I have been in your shoes; I have been through the hardship of a high conflict divorce involving infidelity and deceit, I have experienced every element of raw emotions and heartache. I have been through endless and overwhelming court hearings and suffered from disproportionate legal fees.
The feeling of trying to hide your sadness by crying quietly in a pillow when your children go to bed, hiding the puffy eyes at the school gate with big sunglasses. It’s not an easy journey and by far the hardest thing I have had to endure in my life, including childbirth!
However, with support from my family and friends and my own coaching skills and strategies, I managed to not just survive, but to thrive. Now working alongside law firms, giving others, in the same position as I was then, the help they need and seeing them going from sorrow and pain to slowly gaining confidence and strength is not just my work, but my passion.
Being brought up in Sweden with parents who allowed and encouraged me to have the freedom of expressing my emotions alongside a liberal upbringing, now gives me a strong foundation to think outside of the box. My love for open communication and directness is very much appreciated by all my clients in our sessions and with my sense of humour, I manage to put them at ease and not to hold back when offloading their emotions.
Being a divorce coach is such a privilege, I am blessed to have done this journey and I can honestly say with hand on heart ,that now, after all these years, I am grateful to my former husband. Not for what he did to me and how he handled it, but I am grateful as it has given me such a new wonderful purpose in life. His actions, which could have flattened me, awoke something within me instead. It gave me strength, ambition and it brought out my “inner viking” spirit back!
The saying of “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger, really is true” and I am now living proof of it.
