Kerry Jordan: ‘There were times I didn’t want to get out of bed or speak to anyone’ Lessons from leaving a long-term relationship and starting again
When Kerry Jordan ended her 22 year relationship - there wasn’t just the emotional fallout to deal with. There were also practical issues - like how she could afford to live in the south of England as a self-employed photographer.
She decided to move 330 miles away to Cumbria. Where she could just about afford to buy a house - as long as she was prepared to do the renovations herself. A decision that meant starting her business - and her life - from scratch in a completely new part of the country.
In this episode of the Courageous podcast, Kerry shares how this drastic change of lifestyle has changed her - and her business. Including how she’s navigated the highs, lows and challenges along the way.
