Win-win!\nThis week I\u2019m bringing you a training I did as a webinar last year about whether or not you should stay in your marriage for your kids. This is one of the BIG topics I get asked about all the time. Of course it is. It\u2019s the biggest conundrum we all face\nIf you\u2019ve been mulling over this particular question, I know you\u2019re feeling a lot of uncertainty \u2014 about your future, about your present.\nYou\u2019ve heard horror stories and maybe people in your family and community are telling you you\u2019re selfish for even thinking of leaving, and you think surely you should just suck it up and stay for your kids.\nAnd despite everything everyone\u2019s saying, more than anything you just want to know that whatever you choose, your kids will be ok.\nAs a mom, you put them first in everything. Every move you make for yourself and your life you put through the filter of \u201cwhat\u2019s best for my kids?\u201d\xa0\nSo how can you possibly make a decision about your marriage without putting them first? Without considering how this will affect them? Without the deepest fear that if you decide to leave your marriage, you\u2019re going to break them?\nIf the idea of leaving is just as terrifying as the idea of staying, what should you do? In today\u2019s episode I\u2019m going to reveal 3 vital truths about whether or not leaving your marriage will screw up your kids, and then I\u2019m going to dig deeply into each one.\xa0\nHere are just a few of the topics I touch on in this episode:\n\nYou deserve to be happy, and why your happiness is actually vital for your kids\u2019 mental health\n\nDivorce doesn\u2019t screw up kids.
