Linda Kooper on How to Deal with Divorce, Death, and Career Change
Manage episode 374420712 series 3459087
After her kids were born, Linda Kooper left her career as a corporate software developer to focus on raising her kids. But as her kids got older she realized two things.
1. Her kids didn't need her as much so it was time for her to get back into the workforce; and
2. She wanted a divorce.
Her journey through two simultaneous major life transitions wasn't an easy one. Her divorce became contentious and expensive. Then, during the middle of it, her mother died.
In this podcast episode, Linda offers a candid account of how she dealt with all the challenges that life threw at her her way at the same time. She opens up about the lack of guidance she received from her divorce lawyer and the multitude of decisions she had to make in order to get through her divorce.
Amidst the chaos, Linda learned to harness the power of modern technology as well as to rely on her own spirituality to get her through the hardest times. As Linda puts it, she got through her divorce by using prayer, faith, and Google.
If you or someone you know is struggling through a difficult divorce, a major life change, or both, this episode will inspire and uplift you, and help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
