The Pleasure of Divorce

By Missy McCricakrd

The Pleasure of Divorce is a community about finding joy, pleasure and ecstasy in breakups, separations and saying goodbye. Life is full of duality. The good, the bad, the happy the sad, love and grief. They all exist, sometimes at the same time. Missy went through a divorce in 2020 and is here to share her story and uplift others who've navigated the divorce process to create a life that they love. Join us for episodes twice per month.

#13 Embracing Change

#13 Embracing Change

How do you show up when change happens in your life?

Are you in fear? Flight, fright or freeze?

Do you embrace it with open arms?

If you struggle with change, how do you wish you embraced it?

Missy goes into some personal updates, how she's embracing feminine energy moving away from harsh, strict deadlines and pressure to a more flowy, fluid existence. How she's managing the divorce process. So much is in flux. It can feel chaotic, out of control. By tuning into the breath (there's a little meditation during the middle of this episode), we can more easily ground into the present moment where everything is okay.

#12 Healing Non-Romantic Relationships

#12 Healing Non-Romantic Relationships

Connections with others is so important. 

Why is that something that we let go of when we're in a romantic relationship?

In today's episode Missy talks about what she's been doing to really connect with female friends again this year as part of her new years intention. 

We go over some forgiveness work that can make it easier to trust friends if there has been a lot of trauma with friends in the past. We talked about Ho'Oponopono meditation to lean into that forgiveness work and the cutting of energetic cords to give them their energy back and reclaim our own energy back to us so that the energy vampires can't keep benefiting from our good vibes. 

Missy shares personal stories of reconnecting with old friends and some good ways to structure calls, if you're more of a planner or to be more sporadic with the connections that you have with friends. Connect with your friends when you feel called. There is an energetic connection so likely if you're thinking about them, they're also thinking about you. Reach out!!!

#9- Breaking Vegan & Creating more Flexibility in your Life

#9- Breaking Vegan & Creating more Flexibility in your Life

It has been a while since my last episode so I wanted to share some updates in my life. 

Recently, I’ve been reevaluating a lot that has been going on that is no longer serving me. I’ve been vegan since 2017 and recently I’ve not been feeling like it’s serving me in a positive way. I’ve been feeling lethargic, gaining weight and just not feeling the greatest. So I’ve decided to go back to eating meat. Being thankful for how the food came to my plate and really being mindful of how I’m eating and how I’m feeling when eating food. I'm definitely not saying, "Don't be vegan" I LOVED being vegan, it just was causing me more harm than good in the end. Will eating meat last for me? Who knows! I might be vegan again some day. 

Journal prompts for you (along with a little meditation during the episode 🥰) 

1. How can you be more flexible in your life? 

2. Is there something that you’re doing that is no longer serving you to your highest potential? Why are you still doing it? What’s holding you back from changing it up? 

3. How can you be kinder to yourself and tap into your intuition to do more of what fees good and in alignment in your life? Meditate on that! 

Thank you so much for listening!!

#7- How to fight Overwhelm at Work

#7- How to fight Overwhelm at Work

When you’ve been OOO for a few days to a few weeks, things can pile up. Emails keep coming in, projects and constituent requests coming through and reconciling your receipts need to happen (if you’ve gone on a business trip). In this episode, I share 6 tips (I realized three of them are external and there are internal) that can help you move from overwhelm to content and productive in a matter of days. 1. Tell your boss that you’re catching up and talk about priorities. 2. Take one thing at a time. 3. Their emergency isn’t my emergency. 4. Take care of yourself and get enough sleep. 5. Take a deep breath, roll your shoulders back and repeat a mantra that everything is okay. 6. Make sure to take breaks and go outside (if possible) during your workday. Follow me on Instagram @missymscott to learn more about what I do and to get on my email list if you’d like more tips like these right to your inbox!

#6 - How to answer: "So, how's work going?"

#6 - How to answer: "So, how's work going?"

We’ve all been there. At a crappy 9 - 5, that maybe doesn’t pay us as much as we’re worth, where your boss doesn’t understand you, where you wonder every single day where on Earth did your colleagues come from because they are the WORST and you imagine what life would be like if you were literally anywhere else but this job.

Then you realize something else is happening.

The Holidays are coming up and if you haven’t already been going to parties, you’re about to. Whether you’re spending time with friends or family inevitably someone is going to ask you how your job is going. If you HATE your job, what the heck are you going to say?

Are you going to be honest and maybe look like you’re complaining?
Are you going to lie and say that everything is fabulous but want to throw up when you’re saying it because it is so inauthentic to how you really feel about it?
Maybe you started your own business and it’s a little woo woo and your parents/family are NOT woo woo at all and you’re wondering how to tell them that you left your stable 9-5 to pursue your passion.
How are you going to tell the story of what you do?

Telling the story.

Steps you can take to craft a career story even when you’re unhappy in your current job:
1. Think of the Positives
2. Think of the Frustrations
3. Analyze
4. Digging Deep on the Frustrations
5. Spin it!
6. Share it

I'm looking forward to hearing about how answering these questions go for you. Comment on the blog or DM me on Instagram: @missymscott.

#4 - 3 Lessons Learned from Breathwork Meditation

#4 - 3 Lessons Learned from Breathwork Meditation

Breathwork has changed my life. Yes, breathing a 3-part breath a few times per week has changed my life. I did a pause from Social Media this week and didn't get anything out of it until I did the breathwork and then the real shit hit the fan! In this pod, I go through everything that came up for me, what I'm working on and how I'm moving forward. There are action items for you to follow if you wish:

Actions/Journal prompts:
For this week, notice the internal dialogue that you’re saying to yourself. Is she nice? Is she mean? How can you be kinder to yourself and to other people?
Really tune in to how you’re feeling when making decisions. Do you make them from your heart or from your head? Can you tell the difference? Take a pause and really breathe into the decision to let your intuition take the lead. What is going to make you happy in this moment and decide from that place.
Is the universe constantly sending you messages that you’re not listening to? Have you been listening to these nudges? What are they and how are you going to take one action step toward this sign?

Let me know how it goes for you! Send me a DM on Instagram @missymscott. I can't wait to hear from you and thank you so much for hanging out with me today!
