Carrie Pyle Lawrence - Ep. 8.1 - I found out about a long term affair and my mother died within the same week.

Meet Carrie, A Florida girl rooted in Los Angeles who prefers beach chairs over fancy couches. She is a mother of two beautiful girls and a TV Producer who made divorce and all the elements that come with it an opportunity to help others. As she says “Living in a big city, being financially independent, being a single mom. All of those things in the first six months seemed just insurmountable.” We will learn how she had a lack of self confidence and a lack of feeling worthy, and a lack of being enough all mixed into what became her starting point. She tells us how losing the people that were close to her erased having an emotional support system. 

She attributes part of her loneliness in dealing with life after divorce to the fact that it wasn’t talked about. Instead, It was this shameful thing where she was some kind of failure. As she began to voice her story, support became more readily volunteered. By the end of this episode she poses a sincere question, which is “When you get married you imagine that you are going to live happily ever after, but what happens when ever after isn’t so happy?.”
