The decision to get married comes with the belief that this is your partner forever and that’s why divorce hits so hard. It’s not just the end of a relationship; it’s the unraveling of your fairytale that once felt unshakable. 
But the fact of the matter is, no one gets married to get divorced...

And they lived happily ever after. That's the dream, isn't it? You find "the one", settle down and share a life with someone.
But when it ends, you find yourself saying "I failed". Happily ever after only exists in fairytales and Disney movies. Or does it?
Join me for this intro into the world of Make Believe because maybe it does exist, it just doesn't look like how you thought it should.

Why You Should Listen...

Maybe you can relate to this. For as long as I can remember, I have been one of those girls who wanted to be liked, accepted; wanted to please everyone (family, friends, kids, etc) – but never felt satisfied. Why could someone who was such a people pleaser want to please everyone but herself? The answer was never really clear to me until I hit rock bottom at the old age of 40. I was spending so much time trying to make everything perfect for everyone else that I never thought I was important enough to stop and ask myself ‘what is it that you want? What makes YOU happy?’ 

I would listen to friend after friend tell me they were unhappy with their marriage, their jobs, the day-to-day grind that in my head I was saying ‘YES! I totally relate!’ but I was too ashamed and embarrassed to admit it. I didn’t want anyone to know I was secretly feeling the same pain/misery/unhappiness they were feeling. Why did I feel like I had to keep it together all the time? How could someone who seemingly had the “perfect” life be so unhappy?

I started turning my journaling about feelings into songs. And now, I want to share those with you in hopes it helps others who feel the same way as I did know they’re not alone.

Join me as we take a deep dive into these murky waters.  It's not always going to be comfortable, but sometimes being uncomfortable is the best way to grow.
