054: What I Wish I Knew About Divorce

No one gets married with the plan to get a divorce. Unfortunately, based on statistics, at least 50% of us will experience a divorce. When I asked for a divorce I didn’t think it through. I did not think about the financial impact it would have on me. I didn’t think about the emotional toll it would have on my overall well being I didn’t think about how it would hurt my children. I didn’t think about the generational curse I continued with my family. I didn’t even think of all of the years and time I had fought for us to be together. I did not think about the love, time and energy I had invested I did not think about all the hopes and dreams I had for us I just wanted the pain to end and getting out seemed to be the only answer. Looking back I wish I knew what to expect and what I would feel. I wish I knew that it was okay not to be okay I wish I knew it was okay to get support I wish I knew it was helpful to talk to people who have blazed the trail before me To be honest I was gravely under-prepared for what life had in store me after it was over. In today’s episode I share the top 5 lessons I learned and what I wish I knew ahead of time.
