Getting Through Tough Times by Stepping into Your Authenticity with the Author of “Soar,” Pamela Savino on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq. #129

On this episode Susan Guthrie, Esq. speaks with Coach, Podcast Host and the Author of "Soar," Pamela Savino, on a topic perfectly timed for the tough times that can occur in divorce and on a broader scope, are occuring in the world at large as COVID, societal unrest and financial difficulties create stress and strain in our lives every day.  Pam's decision to move through the tough times in her divorce by stepping into her own authentic life will inspire you and help you as you face your own challenging times! A few years back, Pam Savino and her husband decided to divorce.  As she shares in her wonderful book, Soar, there was nothing "bad" happening, but the relationship was not working for either of them.  The news left friends and family shocked as they were that picture postcard perfect family who "had it all" but they knew that it was the right choice for them.  That is not to say that the divorce was not full of tough times, there were plenty, and Pam shares several stories that may sound very familiar to you such as telling the kids, dealing with the 'til death do us part issue and keeping the divorce a secret from everyone until the time was right.  Pam's lessons on leaving behind the life that society and other people tell you is right, and stepping into your own authentic self, perhaps for the very first time, is the true path through the hard times ahead to a a happier and more fulfilled life! Some highlights from this episode: Find out how Pam, and not her attorney, "drove the bus" in the divorce process and how Pam found the strength to make those "big decisions." (7:35) What does "living authentially" mean for Pam and why does she think it is the key to getting through those tough moments in divorce and in life?  (9:17) Where does the shift from inauthentic to authentic living happen?  (11:50) Why does Pam say that in the challenging moments that is when we find our greatness?
