Think Wolf in Sheep’s clothing.
Think little man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz.
Think land mine.
Think bully who’s losing control.
Think sabre tooth tiger fighting for its life.
Think fight till the bitter end.

For your ex, the gloves are off, you’re nothing to them other than a financial inconvenience.
They’ll pretend to be reasonable but always ask yourself this:
‘What’s in it for them?’

Because they NEVER EVER do anything and I mean ANYTHING unless there’s ultimately some benefit for them.

They say forewarned is forearmed.
Do your research, educate yourself, learn, prepare.
You don’t want a WAR but your ex will act as if it is.

YOU FOUND OUT.
You found out.
You feel sick to your very core.
You feel your life has ended.
Your whole world is upside down.
You can’t think straight.
You think you’re broken.

You might be:
• Replaying conversations in your head
• Doubting your own memory
• Questioning your worth
• Feeling anxious, angry, numb, heartbroken and every emotion in between.

I see you
I hear you.
I feel you.
This was me just 6years ago.

The affair breaks trust AND shakes your identity, it erodes your sense of safety and shatters your confidence.

You feel so weak, so tired, so worthless but you’re not, it’s your nervous system responding to the hurt, the pain and the betrayal.

I’m hosting a live online workshop (the workshop I wish I had found when I went through all of this 6 years ago).

Recover & Rise:
Rebuilding self-trust and confidence after infidelity.

This is what we’ll explore:
– Betrayal trauma
– Gaslighting & covert narcissism
– Why you doubt yourself now
– How to calm the anxiety and overthinking
– How to begin trusting yourself again

🕒 2.5–3 hours on Zoom 6pm-9pm
📅 Wednesday 11 March
💷 £55

This is a safe, educational space. No pressure to share, just lots of support.

If this feels like I’ve written this especially for you, I have! 🤗

You were brave and courageous to love and be vulnerable….that’s powerful. Don’t let their behaviour dim your courage. Keep being you, keep being courageous and open to love…to be all in…to say to yourself and others “I love you.”
Love is the highest vibration and it shines through everything ❤️✨💫

❤️Are you a caring parent worried about your child’s ability to make friends?
❤️Do you worry they’re getting into the ‘wrong crowd’?
❤️Are they kind and lovely yet susceptible to being bullied and manipulated?
❤️Are you worried they’re being left out of social circles and events?

This 1 hour workshop is designed to help you support your struggling child to learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy friendships, calm their emotions and nurture self confidence and inner self belief.

We will:
⭐️ Find out why some children struggle with Friendships
⭐️ Discover how Anxiety impacts Self Confidence
⭐️ Learn strategies to help build your child’s emotional resilience
⭐️ Gain practical evidence-based tools you can put in your toolkit tonight and start using tomorrow to support your child from now on.

Research shows that when parents become their children’s cheerleaders & coaches (instead of rescuers & fixers), confidence, resilience and self belief often grows with positive results that continue to grow.

Join me, this evening, for this Pay What You Can event - payment details will be shared this evening.

Bring a brew, your comfy clothes (pj’s allowed), paper and a pen (to jot notes - don’t worry, there’s no work or break out rooms to deal with!!) It’s super chilled and relaxed 🤗

Looking forward to seeing you this evening,
With love, Andrea x

Online and in person workshops on how to get through this storm and enjoy the sunshine again ☀️ are coming soon 🤗💫❤️ Follow me & make sure you get your spot…YOU matter, YOUR LIFE matters, YOU have a life to LIVE 🤗

Divorcing someone who has narcissistic tendencies is a completely different experience…

You go into it thinking “we’ll sort it out fairly, amicably and like grown ups.”

Even though you’re hurting and you’d love to scr@w him for every penny, you realise that’s really not the way to do things.

You rise above these hurt feelings, you let them come and go and you tune into your intuition which just wants a fair, peaceful outcome.

However, when you quickly realise you’ve been married to a narcissist, you realise once you step out of their ‘gang’, the gloves are off, all rules of engagement are out of the window, you’re constantly on shifting sands, they’ll drip feed you a few bank statements at a time with one’s missing where you know big transactions have happened, they’ll transfer assets out of their name and into the business, they’ll conveniently ‘forget’ about the several other pensions you know they have….and it goes on and on and on.

They know full well that every solicitor correspondence that’s chasing up their missing paperwork is costing you money….(they have money to pay for their solicitor) but you can’t actually afford to divorce them.

You don’t get legal aid so you borrow off friends, family and use credit cards just to pay for their privilege of divorcing them…and it’s exhausting…and your heart is aching…and your nervous system is shot at…and you may be going through the menopause and you may be looking after children…and you may be trying to hold down a job…and you may have elderly, ill parents to look after…and you may be depressed…and you may be feeling like life is very, very hard and you can’t see how it will ever get better.

Please DM, follow me, hear me when I say….it WILL & DOES get so much better and if I can survive this and go on to enjoy my wonderful life now, I know you can too.

This is the Workshop I wish I’d had when I felt life had thrown me off a cliff 6 years ago….

I was in free fall after discovering by sheer chance that my husband of 24 years, the man I had called my soul mate had been having several affairs.

I needed help, I needed answers, I needed someone to show me how the h*ll to get through this.

Practically, I had no clue about divorce.
I had no clue about our finances (because he sorted everything).

Physically, I couldn’t stop shaking, I couldn’t eat and I drank more wine than was normal. I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t want to get up in a morning.

Emotionally, forget rollercoaster, 🎢 I was in one almighty dip with no clue how to get out of it.

Mentally, I was in a dark, dark place and I just felt my life had ended, I couldn’t think straight and my thoughts were constantly spiralling.

That was 6 years ago and what a journey of healing, learning and growing it’s been since then.
I’ve deep friendships - new and old, I’ve let go of people, I’ve started my own business, I’ve spent time on my own getting to know me and I love who I am plus I’ve a healthy romantic relationship with an emotionally intelligent man.

I’m happier now than EVER before.
I love life and I’m so grateful for those who showed up for me when I was feeling so weak and lost.

I’ve put this Workshop together for you if you’re going through something similar.

This is not an ‘ex bashing exercise’
This is an acknowledgment of what’s happened, a warm hug wherever you are at, a gentle hand to hold and steady yourself and a strong belief in what your life can be in the future.

Date, Time & Details coming next week
🤗❤️💪🏻

You file for divorce because you’re done, you’ve got nothing left to give, you’re running on empty and have been for a long time, you’re finally admitting to yourself that Enough is Enough.

It’s then you realise this isn’t going to be a straight forward divorce….. Oh no no no!

This is going to be a complete farce!

Nothing will be simple
Nothing will get sorted any time soon
He will deploy all the avoidance, manipulation and control tactics possible.
You’ll be kept waiting for bank statements, pension details, assets, he’ll transfer everything out of his name and into his businesses name so he doesn’t’own’ anything etc.

The man you once loved and you thought loved you has vanished in thin air and you’re now dealing with a bully who’s really annoyed you’ve dared to leave his gang.

When you stand up for yourself, push back, use your voice, he’s likely to throw his toys out of the pram, have a complete hissy fit and explode at you.

So, even though it’s hard because you deserve justice, please move quietly, do what you have to do silently and protect your heart.
