🔥 Episode 94: Why Is My Life So Hard? What the Highest Highs and Lowest Lows Taught Me About Being Alive After Divorce

from Better Because of Divorce · host Julie Steed

This summer I was in the room when my daughter got the call that she was accepted to medical school.And I was also the one who had to tell my other daughter that her best friend had been killed in a car accident on his way to our house.One moment she was laughing and waiting for him to walk through the door.The next, life was changed forever. In between those two moments I was floating on a sailboat in the Adriatic Sea, witnessing the most beautiful, clear water I've ever seen.The highest highs and the lowest lows. At the same time. With no pause in between.And if you have ever looked at your life and thought, why is this SO HARD? This episode is for you.Because here's what I know now that I didn't know before coaching.Life is not happening to you.It is happening. And you get to choose how you meet it.In this episode I'm getting real about what this summer actually looked like, the grief, the joy, the beauty, the devastation, and what coaching taught me about how to hold all of it without being destroyed by any of it.We also talk about something nobody says out loud enough. Coaching is not better than therapy. But it is different. And if you have been using therapy as your only tool and wondering why you're still stuck, this episode might be the most important thing you listen to today.Your life is not too hard.You are just missing some skills.And those skills change everything.
