Disclaimer: This episode does not reflect a general rule to what happens in divorce. There are endless scenarios that lead to hundreds and hundreds of decisions when facing such life crisis. Please seek legal and/or medical advice to better guide your choices. In this episode, I explain the 5 things I've learned about my own personal experience with divorce. I go on to share 10 healing breakthroughs that helped me reach a better understanding of my own emotions and thought process. Though I speak in a "advice-giving" tone, please keep in mind that I did not come to terms with all this wisdom until after I had gone through pain, made mistakes of my own and learned the hard way.
