I think that the book is really a how-to for divorce, and what shocked me more than anything was whenever I went to the bookstore to buy books for myself when I was first separated- was the lack of resources.
Ever feel like divorce is a never-ending marathon? You're not alone. In this episode of the Breakup Recovery Podcast, Barbara Stevens chats with Jill Sockwell, co-author of 'The Optimist’s Guide to Divorce'. Jill opens up about her own divorce journey and how she and her co-author, Suzanne Riss, couldn't find the uplifting and realistic advice they needed. So, they decided to write their own guidebook to help others navigate this tough path.
Jill describes divorce as a marathon, not a sprint, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. She believes that while it's easy to get bogged down by negativity, focusing on the bright side can make the process more manageable. To combat the isolation that often comes with divorce, Jill and Suzanne founded the Maplewood Divorce Club in 2013. This community offers a space for women to support each other through the ups and downs of divorce.
Jill shares practical tips for staying positive, such as celebrating small victories and surrounding yourself with supportive people. If you're in the midst of a divorce or know someone who is, this episode is packed with insights and encouragement to help you find hope and strength during this challenging time.
