Divorce Diaries ShowJun 01, 2023

Last Episode before our Reboot!
Contemplating what you want to hear more of and less of and how to grow from my past. I'm still in the running for two reality shows but it feels like I may be wasting my time with two men that won't commit.
Love what you do and the rest will fall into place or build it and they will come...or a little bit of both?
I talk about this and where I thought I may be with a 'life partner' by 40 and where I'm at today and what I wouldn't trade for the world.

Post Show debrief

I don’t know when to ZIP it
DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE NOT ENGAGING? I'm the queen of this when someone or something is a trigger. I did it a lot post divorce with my EX & I fell into a trap recently again. I always imagine what the 'perfect response' would be and I do the opposite. Landing myself in Looney Tune Land...again
I’m tired of myself doing this while at the same time I tend to want to get out how I feel. I shouldn’t have reacted but I did and Here’s where I go from here?
If only my reactiveness was used for good in the world, leave a response to the episode or comment on the podcast page.

Having Fun

The Rabbi Cometh
Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan, and Flag Day. The Matzah has been eaten, the eggs have been hidden-in my case there's only a few left that are fertile. I'm spread too thin lately and soon hopefully my legs will be.

“Comparison is the thief of Joy”

Filling his Ego with My Texts
Back from Florida & tired of filling men's egos with wearing my heart on my sleeve. I survived Alligator Alley but I feel like I'm going to chomp the next man who enters my life head off because of all the men I waste my energy on.
Includes a clip from the Friday night show in Punta Gorda and how wine makes my fingers text the wrong person.

MY GUT DOESN'T LIE
Eerie intuitive feelings the last 24 hour hours have proven true. That sucker punch to the belly feeling when you see or find something else out is one of the worst feelings to have during the holidays. This Christmas I'm asking for a shield to put around my aurora so I literally dont feel any attraction, chemistry, or even gas from anyone. I can't afford the therapy bill.
Enjoy this emotional and hopefully relatable episode!

Chicago LOVES ME, New York "IT'S COMPLICATED"
Chicago taping and investor's screening went GREAT!! The show went great, packed house, live taping for a special we are putting on Amazon. (Fingers crossed they accept it!) My creative team is on point but I'm alone again in NY and I am feeling the emptiness and coldness of the 'hustle'.

Grateful for You!
A Thanksgiving mini episode, on the night before heading to Chicago. Doing Single Mom life alone by choice on Thanksgiving but with very little dull moments as I parent from Facetime, still am in the weeds with laundry, and contemplate embracing myself.

Fitting the Part
Auditioning for Playboy Murders, Chicago, and Dying Alone-all positive mindset stuff. =) Through humor of course. Trying to navigate into better patterns and find my happy place within my overflowing laundry, sink, and bills.

Another One Bites The Dust
Back after a week hiatus and vocal rest. Clips from the SOLD OUT show in Santa Monica, new men, old men, my abandonment issues, and how it lead to comedy. Stay in the episode it gets very deep towards the end, maybe you can relate.
Heal through humor, check out an upcoming Divorce Diaries, but please if you are man with commitment issues by tickets with friends and don't make direct eye contact with me. My spider sense will find some kind of distorted connection and be depressed for 8 months when you tell me "I can't give you what you need" or "its not you its me"...and also it's you.
Listen first, judge never? Do what you will as long as you laugh.

SMALL CROWDS AND SMALL WINS
I discuss small crowds at my NYC Divorce Diaries but a small win. Sometimes all you need is a little sign to remind you you're journey is different and the right one for your end goal.
At least that's my mindset.

Whatever You Attract is What you Get?
In the Heat of the struggle, what's the worst thing? A new crush, don't worry it is quickly shut down by the so called crush.
Pouring energy into the right thing is super important, no more veering off task. I am sick of hearing "its not personal, it's not you" when every guy I like doesn't like me back.
This episode explores my journey of taking it to hte next level, maxing out- shout out to Ed Mylett, and a recent look at David A. Arnold's life and how he was taken to soon from this world and as a comedian I heard some of his advice and really want to continue applying that mentality to my life.

Go Where the Love Is
Go where the love is, go where the green lights are. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of yellows from inquiries form clubs or bookers and it downright hurts.
I am also getting stuck behind a lot of people who are slow as F in the supermarket like I’ll end up running to Shoprite right before my daughter is done with gymnastics because if I buy perishables at the beginning it’l be 2 hours and it’ll go bad so I wait 30 minute before she’s done to go get the groceries so they don't spoil in the heat. Then I end up cutting it close because I get distracted by checking my IG or email three times in the car, now I’m trying to get out of the store and the people in front of me are moving SOOOO SLOW. literally has happened so many times that today I started to think why has that been happening , is that the other side’s way of telling me…it’s going to take time just trust that you’ll get there.

Fear is a Bitch
What happened with the comedian? Did he text me, did I call him? Yes to both, sort of, find out what he said and why fear is nagging at me along with self doubt and comparison chaos.
This episode gets a bit deep and more honest than usual, I'm letting you in on the vulnerable side of the process which isn't always rainbows and skittles as you are chasing your dreams, catch them I should say. =D

The Comedian & the Cop
I did text him back and my friend and fellow lady in blue weighs in on the situation, she calls in so the audio may not be great but listen in to what I did with the last guy I went out with and how I am refusing to listen to anyone's advice.
I am the person that will ask everyone's opinion until someone gives me the green light to do what I have set in my mind I am going to do anyway.

Our REAL PRODUCER
Meet David Vox Mullen! He's a comedian, actor, musician, producer, writer, and he is the official producer of the Divorce Diaries TV series.
About a year from the original proof of concept/pilot being shot, lots of flakey people and potential 'producers', some heart to heart with the universe, I found the right fit for a producer for Divorce Diaries.
Up until this point I've been producing the show similar to my role as a parent...alone. I have EP's but that is a bit different than a producer, Vox has come on board to produce the show and make Season 1 come to fruition. I couldn't be more excited is an understatement.
I'm excited for you to listen to this episode and hear how David connects to the world of Divorce, comedy, Divorce Diaries, and how he puts some of my exes into a really funny spot during our improv section of the show.

CHAOS IN THE FORM OF A WOMAN EP1
I am sharing one of the next installations of Divorce Diaries, a web series I wrote based on what is going on with Divorce Diaries the scripted series. Listen to a read aloud of the script and let me know your thoughts!
Manny is a producer Michele met and thought she would connect with both professionally and personally, but cut to the same lesson she hasnt learned yet, she has been used as an emotional support dog.
To see this filmed we need support, sponsors, donors, whichever we can get

BUMPING INTO ANDY COHEN
HELLO SORRY THANK YOU is how I introduced myself through a darth vayder mask, being a Stand In for a Bravo Reality Show and trying to not get in my own way with self doubt and comparing myself to others.
How do we not get in our own way? How do we not fall down the rabbit hole of social media comparison of who is doing 'better' than us? Feels like middle school all over again, but maybe that's my problem I need to deal with. More on the latest with Divorce Diaries live shows, television series, and men that have triggered me to appear like a tasmanian devil.

COMEDY TO HEAL
Healing not hurting. I write based off what I experience in life, I get balls to do something then I get anxiety. Comedians write based off their life, its healing not meant to hurt. Would you date a comic who puts her exes in parts of her material? Would you put your ex in your material?
I am examine some comedy, fear, and insecurities mixes with my perception on female comics who should be unfiltered.
We live one life, love it, laugh about it, and try to be as honest as possible. But maybe be a little more patient than me? I don't know I'm still working on it.

REALLY let it Go Michele
I've heard this a thousand times before in my lifetime and its frustrating. I share some info, some humor, and some a bit more emotional on why I can't let things go.
It has nothing to do with having feelings for them still, it has to do with the hurt of feeling used and taken advantage of.
Being Played is one the worst expressions in life, no one wants to feel it and shame on you if you do it.
Have I done it? I try not to, this episode talks about where I am at in 'finding or allowing love in with a man' if its not in the cards for me is this something to be depressed about or motivated by? Love isn't in the air with a man but it is with everything else in life so why focus on the one area that is lacking it?
I'm working on it and if you can connect to this, review, share your thoughts, and keep listening.

Me & Vic Cedẽno PART 2
Vic and I talk more about dating, relationships, intimacy after divorce and how that. connects to the pilot of Divorce Diaries, my emergency calls to my doctor, and how to handle 'avoiders' or men that play the long game.
#divorcediariesshow #divorcediaries #divorce #singlemom #singlemomlife

FEELING LESS THAN WONDER BREAD
A little share of my weekend and what made me bite my tongue when a pregnant lady shunned me into the corner table at a restaurant and how the producer is still avoiding me and answering anything I ask.

MICHELE & VIC: Part 1-"It's CedeÑo"
Part 1 of a two part episode with Vic Cedeno, a comedian, fellow Paterson born and raised like myself, comedian, actor, and father. This part we discuss the pilot and the back story of the Cop.
Vic and I met doing stand up comedy at one of my earlier performances of Divorce Diaries in New Jersey. Since then I knew he'd be perfect for playing one of my exes, the cop.
Vic Cedeno can be found at @vicisfunny on IG and on his podcast The Vcast

A Roast of Dating
Comedian Jonathan Ziegel joins me to talk divorce, dating, comedy, and we roast dating.
I do it a lot already but Jonathan a comedian who produces multiple shows in the tri state area including a roast battle called ROAST BEEF at Stand Up NY in NYC, has a knack for listening to good roasts and for giving me some rationale dating advice. Although we know what I typically do with advice, listen to it and then do the opposite.
Maybe this time is different, Jonathan also weighs in on some of my dating choices. This is a fun, an informative episode that there are men in NYC who actually listen on a date-Jonathan is one of them.
Check out Jonathan on his social media as Jonathan Ziegel or @the_real_jz_!

His Response
My santa letter was acknowledged but not answered. Wishing someone well but not wanting to speak to them is the equivalent to "I hope I never hear from or see you again".
Even a really good slice of pizza can't fix this 'friendship' gone bad. I am swearing off crushes, friendships, romantic weekends, and even a free coffee from the male barista who'se half my age- I'm officially done with thinking their is THE ONE or signs exist. (Damn I'm negative, jokes to follow)
#divorcediariesshow #divorcediaries #dating #singleforlife #single #divorce

Dear Santa
Hoping for a response but it seems like it'll take a Christmas miracle.
Ever want an answer as to why someone doesn't talk to you anymore? Frustrated, confused, and I will for sure be using humor in a later episode to try and piece together why the hell I choose men that leave me faster than you can see Santa on his sled.

Friends without Benefits

Waiting in the Wings
A FRIENDly reminder that I am the underdog, and someone prettier, funnier, and with better skin is waiting to step in front of me onstage.
That's ok though, I'll emerge at some point, but here's a moment that reminded me of the heart of my show, the heart of what I am building as at TV series.

SOLD OUT
Fresh from a SOLD OUT WEEKEND in Punta Gorda Florida, far fetched romances in my head, and finding a happy medium between releasing anxiety and not releasing my impulsivity.

I am WORTH it?
An on the go episode about what happened with operation coparenting mother's day and the relief it brought to my heart.
Also my diluted brain realizes why the "I'm worth it" phrase doesn't always make me 'feel better'. I am worth it, but there's always six other women lingering around that the guy is keeping in his back pocket as 'options'.

Why I am like Debbi Miller from Hysterical Blindness and the deal I make with signs from above.
People use the phrase desperate for love if we want love, but its not correct. As sexual, sensual, and emotionally charged beings we need it , I need it like I need my Cafe Bustelo each morning.
