If you are reading this, chances are you are also at some point in your divorce journey. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for choosing me to walk with you on your journey. Divorce is hard. No matter how amicable. I hope this book makes you feel less alone. I hope it enables you to view the path that has led you to where you are now with kind eyes and explores your future opportunities with excitement. The Divorcee Dish is a memoir about my journey through divorce that includes tips and tricks and a series of journaling opportunities to aid you along your path. You are invited to join our community on social media to connect with the other divorcees in our community and me. The potential for building a strong community of divorcees is significant, with 50% of marriages ending in divorce in the United States. Since it affects so many of us, why are there so few support systems? I hope to end the stigma and isolation that generations of societal shaming and guilt have left us wallowing in.
There is life after divorce. There is a big, beautiful life out there just waiting for you. Challenge yourself to find and create it. Push yourself to create a new routine for yourself that brings you joy. You deserve it. We are all in this together. Join us at divorceedish.com
