How to Be OK When Things Are Not OK

This month's discussion is led by Maraya Rodostianos.

Divorce and separation often stir up deep emotional wounds; past traumas, fears, and feelings of powerlessness, abandonment, betrayal , failure and inadequacy - alongside grief, anger, and issues around survival.

While these experiences can shake us to our core, and are undoubtedly painful, they also provide a profound opportunity for transformation and healing. Without the right mindset and tools however, these challenges can overwhelm and derail us.

Many common approaches to resilience focus on surface-level strategies to help us feel better in the short term, but often fail to address the deeper issues that this transition brings to the surface.

Maraya, a trauma therapist who integrates modern neuroscience on trauma and the nervous system with ancient wisdom traditions, offers a more holistic approach. She helps you build resilience from the inside out by shifting your relationship to the pain and discomfort of the experience, and teaching you how to engage with it in a way that fosters healing, growth, and inner strength. In times when we feel powerless, Maraya’s work guides you toward reclaiming your power - not by avoiding the pain, but by learning to navigate it with insight and purpose, using it as a catalyst for growth.

This pivotal transition in your life is ripe for profound healing if you’re willing to meet it fully and have the tools to do so. By embracing the discomfort and seeing this time not as an end, but as a powerful initiation, you can release what no longer serves you, grow your capacity to ride the waves with skill, and emerge with a sense of power, meaning and purpose, amidst the turmoil.

We hope to see you!
