ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Separation and divorce can turn life upside down—emotionally, mentally and physically. In this episode of The Candid Divorce Lawyer Podcast, family lawyer Kimberley Davies is joined by Vick Hazell-Pierce, personal trainer and wellness coach, to explore how women can protect their wellbeing during relationship breakdown without pressure, perfection, or punishing routines.
If fitness has fallen off your radar, self‑care feels impossible, or you’re just trying to survive one day at a time, this episode offers practical, compassionate and realistic tools to help you stay grounded when life feels chaotic.
Together, Kimberley and Vick unpack why movement is not a luxury, how tiny habits can become powerful anchors during divorce, and how to care for your nervous system when stress, grief and overwhelm take over.
In this episode, we cover:
How divorce and separation impact physical health, energy, confidence and identity
Why realistic fitness beats extreme workouts, especially during emotional upheaval
Simple movement ideas when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed or short on time
Using walking, strength training, yoga and gentle routines to regulate stress
How movement supports mental health, anxiety and emotional regulation
Practical tips for rebuilding confidence after heartbreak or a controlling relationship
The role of diet, nourishment and self‑worth during high‑stress periods
Nervous system tools including box breathing, grounding techniques and journaling
Why self‑care is essential—not indulgent—during divorce
This episode is especially helpful for women navigating separation, co‑parenting, identity shifts, or major life transitions who want to feel stronger without adding more pressure to an already full plate.
