Resilient & Radiant: For women navigating towards their True North

Sovereignty and Liberation: How Divorce Can Be a Rite of Passage, Not a Failure with Gwendoline Van Doosselaere

Ellen Wyoming DeLoy Episode 6

In this deeply moving conversation, Ellen Wyoming DeLoy speaks with Gwendoline Van Doosselaere, founder of Artemis Divorce Coaching, about reframing divorce from a story of failure to one of sacred transformation.

After navigating her own multi-year, six-figure divorce during the pandemic, Gwendoline discovered her calling as what her clients lovingly call a "divorce doula" - part strategist, part cheerleader, and full-time witness to one of life's most profound rites of passage.

This episode explores:

  • How divorce can be a transformative return to your sovereign self rather than a shameful failure
  • The difference between divorce coaching and legal/therapeutic support
  • Navigating the emotional chaos, fear, and societal stigma that surrounds separation
  • Why women often shrink themselves in relationships and how divorce can be a homecoming
  • Practical guidance for supporting children through family transitions
  • The importance of community and witness during life's most disorienting moments

Gwendoline's approach centers on a powerful truth: divorce isn't just a legal process, but a rite of passage that, when held well, returns us to ourselves - not just divorced, but sovereign. Whether you're contemplating separation, supporting someone through divorce, or simply interested in stories of profound personal transformation, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on reclaiming your voice, power, and clarity during life's most challenging transitions.
