Searching for happiness after divorce
In this week's episode I'm excited to share my interview with Holly Vernon, author of The Little Book of Holistic Happiness.
I wanted to share Holly's story with you on the podcast for two reasons: 1) I love her newly released book. 2) Hers is a truly remarkable story of overcoming a painful divorce.
Holly Vernon was born in the United States and moved to Belgium as a teenager. She fell in love in Switzerland and married an Italian at the ripe age of 20. Rome was her home for 20 years.
Although she had everything a woman could materially desire, she found herself feeling an undeniable void. Her marriage had given her 3 beautiful children but she felt trapped. She describes herself as a “kept woman”. It took her years, but she finally found the courage to ask for a divorce.
Her path towards independence was extremely arduous–custody battles, financial woes, emotional rollercoasters… the whole works.
Luckily she found richness in learning philosophy, ancient texts, yoga and macrobiotic nutrition. It took her years but she eventually found her holistic happiness.
This year Holly finally knew she was ready to share her wisdom. The Little Book of Holistic Happiness is a compilation of lessons acquired after 20 years of studying philosophy and traveling to the places she studied: India, Egypt, Italy, Greece, and more.
As she shares in the podcast, “the book comes from that growing recognition of self-love,” something she started to nourish despite feeling that she was a finished woman after divorce.
That self-love eventually allowed her to flip her cross and turn it into a sword.
