There is a great quote by Elaine Welteroth that says “there is so much wisdom locked up in the stories that women never tell” and I couldn’t agree more. At the time of this recording, about 18 months have passed since I made the decision to separate and work towards a divorce.  I spent the first year of that time completely closed up… going through the motions.  Being in the middle of a pandemic made it so easy to hide all of the feelings and emotions that were going on behind the forced smile I shared every day.  I wanted to avoid the judgment that some people have surrounding divorce.  I have a fantastic support system… but you guys… I was alone.  It wasn’t until I actually found some courage and started talking about my life and my stories and experiences and all the things, that life really started to shift, and the fog I had been living in started to slowly clear.  

Once I started opening up and being vulnerable, which can feel totally  scary at first, I met some truly extraordinary women many of whom had also gone through divorce.  It was as if the universe dropped these people in my path on purpose.  Before that happened, I never understood the profound healing and learning and just positive energy and joy that comes from truly being vulnerable and connecting with each other over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine or seltzer or water or whatever your drink of choice is.  There is such power in connecting and sharing our stories and that is what let’s sip together is all about. 

I can promise there will be lots of laughter and there will probably be some tears. I really, at the end of the day, just hope that people can listen and find a little joy or maybe learn something or really someone will listen and just not feel alone.

I’m so excited to share some of my stories with you… some of the mistakes I’ve made (there have been many!), or some things I’ve learned about relationships, finances, taxes, parenting, gutters, dating, all of it!  I’ll be introducing you to some of the best women I know… and all of this will happen around sipping our favorite drinks together.  

Thanks so much for listening, I can’t wait to share episode 1 with you very soon!
