What if divorce can lead to healing through supporting a deeper connection with oneself?

In this episode, my Dad, Robert, and I have an intentional conversation about breakups, separation, and divorce – and, specifically, what he learned through his divorce journey which began in the Fall of 2019.

We also, and perhaps most importantly, discuss what it means to take responsibility for your part, forgive yourself, and – how the end of a relationship doesn't have to be seen as a failure. Sometimes it's the beginning of something much more aligned.

Key Takeaways:

• Divorce is real grief and needs to be met with presence, compassion, and intentional inquiry.
• Sitting with sadness and grief is how we heal.
• Taking the time to understand our part i.e. owning why we chose that person, supports us in healing, and in making different choices in the future.
• Every relationship has its own curriculum, and the teacher-student dynamic is present in each relationship.
