Overview

Following my divorce, and discovering that as my life had been work and my marriage. I had no friendship group to talk to and confide with. So like many people during covid, when we all felt lonely. I took to TikTok to tell the world how I was coping each day. Starting with day 1 of finding Wendy. When I discovered there was interest in my story, and I was helping others who were in the same position, to get through it. Becoming an inspiration. I decided to put pen to paper to document my journey over 365 days of #findingwendy. To see where the journey would take me. And the more I wrote and documented, the healing process kicked in. So this book is a live account of each day, and the feelings and emotions I experienced. How I coped with them. Or didnt. And it is my way of letting others in the same position know, that some of these feelings are normal. It is ok not to be ok, as the saying goes. And it is also ok, to let out the anger. Feel the grief. As long as you move on and keep taking steps forward. I literally went from wanting to end my own life, to living life to the fullest. Even at 55, I am the happiest I have ever been. And I want to give others hope. That they can be too.

About the Author

I am a Programme Director for a Global Bank looking after European Transformation within Technology. Driving innovation alongside communities of practice for our people and our customers. I consider myself to be successful in what I do, and I have led major transformational journeys, alongside strategic outsourcing for a number of large corporates. I have two grown children in their 20s, and a black Labrador who is 6. And they are my world. Post Covid heights, in 2022, I found myself struggling with the menopause, empty nest syndrome, other serious health issues, and finally a divorce. After 20 years of marriage. All culminating with me loosing my way and my self confidence. So after the initial shockwave, and grief had settled. I picked myself up, put on my big girls pants, and decided that I would embark on a journey to rediscover myself. Focussing on finding the girl I used to be, to the woman I am today at 55. I have a passionate conviction around everything that I do, and in the last 12 months. The journey I have been on, has taken me to new heights. I have jumped out of a plane at 15,000 feet. I have travelled abroad on my own. For both holiday and for work. Enjoying the experiences. I have rediscovered my love of fitness, attending the gym more frequently and learning to paddle board, and snowboard. Which is how I met my new partner. But mostly I have discovered that to be truly happy. I needed to love myself first and foremost. And this book is that journey and how I made it through.
