EP 17 - Having The Courage To Move On After Divorce - with Stacey Wallis Hard Beautiful Journey - Vulnerable Conversations about Grief, Trauma, Addictions and Mental Health

I am so thrilled to have my childhood friend Stacey on today's episode to talk about her Hard Beautiful Journey. 
 
Stacey shared with me - "I have come so far since the fateful day I learned my husband was having an affair.  This was what I call a course correction in life but it was the hardest journey to take.  From 5 stages of grief, suicidal, doing all I could to move forward and really think about what I want for my life, but not just survive and pay the bills. Learning Moms in divorce are not seen the same in so many ways, learning that chasing your dreams in the eyes of some would be seen as selfish, learning about dating, going out again, Tinder and having to get a “real job” after 12 years of being a stay at home mom and self employed, learning that joy really does attract joy!  I learned that the more I shared and the more I moved forward with my dream, the more I attracted people into my life that became part of my new life and dealing with the grief of losing dreams I once had, a home I loved, and friends who really were not going to come along with me on the next chapter. The biggest success was coming to terms with what happened and moving forward with my ex-husband so that our girls would be not just ok but full of love and safety and opportunities ..... it’s an amazing journey".
 
I am honoured that Stacey shared her Hard Beautiful Journey with me and all of you - know that if you have the courage, you can have anything that you put your mind to.
