This week we talked about those times when the toxicity of our former lives blindsides us and triggers anxiety or fear. Listen as Lauren describes how she uses her theater training to step outside of her triggered moments to identify what is happening and see it for what it is so she can let it go. Beth has learned to do the same! Welcome to the porch for Champagne Sunday.

When we started over after divorce - or one of the many times we felt we weren't making in progress in the starting over process - we took a personal inventory of our strengths and weaknesses. Knowing who you are and how to play to your strengths and make your weaknesses work for you instead of against you is huge in creating success sooner rather than later. Join us on the porch this week and then let us know over on Spotify how you have turned one of your weaknesses into a positive in your life!

Now is the time to make your list of the things most important to you in a new partner. Now, when you aren't in a relationship. Your non-negotiables will be easier to define if you aren't with someone who may already be a compromise on them, right? What did you learn from your marriage? From past relationships? They have all served as lessons in what you do and don't want in a forever partner. Have a listen to us as we discuss what we want in a future partner.
Meet the Champagne Sunday Girls
Lauren, Beth, and Bonnie are neighbors in a lovely little historic neighborhood. They are all at different stages of life, divorce aftermath, careers, and motherhood. Each Sunday evening they gather on one of their lovely porches to chat about life, love, and their artistic passions. They are big on talking about those things that they have found difficult on the other side of divorce – those things you just don’t expect, those things that only other women who have been there can understand. So, grab your girlfriends and a bottle of Champagne and join us on the porch each Champagne Sunday!
