Episode 32: From Chaos to Clarity – Dr. Kate Flynn’s Guide to Post-Traumatic Growth

Host: Melissa Farag, Divorce Mediator
Guest: Dr. Kate Flynn, The Crisis Coach

Episode Summary

In this transformative episode of High Vibe Divorce, I sit down with Dr. Kate Flynn, a developmental psychologist and crisis coach who helps individuals navigate high-stakes personal and professional crises. With a background in clinical psychology and entrepreneurship, Kate developed a framework for stabilizing chaos, supporting strategic decision-making, and helping individuals emerge from crisis with clarity and control.

Kate shares her personal journey through an unexpected life crisis—her ex-husband’s arrest—which forced her to rebuild every aspect of her life. Through this experience, she uncovered the power of post-traumatic growth, a psychological phenomenon where individuals can emerge from adversity stronger, more intentional, and more connected than ever before.

If you're facing a divorce or any major life crisis, this episode is packed with insights on how to shift from reacting to responding, regain control, and harness life’s toughest moments as a catalyst for growth.
