In this episode, guest host Marnie shares her story of how she navigated her separation and divorce. From identifying her own mental health issues during her second pregnancy, Marnie set out to understand herself and her marriage resulting in the decision to separate. She was determined that her separation and divorce would not affect the mental health of their two little girls and after a few years, she is ready to tell her story.
Marnie demonstrates that by putting the children's wellbeing first, she was able to make clearer decisions on how she was going to co-parent with their father and step back from the need to control the whole situation.
She also talks about the importance of reaching out and surrounding yourself with your community. Lisa and Marnie discuss the importance of letting teachers know when their children are going through major changes at home and building a team around the kids.
Marnie also talks about the impact that being a divorcee has on friendships and how she used Yoga and self-love to become the best mother that she could be.
