My Story

I know first-hand the struggle of regaining confidence and loving myself again after my marriage ended. It was even harder to do it on the other side of the world with no family or friends and a little 5-year-old girl to take care of.

I was born in Alicante, Spain, to a beautiful happy family full of love and devotion for one another. My parents met when they were in their early teens, and so did my uncles, my cousins and pretty much everyone I knew in my family. It was the thing to do back then, and to this day these relationships are still going strong, going on forever, honouring the ‘until death due us part’ vow. I grew up carrying this belief in my genes, celebrating big and beautiful weddings and looking at marriage as this mysterious sacred institution that brought people together forever and ever in the name of love. 

In the summer of 1997, I decided to leave my Law degree and move to London with my then best friend who I met when I was 15 years old and with whom I had started a long-distance relationship in my late teens. I left my easy life living with my parents to move to London, without speaking a word of English, with no degree or career skills and being really unaware of what was waiting for me.

I became a housewife overnight, taking care of the house, the groceries, the dinners and having to learn how to use a computer and speak English. My whole life was focused on proving myself to my parents and my partner. To prove I was good enough. And that continued throughout my marriage.

I struggled with no time for myself and my needs for years. I stopped believing in myself, struggled with stress and self-esteem, found comfort in food and struggled with diet and self-image. It was a long time after my marriage ended, that I was able to accept that I was good enough and I had nothing to prove to anyone anymore.

Once I managed to turn my life, it became my purpose to help other women to create a new life they loved after their divorce or breakup, using my past experience to break through the past pain and disappointments, their own self-limiting and destructive beliefs and fears, to create a new life with love and purpose.
