Life After 3 Divorces: What Leah Marie Mazur Taught Me About Confidence
Divorce isn’t the end — it can be the beginning of boundaries, self-worth, and choosing better love.
When I started The Scarlet Edit, I knew I wanted to have conversations that went beyond the traditional storyline. Divorce, affairs, situationships — all of it belongs here. And this week, I sat down with someone who has lived through three divorces and came out not bitter, not broken, but stronger and more confident than ever: Leah Marie Mazur.
Leah is a certified divorce recovery coach, and what struck me most about her story wasn’t the number of divorces, it was the way she turned pain into power. After her marriages ended, she faced her deepest fear of being alone, rebuilt her life on her own terms, and eventually realized her calling: helping other women do the same.
Here are some of the biggest takeaways from our conversation:
Divorce doesn’t mean hate. Leah and I both talked about the friendships we’ve maintained with exes. Society tells us divorce equals anger, but the truth is it can also mean growth, respect, and a different kind of connection.
Self-awareness is the starting line. Leah shared how she had to confront her fear of being alone, quit her job, and rebuild her independence before she could ever feel comfortable choosing a healthier relationship.
You date at the level of your self-esteem. That one hit me hard. Leah explained how the partners you attract reflect where you’re at with yourself. When she was insecure, she settled. When she knew her worth, she raised her standards.
Confidence changes the entire dating game. Instead of asking “Will he like me?” Leah started asking “Do I even like him?” That shift in perspective is everything.
What I loved most is that Leah’s story shows divorce isn’t a failure — it’s a reset. It’s a chance to release guilt and shame, rebuild confidence, and finally demand the love you deserve.
So if you’re divorced, divorcing, or even just questioning whether you’re settling, I want you to hear this: you are not defined by your past choices. You are allowed to want more. And you are absolutely worthy of the love and life you crave.
