Journey with me as we explore how the twists and turns of my life sparked by my divorce (at 40 years old!) led to a transformation from an over-functioning, people-pleasing, know-it-all, control freak into a sassy, courageous, vulnerably authentic adventurer finding answers day by day. Buckle up for a wild and wacky ride because truth is often stranger than fiction! ____ Jaime describes herself as an adventurer, storyteller, sensualist and intentional living advocate. She lives full time in Greece with her second husband, Georgios and is proud to be a bonus Mother to her two daughters, Darian & Piper, and bonus Yiayia to her granddaughter Faewyn. She supports fellow soulful adventurers in creating extraordinary lives of aliveness, connection and impact - via a variety of self-development offerings including 1:1 coaching, group programs, community connection, portrait and brand photography, and via curated transformational adventures & experiences. Active in these offerings and programs include core themes of identity exploration, grief, love, self-trust, confidence, self-acceptance, energy management, embodied self-expression, creativity and intentional living. She works with people to cultivate greater presence, play, pleasure and rest in their lives, as well as tools of honesty, compassion, curiosity, resiliency and deeper belief in self. Jaime nourishes herself with travel, gardening, dancing, reading, yoga, savoring delicious food, sunsets by the sea and connecting with beloved humans. She plays in her kitchen and with her camera - often accompanied by music from her epic themed playlists. Some of her favorite entertainment programs include: The Big Bang Theory, Grace & Frankie, Schitt’s Creek, Ted Lasso, Shrinking and The Office. Jaime believes that heartfelt transformational journeys woven with humor are soulful medicine. Jaime considers herself fortunate to be connected to a vibrant community of soulful humans around the world. And consciously invests time and energy into relationships with her beloved humans.

We were still working and living together—going through the motions—and had a lot to sort out as we navigated uncoupling our lives. I invite you to join me in this episode as I share this time of sorting out and regrouping, as well as the many perspective pivots that helped me during this phase.

In this episode, you’ll hear:


  • The tools and people that were really supportive for me during this time
  • How I started to embrace the idea that I didn’t know—and didn’t have to know yet—what was next for me in my life
  • Two pieces of wisdom and perspective shifts that were so helpful to me during this time
  • A silver lining from this experience that really helped me navigate through it
  • The ways I grew through this transition and the gift that I gave myself
  • THIS thing that happened kind of innocently and accidentally enough—at first—that I’m not proud of but helped me get closure
  • And the super juicy mantra that carried me through the period moving forward and as I started my adventures in January!

They’re multifaceted and there isn’t only one definition, one experience, or one truth to the situation. It’s a tightly woven tapestry of emotion, experience, and perspective. And my divorce was no different.

Today, I’m sharing what began to unravel after my then-husband asked for a divorce, as I had to learn to process and navigate this information while keeping it a secret from everyone else for a few painful weeks. Join me as I share my experience of figuring out how to navigate the divorce with alignment while simultaneously holding space for what was true for me, what was true for him, and what was true for our daughters.


In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • What I mean by “holding space”
  • The 3 energetic resets that helped me through the toughest parts of my divorce
  • One of the things that helped me be able to hold space for the multiple truths in our family
  • My lifelines during those first few super challenging weeks
  • How the conversation went when we finally told our daughters about the divorce, and the 4 guiding principles that were alive for me going into that family meeting
  • Where—in the span of a few hours—I experienced one of the most painful and heart wrenching moments of my life as well as one of the most special and beautiful ones
  • What helped us navigate forward in alignment
  • And the first moments where I started to look at what I really wanted and what I wanted from my path moving forward

Unwinding all the interwoven threads of connection takes time and intention. It is tricky to navigate, especially with intense, nuanced and often very different emotions present for all parties. But for me, within the complexity, I also found many insights, discoveries, and aha moments bubbling up that inspired me as I began moving through it.


So in today’s episode, I invite you to join me as I share how I began navigating through my divorce and uncoupling with love, curiosity, and compassion (and a little competitiveness!). I also share some of the biggest lessons that I discovered that I still carry with me today.


In this episode, I’m sharing:

  • The message that bubbled up for me on a vision quest just before my then-husband told me he wanted the divorce
  • THIS thing I continued to anchor into over and over as I navigated my way through this
  • A weird motivator for me that helped guide me forward and give me a direction
  • The surprising thing that happened when I realized I’d hit rock bottom and my worst fears had come true
  • A huge part of the discomfort I experienced going through this time that I didn’t expect
  • One piece of wisdom I learned during this time that I continue to carry forward with me
  • And more!

I’m not attracted to you. I’m no longer in love with you.” Well, when it happened to me….I burned A LOT of sage.

Join me for the next installment of our journey together as I guide you through what happened when we returned from Greece (yes, from that “what the hell was I thinking?! trip!) up until my then-husband told me he no longer loved me and wanted a divorce.


I’m sharing:

  • The master plan I’d come up with to fix my marriage that didn’t work out at all how I’d planned
  • How my idea of self-care changed during this time (and how I now bring THIS piece into self-care that used to be missing)
  • The beginning of my spiritual nourishment journey
  • Why I wanted to run away after returning from Greece
  • The powerful leadership retreat that opened the door to my life-changing journey of transformation
  • Two exercises from the retreat that ended up being super timely and pivotal for me
  • The moment my husband finally shared his truth with me and why it was the furthest thing from what I’d expected
  • This one thing that I become really grateful for and how it got my attention during my divorce conversation
  • Beginning to hold space for my husband’s truth AND how I was feeling (and how this actually ended up serving me later)

  • An apology that came too little, too late in my marriage
  • THIS moment where all of my expectations for the trip hit me in the face

  • A surprising little voice of wisdom and foreshadowing that told me that there was something more for me there in Mykonos (& why that shocked the heck out of me at the time)

My story is no different. 

So although 2017 was a pivotal year of cracking open for me, I want to start our journey by sharing some key moments that created foundational and existential ripples within me, in the 2 years leading up to 2017. 

These ripples really started the process of cracking me open. They would continue to expand and gain momentum in 2017 starting a process of transformation and healing that would change the course of my life.

In this episode I’m sharing:

  • The events that occurred in 2015 and 2016 that started this process of cracking open
  • The loss of an important family member which led to intense overwhelm, grief and a profound sense of failure & triggered me to evaluate patterns of perfectionism and themes of identity
  • THIS experience in my corporate job that allowed some light to start shining in the cracks
  • And my then-husband’s stage III cancer diagnosis and wellness journey coupled with the loss of a close friend…and how these events created ripples in my perspectives and beliefs about life
