In this segment of the YouTube video, Speaker A asks Speaker B for health‑focused advice for women emerging from divorce and how the Women’s Wellness Network (WWN) can assist. Speaker B explains that WWN is a community of women who have navigated divorce, offering shared understanding and peer support. She highlights common post‑divorce challenges—fear, financial uncertainty, unemployment, and health concerns—and stresses that the network’s “modalities” (e.g., confidence‑building practices, emotional‑regulation techniques) help reduce fear, boost self‑confidence, and ease the transition from a partnered to an independent life. The core message is that by first addressing the fear factor through supportive community practices, women can move forward more comfortably into single life.

I couldn't agree more with you. And when I think about it from a health perspective, right, because we do give, give, give. So what would be your recommendation in terms of as you're coming out of this divorce, um, from, from the health side, and how would the Women's Wellness Network be able to support that?
Oh, well, first there's, you know, the Women's Wellness Network is a group of women, and so many of us have been on that journey. So there's a lot of understanding within the group, you know, around that. So to have those kinds of things come into your, into your world to make you feel strong and confident and comfortable, because, you know, coming out of a marriage, it's, you could be very fearful. I know for myself. I was— I didn't know what to do about finances. I didn't have a job. My health was in jeopardy. So just having something that makes you feel confident that you can step forward, that you're going to be okay. You know, it's— we get stuck in that little bit of fear around moving from that relationship, from moving from being a couple, from in a dual thing to being independent. So having those little modalities that we can help ourselves adjust that fear factor, let's say, I think that's a really great place to start because then you don't have that trepidation to move forward, to accept new ways of being in the world, because it is different to be single in the world than it is to be in union.
