Wife to Warrior: It’s time to reignite that inner flame!

I support women going through divorce learn to redefine and rediscover the beauty of their lives. After coming out of a 12-year marriage with a young child, I was lost and didn’t know how to even begin my new journey.

I realize now what I am here to do. I was once a wife, but now I am a Warrior blazing a trail for all women to embrace that fire in their belly. Too often, our inner spirit is squelched because it is so strong. We, as women, believe we are not strong enough to move forward on our own, raise our Littles, and create our own life. It’s not that we aren’t strong enough, it’s that we are so much stronger than we can even imagine.

I had to take the time to rediscover who I was again and trust my way. It is never easy to walk through fire, but you pull your strength from your core: for yourself, for your child, for a better way. I won’t lie. It’s been a f&*king rollercoaster after I got divorced. You will get knocked down. You will want to cry “uncle” and give up because you just don’t know how much more you can handle. Just when you get your balance again and you will be hit out of left field, flattened on you’re a$$ again. Is it worth it, in the end, to have to go through all this? Absolutely! You didn’t get out of a dysfunctional marriage just to give up?

Now, you are a warrior, blazing strong and ready to forge your own way.

You stood up and realized your inner fire was smoldering and on the brink of going out. It’s not that you are a fighter, but a protector. How come I am all fired up about this? I was quiet for so long and now it’s my turn to speak for those who are not yet ready to speak. There is wisdom in words. It’s time to spread this wisdom, rise, and ignite the world with this fiery love that we have now regained for a better life for us and our children. I am not a wife anymore.

I am a warrior on a mission to help women reignite their inner flame and find their strength again. Who’s with me?
