SPEAKER_00: Welcome to another episode of Bent Not Broken.
0:04
SPEAKER_00: Heartbreak and trauma may feel like the end of your story, but here it's the beginning of a bold new chapter.
0:14
SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Coach Deborah Griffiths, and this is the space where women rise, rebuild, and rediscover their purpose.
0:23
SPEAKER_00: Remember this truth.
0:25
SPEAKER_00: You are bent, not broken.
0:32
SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to this bent not broken bonus coaching session.
0:37
SPEAKER_00: Today I want to take you deeper into some of the powerful insights shared in my conversation with intuitive psychic, author, and coach Susan Jane.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: Susan has over 20 years of experience helping people reconnect with their intuition, especially after emotional abuse, trauma, and major life transitions like divorce.
1:01
SPEAKER_00: And if you're rebuilding your life after heartbreak, separation, or a painful ending, her wisdom is exactly what your healing journey needs.
1:11
SPEAKER_00: So today I'm breaking down the biggest lessons from our conversation and giving you actionable steps that you can start using right now.
1:22
SPEAKER_00: Coaching insight number one, intuition is your inner guidance system.
1:28
SPEAKER_00: Susan described intuition as the communication between your spiritual self and your physical self.
1:35
SPEAKER_00: It's that quiet voice, sometimes even the loud body sensation, that tries to guide you back to your purpose.
1:44
SPEAKER_00: Maybe during your marriage you felt that pit in your stomach.
1:47
SPEAKER_00: Maybe during separation you sensed something was off.
1:51
SPEAKER_00: Or now, in your recovery, you feel nudged toward a new beginning.
1:57
SPEAKER_00: Your intuition has been talking to you all along.
2:02
SPEAKER_00: In divorce recovery, learning to trust that voice again is one of the most powerful acts of self-healing.
2:10
SPEAKER_00: Coaching insight number two, your body speaks before your mind does.
2:16
SPEAKER_00: During our conversation, I shared a moment from my own wedding day when my stomach flipped so violently that it jolted me.
2:24
SPEAKER_00: Susan explained that intuition often speaks through physical body first.
2:30
SPEAKER_00: Could be that not in your stomach, sudden heaviness, feeling drained around certain people, or maybe a sense of relief when you walk away.
2:42
SPEAKER_00: If you're navigating separation, co-parenting, dating after divorce, or healing broken relationships, pay attention to those signals.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: Your body doesn't lie.
2:55
SPEAKER_00: Coaching insight number three, trauma disconnects you.
3:00
SPEAKER_00: Healing reconnects you.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: Susan shared deeply personal experiences, emotional abuse, a physical attack, and a near death experience.
3:12
SPEAKER_00: And through all of it, she realized she had ignored her intuition for years.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: Sound familiar?
3:20
SPEAKER_00: Many survivors of heartbreak, gaslighting or divorce learn to silence themselves.
3:26
SPEAKER_00: But recovery means reconnecting slowly, gently, to that inner knowing you once trusted.
3:34
SPEAKER_00: Coaching insight number four.
3:37
SPEAKER_00: Start with five minutes of stillness.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: One of Susan's most powerful pieces of advice was this give yourself five minutes a day.
3:47
SPEAKER_00: Five minutes to sit, to breathe, to check in with your body, your emotions, your soul.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: To ask, what do I need right now?
3:58
SPEAKER_00: What is my intuition trying to tell me?
4:01
SPEAKER_00: And where am I being guided next?
4:04
SPEAKER_00: If you feel overwhelmed in your post-divorce life, start here.
4:09
SPEAKER_00: Five minutes becomes permission.
4:12
SPEAKER_00: Permission becomes clarity, and clarity becomes healing.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: Coaching insight number five.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: Nature sends you signs when you're ready to listen.
4:25
SPEAKER_00: Whether it's hummingbirds, butterflies, flowers, songs, or synchronicities, Susan teaches that message often appears when you most need guidance.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: If a symbol reminds you of a loved one, if a song plays at the perfect moment, if a flower or image pulls your attention, pause.
4:49
SPEAKER_00: There's meaning there.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: You are not alone in the season.
4:54
SPEAKER_00: You are being supported.
4:56
SPEAKER_00: Coaching insight number six.
4:59
SPEAKER_00: The message your intuition wants you to hear today.
5:02
SPEAKER_00: Susan ended our conversation with this simple but powerful truth.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: Please be gentle with yourself.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: You did the best you could with the understanding you had.
5:14
SPEAKER_00: You don't need to punish yourself for what you didn't know then.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: Gentleness is a form of healing.
5:21
SPEAKER_00: Self-compassion is a form of courage.
5:24
SPEAKER_00: And listening to your intuition is a form of coming home to yourself.
5:30
SPEAKER_00: If you're rebuilding your life after divorce, if you're healing from heartbreak, gaslighting, or emotional abuse, if you're learning to trust yourself again, your intuition is one of your greatest tools.
5:46
SPEAKER_00: Start with five minutes a day.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: Ask, receive, and act.
5:52
SPEAKER_00: You may feel bent right now, but you are never broken.
