I learned this first hand… through the breakup of my first marriage and in the turbulent early days of my second.

When I was married to Steve, my first husband… I waffled on leaving the relationship for years.

Even though I knew he was gay. Even though I knew it was the best thing for me and my daughter. And even despite the deep love we had for each other.

Eventually, I did leave, after years of self-doubt.

And after my divorce I met Matt, my current husband. Although the beginning of our relationship wasn’t going as planned. We were in conflict, and the tension in our home was off the chart. Something had to give.

This time, I trusted my gut and decided to leave that situation… and then, I came back but put myself first this time.

I established boundaries and committed to them. And discovered my superpower to help other women make the next best decisions for themselves.
