24. Humour and Hygge: Redefining Valentine's Day after Divorce

The Divorce Chapter

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Divorce Chapter podcast, turning the unexpected divorce plot twist into a new and improved happily ever after.
Can we talk about Valentine's Day for a moment? After a divorce, it feels like hearts and flowers just rub salt in the wound, right?

But let's turn the tables on this whole Valentine's drama. Join me on the podcast as I spill the beans about my cliché engagement story that happened on Valentine's Day (yes, seriously!). We'll chat through the expectations and disappointments tied to this lovey-dovey day and maybe find some humour in the process.

Expect a dash of Anti-Valentine's, because, why not? Did you know there's an entire week dedicated to it? From SLAP day to BREAK-UP day, it's a rollercoaster of emotions, and I'm here for it. Let's explore reframing Valentine's Day, injecting some laughs, and creating our own traditions.

And if the whole romantic vibe is getting you down, fear not! We'll go into the art of self-love. Imagine buying yourself the most beautiful flowers, creating a self-care package, or treating yourself to a luxurious shopping spree. It's all about embracing the leading-lady energy in your life.

And that's not without romanticising your own life? I'm talking about adding a sprinkle of magic to the mundane, treating yourself like the star you are, and taking yourself on a date. Get ready to laugh, love, and embrace the fabulousness that is you!

So, whether you're diving into Galentine's Day, awaiting Black Day in April, or just celebrating your solo status, remember – you have the power to choose how you approach these days. Let's reframe expectations, find the joy in our own company, and laugh in the face of societal pressures.

As always, sending you all my love, and I can't wait to be back in your beautiful earbuds next week
