How to Start Over After Divorce

I never imagined I'd be starting over in my 30s, a single mom of three boys, struggling to assemble a life that had little to do with the one I had dreamed about. Divorce was not the end of a marriage—it was the unwinding of all I thought I knew about who I was.

Those early years, the weight was overwhelming. I had to work, raise my boys, maintain the home, and somehow make it through emotionally. There were nights that I cried myself to sleep and days when I could barely get out of bed. The fear was relentless Can I do this on my own? Will my kids be okay? What about me?

The problem is, I didn't know who I was apart from that relationship. I had lost myself in attempting to hold it all together. I was exhausted, bare emotionally, and full of uncertainty about myself. But somewhere inside of me, I knew I had to rebuild—not for my children, but for me.

And so began the slow, painful process of rediscovery. I had, of course, already begun my blog, The Glamour Diary, years before when life was simpler. But after my divorce, I saw it differently. It wasn't just a blog in which I would write about beauty and fashion. It became my diary, my therapy room, my voice.

I rebranded the blog to mirror the woman I was emerging as. The Glamour Diary was now a place for women like me—women who were beginning again, seeking themselves, finding resilience through vulnerability, and learning how to own their softness after trauma. It wasn't about prettiness or pretension anymore. It was about truth, healing, and clarity.

That's when I entered my "soft era" an era of grace, womanhood, and unapologetic self-love. I stopped trying to be everything to everybody. I let go of the need to perform and started setting boundaries that protected my peace. I entered into clarity Klarity, as I now call ita deep, soul-knowledge of who I am and what I deserve.

But as I healed, something struck me. So many of my women in my community were struggling to find valid flexible work-from-home jobs. They yearned to be economically independent but had no idea where to start. They were just like me: caregivers, mothers, survivors, and dreamers. I knew I had to do something.

That's when I created The Glam Care Hub, a call center and resource site specifically for women that connects them with flexible, remote work that accommodates their lifestyles. It's not just a call center/ staffing. It's a movement, a haven, and a solution for women who want to work from home and be present for their families and themselves.

Divorce reconstruction was the toughest thing I have ever had to do. But it also became the strongest part of my life. I discovered that I am resilient, strong, creative, and very able. I turned pain into purpose and formed something beautiful out of ashes.

So if you're reading this and you're where I was exhausted, confused, and overwhelmed please hear me: You can do this. Your fresh start is waiting for you. And you're not alone.
