Hello
Meet Shauna!
I have been where you are. My divorce was 8 years ago, and it's still a daily process of healing. I want to take what I have learned and help others.
More About Shauna Warden - Divorce Coach
I was exactly where you are eight years ago. I had just had my first baby, I was home alone all of the time taking care of him. I took care of the house, the dogs, the budget, my marriage, and everything in between. Before I knew it my husband wasn’t around as much as I’d like him to be and I was drowning. I had a realization where I decided I needed more from life. When I sat my spouse down to discuss my needs I was blindsided by being told he was no longer interested in this life and that he was leaving.
I am sure you can imagine how scary that was! I had an infant, a house and two dogs to take care of. Did I mention I was also a stay at home mom? Now I needed to figure out how to support myself and my son, and go through the process of dismantling our life we had spent 10 years building. When I tell you I was scared and overwhelmed, I’m sure you can relate! But day by day, piece by piece. I did it. I found a daycare for my son, started job searching, hired an attorney, and began to rebuild my life. It was hard, it was painful, but it was rewarding. Someone dealt me a hand I wasn’t ready for and I found out what I was made of.
All of that is to say I see you. I feel you. You are scared. You are lonely. You are lost.
But what else I know….
YOU CAN DO IT!
