Do you stay for the kids, when the love is gone?

This week we have a dad who’s called in asking exactly that. So I brought on Lisa Sarayeldin (@lisa.sarayeldin) a coach, author and single mother do discuss how she felt when she faced the same question. We hash out:

💔 When do you know you’ve just hit a rough spot in your relationship v when the love is gone?

💔 What things can you do to support yourself in coming to the decision whether to leave or stay?

💔 The fear of judgement from your kids, your tribe and the world

💔 Starting over (if that’s what you choose)

and so much more…
