WOW Love Light Inspire the podcast

Are you a woman navigating life after divorce, toxic relationships, emotional abuse, or simply the weight of always putting everyone else first? Do you find yourself asking: Who am I now? What do I want? And how do I even begin to rebuild my life?

Welcome to WOW – Love Light Inspire, the podcast where we dive deep into the real stuff—healing, self-worth, emotional freedom, and what it means to rise after life knocks you down.

I’m your host, Lorene Roberts—Counsellor, Root Cause Therapist, program creator, emotional abuse survivor, author, mother, grandmother, and passionate change-maker for women ready to reclaim their power.

In each episode, I bring you honest, soul-stirring conversations about:

Healing after divorce and toxic relationships
Understanding trauma and how it shows up in everyday life
Breaking free from limiting beliefs and people-pleasing
Rebuilding self-worth, identity, and emotional strength
The messy, magical journey of becoming YOU again

Occasionally, I sit down with other women who’ve lived through the fire and come out the other side—with wisdom to share and stories that remind us we’re never alone.

Whether you’re starting over, seeking emotional freedom, or simply ready to stop living small, this podcast is for you.

Expect truth. Expect depth. Expect heart.
No fluff. No sugar-coating. Just raw, powerful insight to support your healing and growth.

✨ You’re not broken—you’re becoming. Let’s walk this together.
