Why Leaving Feels So Hard (Even When You Know You Should)

Why Leaving Feels So Hard (Even When You Know You Should)

Did a podcast recently with The Ex Wives Lounge Podcast.  It's the strangest feeling to feel less alone in connecting with others who have experienced what we went through... while at the same time feeling guilty for feeling that because it's so awful... you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy.

In part one in this series we touch on:

- Why people stay in unhealthy relationships even when they know it’s time to go
- The emotional patterns that make leaving feel almost impossible
- How these environments impact children and shape their experiences
- Real-life stories and the lasting effects on family dynamics
- How my books helps children understand difficult situations in a way they can process and heal

If you’ve ever questioned why leaving feels so difficult or want to better understand these dynamics, this episode is for you.
