In this episode I go a little further into my experiences with divorce and some of the reasons. DIVORCE IS NOT THE EASY WAY OUT. It's such a painful experience for you and if there's kids involved, it's even deeper. But, sometimes, you have to put away the fear of "what if" and be more afraid of "what is." I was more afraid of things being the same way they'd been for the past 6 years, than I was about how they would be for the next 6 if I didn't make the choice to choose myself. I Am not a divorce advocate, I Am an advocate of self-love, self-preservation, self-appreciation, true happiness, and fulfillment. My life, your life, our lives should be joyful. We should be experiencing connections that bring us closer to ourselves, not further away. Being the mother of 2 girls, I understood the importance of not only telling my daughters they need to love and stand up for themselves, but also the importance of showing them what that looks like, even when the choice is hard.
