Everyone wants to feel seen and heard, but during and after divorce, many women feel invisible. Despite the progress we've made as a society, divorce still remains a source of guilt and shame, and unfortunately, the stigma remains. The change in your relationship status can ultimately lead to feelings of fear, insecurity, depression and worthlessness.
In this first episode of the new show, I share my own experience of feeling invisible throughout my two divorces and what I did to work through the difficulties in order to feel seen and heard again. The solutions provided may not be easy, but they are simple and effective.
As with all episodes, I start the show off by spotlighting a woman from history in order to honor them, inspire courage, and provide a backdrop for the subject of the episode. More information on these women can be found on the website.
The new support group is just getting started, so please join us!
The goal is to create a community of supportive women who are navigating divorce and want to both support and lean on other like-minded women.
