The Independent Womxn Experience Series: Finding Healing When Your World Falls Apart Ep.6

Jan 27

Description: How do you raise two children and heal as a single mom when it feels like your world has fallen apart? That’s where Ashley Adams found herself at 31, recently divorced from a struggling alcoholic and feeling alone. She tells us how she wrote her book, The Other Side of the Door, for other women who’ve found themselves in the same position so they know they’re not alone. Through the support of community, self-care, and writing this book, Ashley found healing and eventually new love. As Ashley shows us, you are strong enough to make it through the hard times.

Lessons from Ashley:

Take a step back in your relationship and pay attention to the red flags you might brush off: they matter in the long run.
When it’s time to leave, getting a divorce can be freeing after years of trying to keep a relationship together.
One of the benefits of aging: knowing what you want! Trust yourself.
Writing and journaling helps process the craziness of life. Find something that helps you, too.
Ashley found help and community in DivorceCare. If you need support, communities like DivorceCare can be therapeutic and give practical help as you navigate a tough situation.
Finally, you are strong, and you will make the right decision for you and your family. No matter the situation, it is never too late, and you can do so much more than you think you can.
