Divorce Day: A Celebration of Survival, Self-Love, and Second Chances
Today is a very special, yet peculiar, kind of day. Honestly, I still don’t quite know how to handle it, even now. It marks the end of one life, and the beginning of another. It’s Saturday, 18th October 2025… and I’m celebrating two years of being divorced.
Yes, you read that right, I’m celebrating.
Now, before you picture me dancing around a bonfire in a wedding dress, à la some Netflix drama, let me explain.
While society loves to throw parties for milestones like sobriety anniversaries, promotions, engagements, or baby showers, there’s a strange silence around celebrating divorce. Especially the kind where you finally start to find yourself again after the storm.
Weddings have anniversaries, so why can’t divorces?
Year Two Feels Different
Last year, I marked my divorce-versary by jumping out of a plane. (Because nothing says, “I’m back, baby!” like hurtling towards the Earth at 120mph). I also raised money for an incredible charity called Phoenix, who support people battling addiction and slipping through society’s cracks.
This year? It’s quieter. Slower. Deeper. No skydiving, just soul diving.
Today, I’m celebrating by committing to something that feels just as brave: starting this blog. One post, every month. This is my promise to myself and to you that I’m showing up. To share, support, and serve in this wild, messy, beautiful space we call the healing journey.
From “What I Do” to “What You Get”
Let’s be real, the wellness and coaching world is packed. From breathwork to moon circles to coaches for everything under the sun. It’s easy to get lost in the noise.
So I’m shifting my focus. Not just on what I do, but on what you get.
Because when we work together, it’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about helping you feel emotionally steady when everything else feels upside-down. Whether you’re just thinking about leaving, knee-deep in paperwork, or years down the line and still struggling to feel whole again I’m here.
Together, we move from:
- Stuck → Strong
- Chaos → Clarity
- Emotional Drain → Calm, Centred, and Clear
I’ve poured my heart into creating a website that reflects this shift. It’s not just a digital business card; It’s a safe space to explore what’s possible when you choose yourself again.
A Love Letter to Anyone Going Through It
If you’re reading this and you’re in the thick of it, confused, scared, second-guessing every decision, please know I’ve been there. I am there some days. And I know how lonely it can feel.
But hear me when I say this:
It’s OK to celebrate the end of a relationship.
It’s OK to grieve it and still feel relief.
It’s OK to outgrow a version of yourself that once settled for less.
You are not broken. You are rebuilding.
Had it not happened, you wouldn’t be standing where you are now, stronger, wiser, more you than ever.
So, celebrate. Honour it. Whether with a blog, a skydive, a dance in your kitchen, or simply a deep breath and a cup of tea. You survived something that tried to shatter you.
And now… you get to begin again.
Big Love
