From Hacienda to Heartbreak…to Healing

I wanted to share something deeply personal with you this week.

I recently sat down with the brilliant Sarah Knight for her podcast It’s Got Pockets and to be honest, it’s the rawest, most unfiltered conversation I’ve ever had.

We covered everything. And I mean everything.

💥 Losing the love of my life
💥 Navigating widowhood, grief & solo parenting
💥 Dating over 50 (yes, including those DMs…)
💥 Getting sober after hitting rock bottom
💥 Building purpose-driven businesses like Chapter 2 DatingWidow’s FireSober AF, and more.

There’s grit. There’s gallows humour. There’s a few plot twists (as always).

But more than anything, it’s a story about resilience and how we can turn even the most painful chapters into something meaningful.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “how do I move forward when life falls apart?”  this one’s for you.

💬 And if someone you love needs a little reminder that comebacks are possible, please forward this to them.

With love,
