Welcome to today’s podcast which is DRUMROLLLLLL another divorce diaries episode!
It's been a long time since I have shared anything about my separation. We have been separated for about two and a half years and by and large, it has definitely been one of the hardest experiences from an emotional perspective.
But you know, I feel like on the whole we have navigated things incredibly positively. And at the same time, still, two and a half years later, there are still many, many firsts that we are going through.
And of late, I have found some of these firsts really triggering and it has brought up so many challenging feelings for me to navigate.
And you know me, every day’s a school day!
So, tune in to this episode to find out what solo parent pool party learnings I have for you.
I would be utterly delighted and grateful beyond words if you would (if you’re not already)
Please tag me, @suzy_ashworth, when you post on social media so I can share in the love.
Highlights
05:19 What I was doing was hosting a swimming pool party, and I decided that I didn't need any help. Well, I wanted some help. And then I decided I didn't want any help, but cut my nose off to spite my face, block myself from receiving. That's it, I'm fine, I can do it. And it was really interesting, because I heard myself like, in the moment, I was able to witness myself blocking myself from any receiving. And in the moment, I was able to have the awareness but not stop the action.
08:42 What I leaned into was , knowing that I am infinitely supported. And I allowed myself to be supported by somebody who had offered it in the first place, who I had rejected and then decided that my pride and ego were not more important than the thing that I was manifesting.
14:37 How can I approach this differently? How can I get what I want, but from a different angle. How many people miss out on getting what it is that they desire because they refuse to look at things differently
Quotes
"I want to open myself up to receiving again; receiving love, receiving acknowledgement, receiving support, and really intentionally co creating the co parenting relationship and friendship that I desire to have with him."
"Who do I need to be for that intention to be fulfilled?"
"Frequently, we stop ourselves from the breakthrough because we are so contracted in the holding on to the story the protection of the ego, the protection of the heart."
