Empowering Moments Radio Show Interview: Love, Friendship, & Divorce
By Ria | April 29, 2008
Today, my ex-husband, David, and I were guests on the talk show, Empowering Moments. I have been a guest on the show a few times, but this is the first time I have spoken on the topic of my divorce with David and about our book that hopefully, will be published soon.
Although we had a difficult marriage, we were able to maintain an amicable relationship during our separation and divorce and then become friends afterwards. How we were able to come to this point in our relationship could only occur with personal development, truth, self-love, and a lot of forgiveness. And, in David’s words, we followed the motto: “Don’t let a bad marriage mess up a good divorce.”
You can listen to the show on the Empowering Moments website at www.empoweringmoments.com. If you listened live or through this link, we hope you leave us a comment. We would be happy for you to share your thoughts and experiences and encourage you to dialogue with us. : )

Wow. The experience of talking about our book project on the radio was more than I expected. Reflecting on how we maintained a civil relationship during our divorce process brought out some deep feelings for me. I appreciated the opportunity to talk about how our story may help others that face similar events in their lives.
The man that I am today and the person that I strive to be is because of my response to the traumatic effect our divorce had on me and also because of the continued mutual friendship and support I share with Ria today.
Ria’s message of self-love, forgiveness, and personal development has no greater illustration than how she and I chose to handle the ending of the “perfect marriage.”
I look forward to the completion of our book so everyone can understand the difficult path we each had to take during and after the divorce. And the brave decision to go against the stereotype and allow the respect and love that was founded in the marriage to set the tone for everything that followed.
