away from your phone for 20 minutes
-
sitting in quiet without fixing anything
-
letting your body soften instead of powering through
-
choosing a practice that calms your system, not revs it up
This isn’t laziness. It’s repair.
When you’re constantly “on,” you don’t have the capacity to hear yourself. And if you can’t hear yourself, you can’t trust yourself. That’s why this work matters.
Then Comes the Part That Changes Everything: Checking In With Yourself
Once you create space, something really beautiful happens: you start to return.
Checking in is how you rebuild your relationship with your body, your intuition, and your inner truth. It’s how you start making decisions from clarity instead of panic.
In this Divorce Detox episode, you’ll be guided through a gentle reset that supports:
-
calming the stress response
-
reconnecting to the present moment
-
releasing what you don’t want to carry forward
-
getting clear on who you’re becoming next
-
making small, meaningful commitments you can actually keep
No pressure. No perfection. Just you—coming back online.
Emotional Regulation After Divorce Isn’t a Mindset. It’s a Practice.
Here’s what nobody tells you: time doesn’t regulate your nervous system.
Avoiding your feelings doesn’t regulate your nervous system.
“Being strong” doesn’t regulate your nervous system.
Regulation comes from repetition. From giving your system evidence that you are safe now.
That’s why guided practices like this are so powerful. You’re not just consuming content. You’re building capacity.
And when your capacity grows, everything gets easier:
-
you react less
-
you recover faster
-
you stop spiraling as long
-
you feel more like yourself again
This is the kind of work that changes how you show up—not only for your kids, your job, and your life… but for you.
What You’ll Get From This Episode (Without Spoiling the Experience)
This isn’t a typical “listen while you multitask” episode—although if that’s what you can do right now, it still counts.
But if you can carve out space for it, treat it like a mini session.
In the episode, you’ll be guided through:
-
simple breathwork to settle your system
-
a reflection process to honor what you’ve survived
-
a letting-go moment (the mental weight you’re done carrying)
-
a forward-looking check-in focused on qualities you’re calling in
-
a gentle way to reconnect with your future self and your next chapter
-
journaling prompts to help you integrate what comes up
It’s grounding. It’s calming. It’s the kind of reset you don’t realize you needed until you feel it.
This Is the Work We Do Inside The Club
Inside The Club, we do Divorce Detox sessions regularly because they work.
Not because they’re trendy. Not because they sound nice.
Because when you’re healing from divorce, your nervous system needs consistent support—not random bursts of motivation.
The Club is for women who are done white-knuckling it. Done pretending they’re okay. Done living on emotional fumes.
It’s where you learn how to:
-
regulate your emotions in real time
-
rebuild trust with yourself
-
create boundaries you can keep
-
stop repeating the same painful patterns
-
rise into the version of you that’s been waiting under the survival mode
And you don’t do it alone.
Put Yourself in Spaces That Help You Rise
Your environment matters.
Who you’re around matters.
What you consume matters.
And if you’re trying to heal in the same spaces that kept you stuck—places where you’re dismissed, minimized, or expected to “just move on”—your nervous system will keep bracing for impact.
Healing requires support. It requires safety. It requires community.
That’s why The Club exists: to give you a space where women get it, where you’re held without judgment, and where your healing becomes real.

If you found yourself thinking, “I needed this,” that’s your sign.
You don’t have to do this chapter on hard mode.
Final Thought From Erica
You’re not “too sensitive.” You’re not “crazy.” You’re not permanently changed into someone you don’t recognize.
You’re a woman who’s been carrying too much for too long.
Checking out is how you stop the spinning.
Checking in is how you find yourself again.
Press play. Let your system soften. Let your next chapter start with one small, steady breath.
With love and grace,
Erica Bennett
