The Journey:
Face the storm. Allow yourself to grieve, rage, or simply feel numb-no judging.Then, strip all the old labels (such as "husband," "provider") and find yourself again beyond the split. It means re-learning self-trust by keeping small promises to yourself. Got out of bed? That's significant. Said "no" to that toxic thought? Yes. A win.
Build real connections, not just on dating apps. Here is where you utilize your tribe (yes, even when it feels unwieldy). Move that body, not for six-pack fame, but because it feels good to be alive again. Own the horror stories without a twinge of embarrassment. Your scars? Proof you're healing.
The Punchline:
Confidence is not knowing the "what" or all the answers. It is messy and imperfect, but still believe deep down inside "I can do this and I'm worth rebuilding."
