In this short advice segment, the speaker emphasizes that creating new traditions is an essential part of healing and rebuilding after a divorce. She advises viewers to approach this process with curiosity rather than nostalgia, noting that while nostalgia is natural, curiosity drives forward momentum and helps shape a new life. She shares a quote from W. Somerset Maugham—"Tradition is a guide, not a jailer"—to illustrate that traditions should serve as inspiration, not constraints. The overall message encourages viewers to experiment, have fun, and intentionally craft the traditions that support their post‑divorce growth.

Creating new traditions is part of the healing and the rebuilding process after divorce. And you might try some things and they don't work out, and you might do something once and you're like, this is it, this is a keeper. So be curious instead of nostalgic. There's nothing wrong with being nostalgic, but being curious is going to help you to keep moving forward. It's going to help you to create this new life. And I love this quote from W. Somerset Maugham, who says, "Tradition is a guide, not a jailer." So have some fun and create the traditions that you want to create.
