an ideal life

At age 22 I thought I had my life all figured out. With my college degree in hand, I headed for the Big Apple to start my first job. Although my professional future was looking bright, I worried that I wouldn’t find a husband, have children and move forward in my family life.

So, it was no surprise that when I met a wonderful man from my hometown who was ready to settle down, I married him. I moved from New York City back home to Connecticut and began a new phase of my life as part of a nice, young family in the community.

My earlier fears about not having a family disappeared after the birth of my two beautiful boys. My life appeared ideal as I built a solid partnership with my husband, enjoyed my job at a non-profit agency and raised my sons. However, I began feeling unfulfilled. Where was all my passion for life?

the beginning of my journey

I was married for 12 years but my journey actually began six years after our vows. When people started referring to me as “an asset to the community” and “a wonderful wife and mother,” I had concerns that I could not shake. I didn’t know who I was or where my life was taking me.

As my sadness and frustration grew, and being ten years older and wiser, I realized that I wasn’t sure how or why  had made the choices that I did. At that moment, I made the decision to rediscover the passion buried inside me.

I spent the next five years in therapy and marriage counseling. Unfortunately, I was angry all the time, unfulfilled, afraid, defensive and completely overwhelmed. I asked myself many questions about my past choices, my husband, my children and my future.

Slowly, the answers to my questions emerged, but they only seemed to generate more concerns. In the meantime, I struggled to keep a smile on my face.

Then one day I allowed the “D” word to enter my mind. DIVORCE. Could I possibly get divorced? How could I tell my husband, a good man, that our marriage wasn’t right for me? How could I tell my parents and my friends that I had failed? I was paralyzed by these thoughts and frozen with fear.

champion of my own destiny

Eventually, I overcame the fear and took the first steps of my life-changing journey. I learned it is ongoing, and can begin at any time in a woman’s life.

I know what it is like to be unhappy, unfulfilled, confused, overwhelmed, frightened, insecure, hopeless, strong, brave, committed, loving, passionate and all of the other feelings this journey evokes. The D Spot evolved out of these emotions.

Your journey is not just about divorce because it can begin before, during or after. It is a beginning, not an ending…and you are not alone.

I am here to welcome you to your personal journey. My commitment is to support you in taking the first steps, help you create your extraordinary life and guide you along the path to becoming the champion of your own destiny.

Yours unconditionally,
