After Divorce: How to Create a Home You Actually Love

What does it really look like to rebuild your space — and your sense of self — after divorce, when you’re starting over in a “first me home”?

In this episode of Divorce Confidential, Michelle Dellino and Amy Alpeza sit down with Sarah Hurt, founder of Seattle Art Source, to explore how art, design, and intentional space-building can transform post-divorce living into something deeply personal, grounded, and empowering.

Sarah shares how she works with clients — especially newly single homeowners — to take the overwhelm out of designing a home and turn it into a guided, hands-on experience that reflects identity, emotion, and new beginnings.

We discuss:

🔍 Why creating a “first me home” is a key part of post-divorce healing
🎨 How art becomes a powerful tool for identity, control, and emotional reset
🏠 Why seeing pieces in your actual space changes everything about selection
💡 How accessible original art can be (and why it’s not just for luxury buyers)
📦 The value of end-to-end support: selection, framing, and installation
⚖️ How divorce clients often reclaim confidence through their living environment
💬 The mindset shift from “I can’t afford this” to “I deserve this space”
🌿 Why a home should feel finished, personal, and emotionally safe — especially during transition

From empty walls to meaningful spaces, this conversation explores how environment shapes healing — and how intentional design can help people step into their next chapter with clarity and confidence.

🎧 Listen now — and learn how your home after divorce can become your strongest foundation for what comes next.
