In this episode of The Candid Divorce Lawyer, founder of Mum about Town, Daisy Harris-Reid, joins Kimberley Davies to share her experience of divorce, being a solo parent and how the separation has been a catalyst for her new career and helped her to rediscover herself and find joy.

Daisy talks about:

- Her 11-year marriage, the early age at which she married, and how she and her ex-husband changed over time, leading to their divorce

- How her divorce was amicable but the years following were emotionally turbulent. She found comfort in writing her book to help others going through similar experiences

- How counselling helped her process her emotions independently of her friends and family

- The financial impact of her divorce, including the need to become the breadwinner and manage her finances more carefully

- Her challenges of co-parenting and how she initially struggled with her son spending time with his father

- How she tries to enjoy the process of dating again and not putting too much pressure on finding a new partner
