Keeping the family home in divorce is one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and most of us make it from fear. I know I did.

In this first note I talk about the difference between deciding from logic and deciding from fear or emotion, and why that matters so much when your world is completely upside down. I'm a former family lawyer, and I still couldn't see my own situation straight when my marriage ended.

I tell you about the family home I fought with every part of me to keep, the fight I had with myself and with everyone around me, and the one question I wish I'd asked much sooner.

Press play, and if you've got a big decision coming up, listen before you make it.

You know your marriage is over, maybe it's been over for years, but something stops you from taking that first step. If you're scared to start your divorce, this note is for you.

This is episode one of Divorce Notes, and it's called The Courage to Start. It's dedicated to my mum, seven years to the day since she passed, and in it I share what she told me before she died, and what I'd tell the woman I was back when I knew my marriage was over but couldn't say the words. As a former family lawyer who has been through her own divorce, I know how long you can keep putting it off, and how many excuses there are.

I talk about the fears that kept me stuck, what people would think, the children, money, being on my own, and the one question I'd now put to every one of them. I also tell you about the day I told my mum, how scared I was, what she said, and what happened later that same day. Fifteen years on from my separation, I'll tell you how those fears actually played out, and the small thing I'd ask you to do today.
