From Surviving to Thriving: Rebuilding Your Life After Divorce with Lauren Dittle | Savvy Leader

******************************** a quick note before we begin: One of the realities of recording a podcast while living and working on the road is that technology occasionally has plans of its own. During this episode, my video quality wasn't quite what I would have liked, although thankfully the audio came through beautifully and Lauren's video and audio were excellent. Rather than miss the opportunity to share such an authentic and meaningful conversation, I decided to keep the episode exactly as it happened. Thank you for extending a little grace on the production side and focusing on the message. Lauren shares some wonderful insights about resilience, healing, faith, self-trust, and navigating life's difficult transitions, and I believe the conversation is well worth it. After all, life on the road comes with plenty of unexpected adventures—and sometimes that includes podcast technology too. Enjoy the episode! — Kristin******************************************************* What happens when your life falls apart and you're forced to rebuild from the ground up?
