The SHE Word - S4/EP7 - Women, Separation and Divorce

Here on The SHE Word we discuss topics that not just fun and entertaining, but we also discuss topics that are harder to have conversations about, but are important. Its taken a while to get to the topic we are discussing in this episode, the this show is about Separation and Divorce - which is not only a topic that directly affects 40% or women in Europe, but in the 12 years since divorce was legalised in Malta, the islands have seen a total of 4,472 couples divorcing… tallying up to an average of one a day.

This show is brutally honest about all that goes with ending a relationship that was meant to last forever. The grief, the trauma, the depression, despair, disappointment, anger, recovery, rediscovery and ultimately finding peace and moving forward.

Joining Host Trudy Kerr are three amazing women who have a great deal to share about their separation and divorce journeys and their remarkable resilience;
