the Journey that shaped me
I was once stuck. overwhelmed and in survival mode living through the process of divorce. Honestly, I found it a harrowing and soul destroying experience. I thought the suffering would never end. So many moving parts, finances, coparenting, settlement, ex-husband's new women on the scene to replace me before I even moved out of our home. Discarded and replaced was where all my illusions and past married identity shattered like a fragile mirror.
It hurt. The range, depth and layers of emotion were unlike any other experience and being a Holistic Counsellor for 8+ years meant I had seen and heard so much. But I had also experienced so much of my own healing previous to divorce. I spent years dealing with my childhood trauma and it all came crashing back on those weekends alone when my daughter was with her Dad. I felt like I was 100% back to square one in all aspects of life. All inspiration, potential and belief in life and myself died and I questioned my reality from the shock of the way it all ended.
I wondered if any of the past 20 years had been real.
When I lost my job, (because everything happens at once in divorce, doesn't it?), I decided, NO MORE!!! From that very day, I have devoted myself to living in total alignment to fast track moving on and invoke incredible healing and transformation. Sounds easy right? Well that was only the beginning and now I live to tell the tale of everything that I did to now live a life of freedom and oh so much more of my true identity. Now, I am here to help you do the same because Lady, Divorce is just the beginning!
becoming the woman I am today
Most of us already have an idea of what we could do, would do, might do, etc. We see things on media and through our research about healing and becoming our best self but no one prepares us for what comes up when we try to live it out on our own.
As experienced as I am in supporting others through difficulties, I had to face many yet to be revealed patterns in myself. When I finally went next level honest with myself, I faced my old chestnut, doing things alone because "I am independent!" I faced that one right there by engaging help in the places I most needed it. That is how it began, it was the most liberating thing in my life and blessed me with freedom to be truly connected to myself, to life, to others.
