64. My divorce story

Welcome back to Kindful the podcast.

In this episode I open up about my divorce story and the breakdown of my first marriage. This was one of the most challenging things I've ever had to go through and one of the hardest lessons to learn; how to truly listen to my heart.

But it has shaped who I am today and I am grateful for this journey in bringing me closer to my true self.

It has taken me a long time to open up about my divorce in this way, out of respect for my ex husband, but also as a way to allow myself to fully go through and process the experience.

I also felt really judged and ostracised through this experience. Sadly, a lot of people weren't able to understand my reasons for leaving the marriage, and as a result of this, many of them have fallen away. I have learned that divorce is nothing to be ashamed of, and that trying to be someone I'm not comes at much too high a cost.

It has been lonely, isolating and scary, but it has also been the most liberating and loving decision of my life.

I am not a coward. I am a woman who has chosen the path less travelled; to be led by life, love and the beat of her own heart. I am brave.
