Hi There!
My Story
It was the start of Covid-19 and I was registered into an online course. My divorce had just been finalized and I was still healing. I was in a good frame of mind, but I wasn't completely happy. I had kept my divorce a shameful little secret and was unaware of the weight it was imposing on me.
​
Upon my first meeting with my coach, I was challenged to post something on social media that was extremely personal and would make me vulnerable to the world. It was an odd request, but fit perfectly with what her course was and where I was in my process. When I settled into the request, I knew I would be talking about the divorce. After all, it was the thing in my life that I had suppressed.
Before pressing the button and going live on Facebook, I was confronted with a variety of things. I felt shame, I felt insecure, and I had an overwhelming fear of being judged. I was going to put something out into the world that was not positive and it would show me as not being wanted, not good enough. With a knot in my stomach, I searched for reasons to not do it. Every part of me searched for an excuse. I was attached to looking like I had it all together. I had done it for so long that I had forgotten what happens when you trust the process and tell the truth.
It was my commitment that pushed the button to go live that night. I had said I would do it, and so I did. What happened in those next moments radically changed my life.

Peter,
You likely receive a lot of emails given your profession and I'm unsure if you'll receive this one, however if you do, I just wanted to take a minute to express sincere gratitude for your Podcast, The first 6 months.
I'm a 43m,married 10yrs, together 14 about to go through/going through the process and it's terrifying. When I listened to your personal story I related to it on so many levels from the kitchen imagery, the betrayal and the desire to just be released. It's raw and real unlike many others I've listened to. Whether you know it or not, your work is helping so many others out there. You share a gift. Thank you for being vulnerable.
