Boldly Moving Forward During And After Divorce

In today’s conversation, host Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with Kirstin Carey, a neuroresilience specialist and serial entrepreneur who’s built multiple six- and seven-figure businesses. Together, they dive into the “beyond” side of divorce by exploring the powerful transformations that can happen when women step out of the shadows, find true alignment in their lives, and consider taking bold steps in their careers.

Kirstin shares her personal journey from supporting her first husband’s entrepreneurial ventures and succeeding in the corporate world, to enduring burnout, grappling with autoimmune illness, and finally realizing that true wellness required a dramatic life and career pivot, including her own divorce. Through stories of self-discovery, resilience, and reinvention, Kirstin opens up about the challenges of leaving a relationship that looks perfect on the outside but just isn’t right on the inside, and how trusting your inner voice can lead you to a more fulfilling, energized, and authentic life.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to transition from a traditional job, or even out of a difficult chapter of life, into entrepreneurship, this heartfelt episode will offer encouragement, practical insights, and actionable advice for harnessing your own “butterfly moment.” Don’t miss this empowering discussion about healing, daring to dream, and building the business (and life) that truly aligns with who you are.
