Nadia Bartel reveals how she pulled herself out of a ‘down and out place’ during her divorce from ex-husband Jimmy four years ago
Former AFL WAG Nadia Bartel has revealed how she ‘healed’ herself after her painful split from ex-husband Jimmy Bartel in 2019.
The fashion designer, 37, revealed that on Thursday during an Instagram Q&A she used “breathwork and meditation” when she was in a “down and out place.”
She shared her advice after a fan asked for tips on starting a ‘healing journey’.
“This is hard to answer because I think everyone’s journey is so specific to them,” Nadia replied.
‘It’s interesting because I feel life will always push you to find your path and your purpose – you just have to listen. And if you don’t do what fills your cup, you’ll be pushed back.’

She explained, “Personally, breathwork and meditation helped me a lot four years ago when I was really in a down and out place.
“Recently, journaling and exercise have also helped.”
Nadia said she also enjoys “learning and reading about different spiritual practices and then applying them.” You’ll know which exercise is right for you once you’ve tried it, because just because it worked for someone else can it be good for you.”
The Bartels, once considered a glamor couple of the AFL, split in 2019 after five years of marriage.
The couple married in 2014 and share two sons, Henley, four, and Aston, seven.

Nadia said at the time, “It’s been a really tough month for me and the boys.”
“My only focus now is to continue to protect, care for and provide for my two beautiful boys as this is a personal matter. I am so thankful for my very supportive family and friends.”
Jimmy, famous for his tenure with the Geelong Football Club, welcomed a baby girl on April 4 with his new girlfriend Amelia Shepperd.
