Life After Divorce: Emily Laing Chats with Sophie Habboo
Life after divorce can be challenging, but it's important to remind yourself that you're not alone and that everything is relative.
What happens when life throws you a curveball like divorce? In this episode, Emily Laing sits down with reality TV star Sophie Habboo to unpack the emotional rollercoaster that comes with such a major life change. But don’t let the title fool you; this conversation goes far beyond the end of a marriage.
Sophie shares how her upbringing shaped her resilience, saying, 'Perhaps it's because of that sort of when I was younger, trying to cover everything up and make everything look like it was perfect and not telling all my friends and da-da-da, and so I've built like sort of a response to any sort of thing that's happened, happening or any time I feel vulnerable, I just cover it up'.
Emily and Sophie delve into the importance of seeking therapy and other forms of support to navigate tough times. They also remind us that everything is relative, and sometimes, a little perspective can go a long way. And yes, they even manage to weave in some Harry Potter magic! As the episode wraps up, Emily leaves listeners with a poignant reminder: 'The world is a better place with you in it'.
If you’re grappling with change, shame, or just need a bit of encouragement, this heartfelt discussion is one you won’t want to miss.
