In part two of this chat with Penny Brereton, we talk about what happens after you're divorced. Once the dust has settled from the court battles to the divorce admin... what do you do next?

We cover a lot of ground around healing - including shedding the persona you have to create to protect yourself through the process - finding your purpose (including failing and having to move away from what you thought was your identity), and of course... dating!

To listen to the first part of this podcast, where we talk about surviving divorce and radical honesty

Penny's Book for Children and Teens: ‘Create your own happy’, and ‘Be happy, be you’

Today I am joined by Penny Brereton, a long time blogging friend whom I reconnected with during my divorce because she was having almost exactly the same kind of experience at almost exactly the same time. We were even doing many of the same healing techniques.

It's been a long time coming, but I'm thrilled to welcome Penny onto the podcast today, as she is ready to share her experience and how she supported her children through her divorce using radical honesty.

I loved this chat so much, we made it a two-parter! This episode is about surviving and healing from the divorce... next week's episode is about moving on and how to embrace the next chapter after divorce and heartbreak.
