n this deeply moving episode of My Kommunity, John is joined by nurse, mother, and all-around incredible human Cecile Dimizio for a raw, vulnerable, and inspiring conversation about love, divorce, faith, motherhood, and the power of self-reflection.

Cecile opens up about:

• Her 20-year relationship and the journey to divorce
• What love looked like at 18 vs. what it means now
• Defining moments that shaped how she loves and how she wants to be loved
• The power of faith and surrender during life’s unravelings
• Core memories that shift your life forever
• Learning to stop accepting “good enough” and start choosing yourself

💬 With warmth, humor, and brutal honesty, Cecile reminds us that self-discipline is the highest form of self-love — and that sometimes, walking away is the most loving thing you can do for your future self.

If you’ve ever questioned your relationship, your worth, or whether you're truly showing up for yourself, this episode is for you.

🌹 P.S. Don’t forget the flowers.
