Life After Love – What I Learned From My Marriage Ending

This week, I’m diving into a topic I never thought I’d share so openly: the end of my marriage. It wasn’t one dramatic moment, but a series of realisations, conversations, and life events (oh hi there, COVID!) that led to the decision to part ways. And while it was one of the most difficult times in my life, it was also the beginning of something new - a journey back to myself and a deep friendship with someone I truly value. This outcome has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.

I share:

• Why heartbreak became the biggest catalyst for my personal and professional growth
• The explosion of creativity and business success that followed my separation
• How my ex-husband and I have built a respectful friendship post-marriage
• The books that helped me process grief, resilience, and self-discovery
• Why I no longer believe in the concept of ‘your other half’ and what I embrace instead.

This is a raw, honest conversation about love, loss, and learning to stand fully in your own power. Whether you’re healing from heartbreak, redefining relationships, or simply curious about what happens after love changes form, I hope this episode resonates with you.
