Dating After Divorce | Christian Dating, Codependency, Dating with Kids, Narcissist, Trauma Healing, Divorce Recovery, Dating Again, God-Led Relationship

I’m Patty Martin-Guerra, and this podcast proves that your greatest love story is coming, I found love at nearly 50 – not by luck, but by surrendering myself to the Lord..
For years, I believed ”love wasn’t in the cards for women like me” and I attracted toxic relationships because my wounded inner voice believed I deserved less than God’s best.
Everything changed when I embraced Matthew 6:33 says, ”But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
When I stopped chasing love and started pursuing wholeness, letting God heal my past traumas, everything shifted. If I found an incredible, healthy, God sent love at nearly 50, having two kids and a complicated past, so can you. Age isn’t your enemy. Your children aren’t obstacles. Your divorce isn’t a scarlet letter.
Every Tuesday, we meet in this space where divorced women become whole, and broken hearts become wise hearts.
Sister, your love story isn’t over – it’s just getting to the good part. Subscribe and leave a review so this message reaches more women who need to hear it. Blessings!

In this episode we explore how past betrayal trauma affects your current relationships, even with good men who are doing everything right.
We discuss the self-sabotaging behaviors many of us develop as protection mechanisms—checking phones, creating loyalty tests, keeping escape plans—and why these patterns keep us trapped in a cycle of distrust.
I share Monica's story, a woman who ended a healthy relationship because she couldn't accept that someone could be genuinely transparent, and I give you a practical vulnerability exercise you can start today.
If you've experienced betrayal in the past and feel like you can't let your guard down with someone new, this episode will help you understand why—and how to begin healing.
