Starting Over as a Mom: From Betrayal to Healing, Growth & Finding Yourself Again
Description
What if the hardest moments of your life… were actually leading you back to yourself?
In this powerful episode of Radiant Mom Rising, Mary Dibble sits down with Deana Elwood—a mom of two, former educator, special education advocate, and content creator—to share her deeply honest journey through divorce, rebuilding from nothing, and rediscovering her identity.
From finding love again, becoming a mom later in life, and walking through incredibly challenging seasons, Deana shares what it really takes to hold boundaries, stay grounded, and keep choosing growth—even when life feels uncertain.
✨ In this episode, we talk about:
• Rebuilding your life after divorce and betrayal
• Finding your worth again after heartbreak
• Letting go of what no longer serves you
• Navigating hard seasons with strength and resilience
• Why healing is a daily choice—not a one-time decision
• How to start over and create a life that feels aligned
