Losing Yourself Trying To Be The Perfect Wife: How Good Women Get Lost In The Wrong Roles

Episode 2: Losing Yourself Trying To Be The Perfect Wife: How Good Women Get Lost In The Wrong Roles “You’re not broken. You’re beginning.” — Hannah Hembree Bell In this unfiltered conversation, Hannah sits down with her longtime friend and former client Amanda Diehl — a mom of two, twice divorced, and proof that sometimes the life you want is on the other side of the one that broke you. Together they talk about how good women end up in hard marriages, what shame really feels like, and how to rebuild your identity when the roles of wife and mom stop being enough. This is the episode every woman in “Divorceland” needs — whether you’re thinking about leaving, already in the thick of it, or trying to make sense of who you are after it’s over. 💬 What You’ll Hear 00:00 – The Manifesto Stop saving your life for later.
