Did you know that 33% of Australian marriages are expected to end in divorce? That’s a sobering thought and having been there over 30 years ago, I know from personal experience the stress and major changes that divorce or separation brings.
In this episode of the Women Living Well After 50 Podcast, my guest is Kathy Marris from 50 shades of Age. Kathy has recent experience of her own marriage breakdown and bravely shares her story as well as providing tips on surviving and looking forward to a new chapter of life.
During the interview we discussed:
Kathy’s experience
Some of the main causes of a marriage breakdown
The Empty Shell Marriage – what it means
Overcoming the emotions such as fear, failure, guilt and embarrassment
Practical tips on surviving this traumatic event
