How to Navigate a Divorce and Grow Stronger

Ten years ago, I was going through a very tough divorce. My marriage of only five years was over, and I felt devastated as if I had failed and was letting down my then three-year-old son.

Back then, I craved normalcy and peace more than anything else. However, it wouldn’t be another four years before the long divorce trial and emotional roller coaster slowed down.

During those years, I was working full-time, commuting almost four hours a day, caring for my son, and grappling to hold it all together in my life. To make things more stressful, I spent those four years living under the same roof as my ex-husband until the court decided our destiny and place to live.

The truth is that back then I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Regardless of the emotional upheaval, I knew I was doing the right thing. Though, not a day went by when I didn’t feel mixed emotions about the past, the present, and our future.

In this Week's Featured Article, I'm being vulnerable and fearlessly sharing with you what I did to get through my divorce. I intend that you take away any insights possible to help you deal with the situation that may be holding you back. 

These are some of the most meaningful actions I took that helped me navigate this difficult life transition and supported me as a leader.

You see my dear friend, from my personal experiences, I've noticed that it's all connected. When we're flailing in one area, as I was, it impacts the others.

As leaders, let's do whatever we can to support each other so we can focus on the task at hand--and spend our energy on the activities that will move the needle in our business and our happiness.

In the meantime, be fearless! (act despite the fear)

With love and appreciation,
