Letter 1 - Introductions

My Dear Friend,

Hey! I’m Mackenzie.
A Dog Mom
A Millenial
An Eldest Daughter
A Divorcee

Life doesn't always go as planned, especially when divorce enters the picture.

Though there are plenty of people who write about their healing experience after going through it, those people are older and/or have children (young or older). They’ve been married multiple years and seem to thrive a couple years later.

But there is a sect of people who don’t get the books and blogs, divorcees in their 20s.

Which was me. In 2017, I went through a divorce after 2 years of marriage.

I searched and searched for anyone who had experienced something similar o mine and found all of one article on Pinterest.

Now, other sources were helpful, with some general tips and ideas on next steps and healing, but to have something written specifically for your age and time of life, closer to the experience you went through, is even better.

It helps you feel less alone.

So, what are these letters? What is the purpose? To help others feel less alone.

It’s time to truly share experience, growth, healing, and how this particular event shaped who I am and am ultimately becoming.

You might be wondering, who is she to talk about these things? Does she have any qualifications?

Other than the real life experience of healing after a divorce in my 20s, I also have a Bachelors in Psychology, a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, I am a certified Awakener Coach, and have years of personal growth/development training.

So, with that said.

Welcome my friend, to Letters from a Divorced Eldest Daughter.

A safe space of reflection, lessons, and commentary on life’s journey no matter who we are, or where it takes us.

Love Always,

A Divorced Eldest Daughter.
