The Divorce Chapter

Send us a text

In honour of World Mental Health Day on 10 October 2024 and the theme of:

“It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace”

In this week’s episode, we’re looking at a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: how divorce can impact your work and career.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re expected to just "keep going" at work while dealing with the emotional shitshow of a breakup, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I talk about:

👩‍💼Why divorce grief should NOT be so absent from compassionate leave policies

👩‍💼How to manage your mental health during and after divorce while still holding down a job

👩‍💼The long-term effects divorce can have on your career—and how to overcome them

👩‍💼How divorce can actually be a catalyst for career reinvention too
We all know that divorce is tough enough on its own without the added pressure of having to show up and perform at work as if everything is fine.

I share my personal experience and some practical tips on how to cope with the emotional fallout of divorce, especially when you’re expected to “push through” at work.

If you’ve ever wondered how to set boundaries, ask for support, or use this life-changing event as an opportunity for professional growth, this episode is for you!

I’d love to hear what you think….. If you find the episode helpful, it would mean the world to me if you left a review or shared it with someone who might need it. 💖

Take care of yourself, and remember—your mental health comes first.

And whilst we’re all about becoming even more badass…. We’ve started October’s book over in the Divorce Book Club.

How to Feel Better: 4 Steps to Self-Coach your way to a Happier, more Authentic Life, by Ruth Kudzi.
