Want to find yourself again after divorce? Go Here: https://thedivorcerehab.com/finding-yourself-after-divorce Going back to the dating scene was terrifying for author Laura Williams. After a sudden divorce from a 27-year marriage, she had two paths: completely retreat for protection OR find something interesting with the risk of rejection. Being unhappy wasn't a choice. She says, “When I hear people are scared to get out there, I think, ‘Isn't it scarier to stay where you are?'” You, too, can make the same decision. Are you ready? Tune in to this episode on Dating In Your Midlife After Divorce with Laura Williams. Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️You need external feedback, not validation. Dating different people can help you know more about your strengths and weaknesses. We are our own worst critics of our bodies. But what we dislike is actually attractive in another's eyes. ✔️Sex is self-expression, not an act of service. You have the choice to partake in the experiences and be involved with the people you want. Take the shame away from enjoying sex without commitment. Reclaim your power.  ✔️Have space for your children's feelings.  Their reactions to your dating escapades may be celebrating with you or having difficulties processing the change. Validate their internal struggles. Get into honest conversations with them. ✔️Being a loyal mother is an asset. Some men find a woman's dedication and loyalty to her children attractive. If he doesn't like it when you drop dates to be with your kids, he's not the one. Men who want to be with you DO exist! ✔️Be honest with what you've lost, and embrace what you've gained. Divorce and dating don't make you less of a mother. It actually makes you more of it! Your kids want more quality time, heart-to-heart talks, and meaningful experiences.   ✔️Be in it to find it. Dating post-divorce is like jumping into cold water. The only way to do it is to actually do it! You CAN have a supportive and loving partner. You CAN have a fulfilling relationship on your own terms. Trust the process. Laura Friedman Williams is a native New Yorker whose writing credits consist of countless PTA newsletters, program notes for talent shows and school auctions, and ghostwritten bar mitzvah speeches for many of her friends. Her wit and wisdom have not yet made it to a larger audience, but her years spent raising children and running events at her children's schools have kept her writing steady and sharp. She credits her degree in English from Washington University and the ten formative years she spent in book publishing – first in Subsidiary Rights at Warner Books (now Grand Central Publishing) and then at Henry Holt & Company, then as a book scout and finally as a literary agent – for giving her a deep love and respect for the written word. She credits the break-up of her marriage for finally giving her the subject matter about which she both needed and wanted to write. She lives in downtown Manhattan with her three children. ______________________________________________________________ Connect with Wendy Sterling: Website: https://wendysterling.net/ Instagram: @divorcerehabwithwendy Twitter: @thedivorcerehab Facebook: @wendytsterling  Need an opportunity to share your pain points and receive judgment-free support?

Our guest today has spent years in the publishing business, but it was only when her marriage broke up that she found the inspiration to write a book of her own. Available: A Memoir of Sex & Dating After a Marriage Ends, is a no-holds-barred look at post-divorce rehabilitation and the experiences of a woman on a journey of invention. “Don't judge me,” says author Laura Friedman Williams. And that's one of the central messages in the book. It's hard to re-engage, to re-ignite after a broken heart. And as much as this book is also a book about re-igniting a broken libido, it's also very much a book about discovering who you are after you figure out the superficial sex stuff. This isn't a book about sexual reinvention. It's a book about unlocking many, many new doors after sexual rediscovery. We hope this conversation piques your interest enough to explore it on your own. You can find it wherever you buy your books. In the mean time, you can follow her writing on Medium, follow her on Twitter and Instagram, or connect with her on LinkedIn.

You loved Laura Friedman Williams when she first joined us in June 2021 to celebrate the launch of her first book "Available: A Memoir of Sex and Dating After A Marriage Ends" and so many listeners found comfort and hope in her candid recount of her journey to finding her inner woman again after her long-term marriage ended with her husband's affair. Well she's back and better than ever althought the last year has had some highs and lows as she has navigated the finalization of her divorce, the moving out of the marital home and the purchase and renovation of her very own new home.  In her unique and special way, Laura shares an update on her personal journey that is, as always, deeply personal and revealing.  You will find much to relate to, laugh about and cry too as we catch up with Laura today as the book officially launches in the United States.  Tune in and find out why after all she has been through, Laura says she feels today "that anything is possible."

Author of the memoir Available: A Memoir of Sex & Dating After a Marriage Ends, Laura Friedman Williams opens up about the loneliness of a stay-at-home mother, what her marriage—and life—looked like when she measured it by being happy enough, what it means to no longer be playing the supporting character in her own life, and the sexual liberation following her divorce that set her on a path of self-expression, self-enhancement, and self-sufficiency.——Laura Friedman WilliamsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurafriedmanwilliamsTwitter: https://twitter.com/laurafwinnycFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/laura.f.williams.90Available: A Memoir of Sex & Dating After a Marriage Ends via AmazonChelsea Leigh TrescottWebsite: www.breakupward.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakEmail: Chelsea@breakupward.comHuffPo Advice Column: Advice Column

In this episode, I share an everyday burnout conversation with Laura Friedman Williams.Laura Friedman Williams is a native New Yorker and author of the recently published book Available: A Memoir of Sex and Dating After a Marriage Ends.  Laura was a happily married, stay-at-home, self-declared PTA mum of three children, and for nearly three decades, she was living every inch of the life she had planned for. Then one day, she discovered her husband was having an affair and found herself single after 27 years, setting her on a new path of self-discovery. Her brilliant debut book shares her fabulous and unapologetic story of sex and dating after divorce. It's my favourite kind of memoir writing as Laura shares her funny, honest, and moving account of her sexual reinvention. Expect to have many laughs and then tears as Available explores the various roles we take on through the course of our lives and how they come to define us. Laura has been featured in The Financial Times, Cosmopolitan UK, Vogue UK, and The Daily Mail to name a few.

Our guest today has spent years in the publishing business, but it was only when her marriage broke up that she found the inspiration to write a book of her own. Available: A Memoir of Sex & Dating After a Marriage Ends, is a no-holds-barred look at post-divorce rehabilitation and the experiences of a woman on a journey of invention. “Don't judge me,” says author Laura Friedman Williams. And that's one of the central messages in the book. It's hard to re-engage, to re-ignite after a broken heart. And as much as this book is also a book about re-igniting a broken libido, it's also very much a book about discovering who you are after you figure out the superficial sex stuff. This isn't a book about sexual reinvention. It's a book about unlocking many, many new doors after sexual rediscovery. We hope this conversation piques your interest enough to explore it on your own. You can find it wherever you buy your books. In the mean time, you can follow her writing on Medium, follow her on Twitter and Instagram, or connect with her on LinkedIn.

What does one do to overcome the loneliness and grief of an unexpected divorce?  In the case of Laura Friedman Williams,  have SEX!  This episode covers the other element of Laura's book, "Available: A Memoir of Sex and Dating After a Marriage Ends," and it's an honest, brave and salacious look at midlife dating and  new sex.  Laura covers it all-- from grooming, to foreplay to the actual act, and it answers ALL the questions one might have about dating and sexual encounters as a single 10 times 5.   There is absolutely nothing that Laura won't discuss, and it's not for the prude.  If it makes Lo at a loss for words...you know it's good!

For 27 years Laura Friedman Williams thought she was living out her happy ending. She'd been in a loving relationship with her husband for nearly three decades and had three beautiful kids as a result. It was everything she had planned for. Then one day she learned of her husband's affair and it not only rocked her world but also set her off on a course of self discovery. While she had always loved the life she had, Laura found there was more than one way to create a new happiness for herself. And it just so happened to involve a lot of sex. Because there's no single outcome that gives your life meaning. We all have a choice. And Laura isn't apologizing for hers.  Links: IG: @laurabbehnke@thelifeactuallypodcastWebsite: laurabehnke.comDating, Actually: The Anti-Dating-Guide Dating Guide  Guest Links:IG: @laurafriedmanwilliams The Book: Available: A Memoir of Sex And Dating After A Marriage Ends
