Children of Divorce

Hey guys, I think a lot of us can relate to having an ‘almond’ parent or relative and it can definitely be confusing and distressing when we are growing up. Food is a source of joy, health and a right, not something we must earn! In this episode, I discuss how my relationship with food was impacted by growing up in a household with an almond mum. I also talk about how I managed to recover from an eating disorder despite hearing not-so-beneficial and triggering comments from my mum. I hope this episode helps. Love you guys, look after yourselves xxx Lydia

Hey everyone, thanks for joining me today, I’m so happy to have you here. Today’s episode was one I really enjoyed speaking about because not only is it something personal I’ve struggled with so much throughout the years, but it is also so prominent in today’s world. 

Everywhere we look online it’s eat this and run this and work out and be disciplined! I am here to tell you NO! What matters is that you have a healthy relationship with exercise and a healthy body, everything else is irrelevant. Block out the noise. 

Sending you guys so much love. I hope you are treating your bodies with kindness and practicing flexibility. I’m proud of you wherever you are. Love, Lydia XXX

Hey guys, thanks for joining me in today’s episode. We talk about a lot of heavy material so I just want to make sure you are all looking after yourselves and drinking (hopefully a fresh) cup of tea and being told that you are loved by either people you trust or yourself or me.

In whatever situation or environment you are in, the neglect you feel is valid; it may look different in your case than other people’s, but if you don’t feel safe, you are not crazy. Look after yourself, you come first. 

I hope to speak about this more and I hope my message comes across that ultimately we survive! We survive the abuse and the abandonment! We make it out alive. My message is one of hope and survival. I love you guys, thanks for listening XXX Lydia

In this episode I talk openly about my real relationship with my sister and how both my parent's divorce and other factors of our environment and individual characters have changed the course of our relationship.

Our relationship with our siblings is an important one as there are few people on this earth who will have the capabilities to understand us like our siblings do, but in this episode I also acknowledge how family doesn't have to be blood and the feelings of isolation and loneliness won't last forever.

I'm here to tell you guys that you are going to be ok, and we are going to be ok! We are survivors and warriors, and we will not give up, it's in our nature. Sending so much love to all of you, thanks for tuning in. Big kiss, Lydia Xxx

In this episode I talk about all things guilt and shame. When our parents separate, how can we not blame ourselves a little bit?When we do not come from love, how can we love ourselves? Well I am here to tell you that you deserve to be loved wholly and completely for you, and you absolutely deserve to be here on this earth. We make our own destinies and our past does not define us. I love you guys, thanks for being here XX Lydia

This episode is for all of you out there who have had to play piggy bank in the middle. Being used as a pawn for money or being constantly in the middle of money arguments is not fun, especially as a kid because it was not even our fault! In this episode of Children of Divorce, I talk about all things money and parental conflict. I hope you enjoy, I hope you feel heard and seen, and reach out if you need anything! My dms are open!

This podcast is for you guys! For the kids out there who struggled and still struggle with their sense of self - I hope our community can help heal each other.

We are not doomed in love nor are we doomed forever - the world is beautiful and we will find the beauty in it. As a fellow child of divorce, I'm here to help and show up as authentically as I can.
