In this week's episode, I shared my experiences of moving into what my granddaughter cleverly dubbed "Peach Palace." As I settled in, I encountered a cascade of reflections, notably on the pursuit of perfection that has defined many facets of my life.


The episode dives into the intricate ties between the quest for perfection and its impact post-divorce. It's an insight into how high-achieving women, like many of us, often take on an unwarranted sense of failure when marriages end. We burden ourselves with the weight of unrealistic expectations, forgetting that relationships are multifaceted equations involving multiple variables, not just ourselves.


I delved into how I've learned to reframe my thoughts and challenge these damaging perceptions. Challenge your negative thoughts, put them on trial, and see how weak their arguments are. Giving yourself a break is essential while going through such a process.


Thank you for tuning in to the Divorce Chapter podcast. If you believe this episode could help others, feel free to share it. Remember, you're not alone in this journey.
