Divorce isn’t just heartbreak—it’s the quiet after. The empty dishwasher. The bed that suddenly feels too big. The moments no one warns you about when the silence is louder than any fight you ever had.

In this episode of The Nichole Banks Podcast, we’re talking about what I call “The Empty Dishwasher Syndrome”—that ache of everyday quiet that sneaks up after divorce. It’s not dramatic, it’s not messy, it’s not a courtroom showdown. It’s the Tuesday night stillness that makes you wonder, Who am I in this new life?

✨ What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why the silence after divorce can sting more than the chaos before it.
• The hidden grief inside small routines like dishes, laundry, and dinner for one.
• How to reframe emptiness as an opportunity to rediscover yourself.
• Practical tips to fill the quiet with peace, not panic.
• Why “empty” can actually mean “room for new beginnings.”
• 
  

Because healing isn’t just about moving past heartbreak—it’s about learning to live in the quiet and make it your own.
