The Divorce Chapter

Ah, Christmas. A time for joy, tinsel, turkey… and a little extra emotional chaos if you’re navigating the post-divorce version of Santa Season 🎅

Let me guess:

• The Ghost of Christmas Past is haunting you with memories of matching PJs, burnt turkeys, and that one year your ex bought you a hoover (romance is NOT dead, apparently).
• The Ghost of Christmas Present is waving a to-do list in your face that feels longer than Santa’s nice/naughty list.
• And the Ghost of Christmas Future? Well, let’s just say it’s got you wondering if your future Christmases will involve eating microwave dinners while binge-watching Love Actually.

Sound familiar? Don’t worry… you’re not alone.

This week on The Divorce Chapter, I’m channeling the iconic story of A Christmas Carol to help you navigate the ghosts of your own Christmases 👻

We’re covering:
🎄 How to deal with the bittersweet (or just downright bitter) memories of holidays past (without getting stuck there).
🎄 Finding joy in the chaos of the present... whether that’s new traditions, bad Christmas jumpers, or eating all the Quality Street yourself.
🎄 Reclaiming your future Christmases and designing them the way you want.... tinsel optional.

It’s like Scrooge, but with fewer miserly men and more empowering tips for thriving through the divorce sh*tshow.

And because we’re all about self-care over here, don’t forget this month’s Divorce Book Club pick: The Self-Care Project by Jayne Hardy. It’s perfect for anyone who’s tired of being at the bottom of their own priority list—because let’s face it, YOU deserve to be at the top this Christmas. 🎁 Link below ⬇️

Sending you love, strength, and maybe an extra mince pie,
