Cherie's Journey Through Unexpected Separation: How to Survive & Thrive
After wanting an amicable divorce from her coercive controlling ex-husband, Cherie discovers that her only option to protect her and her daughter requires her to summon her inner strength, resilience and perseverance.
"Take a deep breath, slow down, do the research and find the right person to fit your situation - there are plenty of options out there!"
Cherie is a woman who experienced a sudden separation from her husband of 14 years and is navigating the challenges of coparenting and financial settlement. She is a strong advocate for taking time to research and find the right resources for a successful separation.
She had trusted her husband with full control of their finances, not realising it was a red flag. When she realised the situation she was in financially, she panicked and went into finding a lawyer instead of taking her time. With the help of her village, she set strong boundaries and took care of herself with small tasks like a walk around the block or a five minute meditation. Taking her time and listening to the advice she found, Cherie was finally able to be strong and make it work for her daughter.
In this episode, Nikki and Cherie discuss:
1. Managing Coercive Control in a Marriage Breakdown
2. Practical Tips for Navigating a Difficult Separation
3. Overcoming Emotional Challenges During Divorce.

Lucy Bloom's Divorce: Redefining Failure & Finding Freedom
After making the "failure" of getting married young to the wrong man, Lucy Bloom finds empowerment in her divorce, ditches society's judgement, and discovers the joys of living near the beach, as she learns to make decisions based on what she wants.
Lucy Bloom is an author, speaker and writer who openly talks about her divorce and how it was not a failure. She has since embraced the opportunity to write her own next chapter, and encourages others to do the same.
After twenty years of marriage, her husband left her for another woman, taking the decision to separate out of her hands. Rather than letting it be a failure, she saw it as an opportunity for growth - to make decisions that would make her happy. She moved to the beach, surrounded herself with supportive friends, and prioritised her children. After eight years of navigating the pain of divorce, Lucy has learned that it is her race to run and that society's expectations should not dictate her decisions. She is now living a life of freedom and joy near the ocean.
In this episode Nikki and Lucy chat -
1. How Divorce Can Lead to Empowerment and Growth: exploring the idea that divorce can be a liberating experience, and how to take the steps to ensure it is a successful transition.
2. The Benefits of Prioritising and Re-Evaluating Relationships: examining how to take a step back and re-evaluate relationships, and the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people.
3. The Power of Self-Care in Difficult Times: discovering how self-care can help in navigating the hardships of divorce, and how to make it a priority.
