EP66 Tinsel, Tantrums, and Texts: Talking to Your Ex (Especially during Santa Season)

The Divorce Chapter

Send us a text

In the spirit of “Santa Season,” this episode looks at one of the most frustrating, nerve-shredding parts of divorce: trying to communicate with the ex. Yep, the person you once shared years of conversations and traditions with now feels like a complete stranger….or worse, someone who couldn’t give a sh*t about you.

And then Christmas comes along, with its extra sprinkling of chaos: holiday schedules, kids’ presents, money issues, and endless logistics. It’s a minefield wrapped in tinsel, isn’t it? But don’t worry….I’ve got you covered.

This week, I’m sharing real, practical strategies to help you manage the “new normal” of ex-communication, especially when emotions are running high. We’ll talk about:

• The car scream
• Finding healthy outlets for your emotions
• Written communication tips
• Handling narcissistic exes
• Using tone and humour

If you’ve ever wondered how to get through this holiday season without throwing tinsel (or a tin of Quality Street) at their head, this episode is for you.

I’d love to hear what you think….. If you find the episode helpful, it would mean the world to me if you left a review or shared it with someone who might need it 💖

Until next week please take care of you, and sending you loads of love,

Sarah x
