In the months sinceher split from her husband of 32 years,Kody Brown, theSister Wivesstar, 52, has been undergoing what she called “a season of change.”
In a lengthy update shared on her Instagram Sunday, shereflectedon the last year of her life, noting how it has been “a time to look inward, decide what is me now, what is not anymore.”
Alongside her smiling selfie, Meri revealed she was “letting go” of the past, and instead focusing on what comes next.
“It’s a time to create the updated version of me, and in doing that I’m not afraid to retreat into myself at times while I learn, create, and become, all the new parts of me,” she wrote.
For Meri, this period of growth has been “a time to part ways with all the ‘stuff’ holding me back, holding me down, and what is holding on to me, that stuff doesn’t serve me anymore."
“A time to shed resentment, pain, hurt, even those same emotions of others that I’ve been carrying, that are not mine to carry,” she wrote, adding, “THIS is my evolution.”
Of her split with Kody, 54 — which came after hisseparation from Christine Brownin 2021, and was announced in tandem with his split from his third wife,Janelle Brown, in a shocking season finale last year — Meri has been open about her realizations about their relationship.
In June, she shared avideoon TikTokadvising followers to trust their gutas she reflected on her own lack of trust in herself. “We don’t trust ourselves as much as we should,” she said.
She admitted that she was working on “having the courage to be true and authentic to myself, to be able to do and say the things that I know that I need to do because ultimately, when you trust yourself and you act on that trust, it’s going to give you more power in the long run.”

“I think a part of them would always be a little bit sad that this didn’t work and that the big family didn’t work,” she said during the season 17Sister Wives: One on Onespecial. “And I think that there’d be a little bit of a mourning and a little bit of a loss there still, because it’s a dream, right? It’s giving up on a dream, and it’s not a dream that they wanted to give up on, necessarily.”
She added: “I don’t see them looking for another wife after this.”
After separating from Kody in November 2021, Christine went on to dateDavid Woolley, with whomshe is now engaged.
