When your parents divorce, you almost always lose one or both parents physically or emotionally. But as our guest today says, we’re not meant to go through life without the mentorship of a father and a mother.
In this episode, Nicole Rodriguez shares the immense healing she’s experienced through parents who were not her own. We also discuss:
- How her parents’ divorce started with infidelity and led her to feeling abandoned and lonely
- The emotional numbness and skepticism toward emotion that she experienced
- How she felt doomed to repeat the cycle of dysfunction and divorce, but thankfully overcame that

#119: Broken is What Happened to Me, Not Who I Am | Stacey
After her parents divorced, my guest felt abandoned and badly hoped it was all a dream that she could just wake up from. Dealing with all the brokenness that followed led her down a path of feeling stuck and thinking her brokenness defined her.
Thankfully, she realized that “‘broken’ is what happened to me, not who I am.” In this episode, we touch on that and more:
- How just having the pain of your parents’ divorce validated is incredibly helpful and often the first step of healing
- The many emotional problems she’s had to battle, including anxiety, depression, anger, self-hate, control, and loneliness
- The tendency in people like us to allow fear to hold us back and cause us to play it safe, but how healing can free us from fear
