Summary

Recently in my Facebook Group for women deciding if they should stay or go in their marriage, I asked the members to share their most burning questions about divorce. And I received an overwhelming response. The topics ranged from, "How can I leave my marriage if I have no emotional support and can't support myself financially?" to "What do I do if I don't have the courage to leave him?"

And, every single topic or question had an underlying theme, all relating to doing work on yourself first.

When you are making a decision to leave your marriage, you're making a decision of great love for yourself and for your children. That power needs to carry you through to the other side.

When you do the self-work, you can come from a place of neutrality, process your emotions, and grieve what needs grieving.

You can work hard to bring yourself to a place of calm, peace, and lack of blame or resentment so you can make difficult choices. Without focusing on self-work first, the choices you have to make will be much harder (and trust me, they are hard enough as it is).

In this episode I go over some of the topics the women in my Facebook group mentioned (btw, join us!). Plus, I share how you can become deeply rooted in your own sense of power.

Here are just a few of the topics I touch on in this episode:

Getting rooted into your deepest power and grounded in your confidence
How to start fresh on your own when you've never been on your own before
Knowing you are worthy and you are enough

ROOTED LIVE is coming! If you think you might want out of your marriage, but you can't seem to find the courage to make a decision once and for all, and you're scared you won't have the strength to get through all that comes after you say those four words,"I want a divorce," then ROOTED is 100% for you.

ROOTED is my online coaching program which I will be taking LIVE in February. It's designed to help you FIND YOUR STRENGTH, BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE, AND STEP INTO YOUR POWER. Learn more here.

1:20.1	And there's so many different topics. And I'm going to read you a couple of them.
1:25.3	But what I notice is that there is an underlying theme to almost all of
1:30.0	these. And that's what I'm going to address. I'm going to address the underlying theme because I think

1:56.8	Like, what do people who don't have family or friends nearby or the money to move on do when shit is falling apart?
2:04.4	That actually does not have the same underlying theme as some as the others. So I'm going to answer that a little bit right now. And, you know, the thing is, is that this is that's a real
2:11.1	concern. I mean, this is a very, very real thing. If you cannot, if you literally do not have
2:16.5	the financial resources to have two separate homes, to support yourself If you cannot, if you literally do not have the financial resources to have two
