I Had to Lose Two Marriages To Learn How To Love Myself

<p>Season 2 Episode 1: I Had to Lose Two Marriages To Learn How To Love Myself</p><p><br /></p><p>If you've ever walked out of one relationship straight into the next and wondered why it started to feel familiar — this conversation is for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Amy Edwards is the host of "Anything But Mid" and "The Amy Edwards Show", an author, and a musician who looks nothing like the version of "in her 50s" most of us were sold. She's also been divorced twice. In this episode, she's open about all of it — including the parts most women won't say out loud — and we get into pick-me energy, why cheating is rarely about the other person, the mirror practice that changed everything, and how worthiness, respect, and self-trust actually get built.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is raw, funny, and full of the kind of honesty that makes you sit up a little straighter. If you're somewhere in the middle of a divorce — or somewhere in the middle of trying to figure out who you are again — start here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>00:58 — Meet Amy Edwards: podcaster, author, musician</p><p> 03:20 — Two divorces, three marriages, and "anything but mid" 04:30 — Why we repeat the same patterns in the next relationship</p><p>06:40 — "I'm the common denominator"</p><p>08:30 — The dark hole: hope, depression, and getting through it day by day</p><p>10:00 — Where was I giving away my power?- 12:30 — Why cheating wasn't about the husbands — it was about validation- 13:15 — *Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It* (Kamal Ravikant) and the mirror practice</p><p>15:40 — Pick-me energy: how women get conditioned into it- 16:20 — The self-love test: can you sit alone in the quiet?</p><p>18:00— Do your preferences matter?
