PODCAST: FLYING FREE
Flying Free Podcast with Natalie Hoffman
Breaking the Cycle of Fear, Obligation, and Guilt
Episode 354
Personal Context
Before founding Artemis Divorce Coaching, I navigated a high-conflict marriage and a prolonged, destabilizing divorce process. In this episode of the Flying Free Podcast, I share what it took to recognize repeating cycles of chaos, trust my body’s signals, and choose to leave even while love was still present.
What I speak to here is not theory. It is lived experience—hard-won clarity shaped by fear, grief, endurance, and the slow rebuilding that follows.
What I Learned
-
Fear, obligation, and guilt can masquerade as morality
-
The body often recognizes truth before the mind can name it
-
Pattern recognition is a form of self-trust
-
Leaving can be an act of integrity, not abandonment
-
Healing continues long after legal divorce ends
Why This Story Matters
I share this story because it informs how I now walk alongside others. I don’t coach from a distance or from answers I’ve memorized. I coach from experience, having lived the terrain, crossed the battlefield, and continued learning how to rebuild a life with clarity and self-trust.
