Happily Ever After Divorce - Notes of a Joyful Journey

Join me as I interview Jessica Bram author of Happily Ever After Divorce - Notes of a Joyful Journey. If you are thinking about getting a divorce, are in the process getting divorced or are divorced you will want to listen to this show. HAPPILY EVER AFTER DIVORCE Notes of a Joyful Journey Jessica Bram “Divorce need not be the end of the world. Instead it can be the path to a life better than anyone could previously have imagined.” With three young children, Jessica Bram, age 41, took a terrifying leap and found the courage to leave her unhappy marriage. She discovered that while divorce, like childbirth, can be hard and painful, a glorious new life can emerge on the other side. In her moving and often humorous memoir, HAPPILY EVER AFTER DIVORCE: NOTES OF A JOYFUL JOURNEY (HCI; April, 2009, $14.95), Bram shares not so much the pain of divorce, but the joy, healing, and second chance at happiness it can bring. She proves that divorce can be a positive solution when all else fails. For anyone contemplating or undergoing divorce, reading HAPPILY EVER AFTER DIVORCE: NOTES OF A JOYFUL JOURNEY provides a new outlook for the transformation ahead. With startling openness, Bram shares her personal anecdotes – about panicked eating, financial transition, online dating rejection, carrying on a “secret affair” with her ex-mother-in-law, and having ‘coffee with the enemy’ – her ex-husband – to work out the details of their children’s lives. Bram offers an upbeat account of how she not only survived divorce, but thrived in its aftermath. She discovered hidden talents that enabled her to earn a living, learned that humor goes a long way in getting through the tough times, and found that with hard work and the right attitude, co-parenting can be successful. Now, when friends ask her about the difference between her ex-husband’s lifestyle and her own, she tells them, “Yes, he ended up with most of the money. And I ended up rich.”
