When a 25-year marriage ends, the question isn’t only “What happens next?” Sometimes it’s “Who am I now?”

In this candid, funny, and empowering conversation, Bri Clay joins Dishing on Divorce to talk about what it really takes to rediscover yourself after divorce—from rebuilding independence and challenging old beliefs to reconnecting with your body, your confidence, and your capacity for pleasure.

As the founder of Life After Divorce, a certified life coach, American Board Certified Sexologist, and certified Sensual Shadow Work Practitioner, Bri helps women examine the guilt, shame, body-image struggles, and deeply ingrained “scripts” that can follow us into our relationships and our lives.

They talk about learning what you actually like after years of putting everyone else first; why Bri believes you should “date yourself” before jumping back into dating; body mapping and mirror work; navigating intimacy and menopause; communicating your desires; setting boundaries; and understanding when coaching and therapy can work together.

Bri also shares the powerful mindset shift that helped change her own journey: seeing divorce not as a death, but as a rebirth.

Whether you’re newly separated, rebuilding after a long-term marriage, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, this episode is an invitation to give yourself grace, get curious about who you are now, and create a next chapter that feels authentically yours.
