I realised things needed to change, we had counselling, we tried - but we were too far gone & somehow I knew it was the right thing not to stay together for the sake of it.

I knew many people would see it as a failure - but honestly I did not. I was ready to find myself - I had been lost for so long. I realised the women I admired were strong independent women - they had got divorced, got new partners and were living the life they choose - not the one that society wanted.

I didn't know exactly what I wanted - but I knew I wanted my kids to be proud of me, I knew I wanted to be truly loved by a new man - I knew I wanted freedom to live my life how I wanted too.

Slowly, but surely I moved forward - I read many many self help books, I did on line courses - I slowly stepped into my new self.

I had to work on my mindset, I had to take risks, I worked on my confidence and my self belief, there were moments I felt ill with nerves, but I leaned in - its been a personal journey over years. I wish I had invested in a coach - but honestly - at the time - I didn't believe I myself was worth that investment. -

I found an amazing partner, who supports me & also also allows me to have the autonomy I desired. I set up my first business - in property, then I set up my second business in tennis & then my third business in Coaching people like my self who are ready to make that next step into the next chapter of life. So now I run 3 successful business' , I have hundreds of clients, I work my own hours & no one tells me what to do. I run my life how I choose.
