Beyond The D Word

An interview with A Girls Guide to Divorce... a Brits Guide to Divorce

I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by A Girls Guide to Divorce where I shared my story in an episode called A Brit's Guide To Divorce.  In the episode we discuss my experience of infidelity and the differences between divorce in the UK and in the USA. Originally posted on their YouTube Channel I thought I'd upload it here.

Illness is an indicator your emotional state

So the title of this podcast may seem a little dramatic but it seemed the most fitting. Have you ever read the Heal Your Life book by Louise Hay? If you haven’t then it’s one I’d recommend. Her view was that illness however mild or severe is an indicator of your emotional state, caused by your thoughts and focus. Well today I find myself being reminded of this as I’ve woke up with a stinking cold!! Your body always tells you something.. and it will come up and slap you in the face if you don’t listen. According to Louise Hay Colds are a sign that you have too much going on at once, which is certainly a sign for me!!

What does Mindfulness mean to you?

So on this lovely sunny day I decided to take a talk to the shop to a) move away from my desk but b) move my body and get some fresh air.  Like many of us I was running through things in my head about what needed doing when suddenly I looked up and saw an plane flying overhead leaving behind it that lovely cloud trail they leave, and I suddenly realised that I was transfixed in that moment. Which lead to me think about 'Mindfulness' This is one of my 'voice journals' where I'll share what I thought in that moment.  No structure, no professional studio just me and my thoughts which come from being on the journey that I am on. You can follow me on Instagram at Beyond The D Word https://www.instagram.com/beyondthedword/ as I share my truth through my experience.

Moving Beyond The D Word - a new intro

So I’m starting again!!! Yes back in 2021 I started this podcast as The D Word where I planned to talk about my divorce experience, but I quickly realised it wasn’t really doing me any favours and hit a brick wall. So after some intense therapy, a lot of soul searching and basically time and space I have now moved Beyond The D Word!! Yes it was a traumatic event which certainly changed and shaped my life but it was also the start of a wonderful new chapter and journey to where I am today…. And who is that? Someone who is feeling happy, grateful and full of joy for my life so I want to use this platform to share my views as a bit of a voice journal (so to speak) and this episode is the start of that… no professional studio or planning just my thoughts from the heart of topics I’m inspired to talk about. Come with me on this journey

Interview with A Girls Guide to Divorce - this time we talk recovering and healing after divorce

I was lucky enough to be invited back for another interview with A Girls Guide to Divorce where we discuss recovering and healing after divorce.  I share what my experience of therapy (or counselling as we call it here in the UK) along with what other therapies I explored to help me with my healing post divorce. I had so much fun on this interview, and as ever share tips to anyone going through a divorce. Originally posted on their YouTube Channel I thought I'd upload it here.
