Divorce Kid Diaries: Lessons I Learned
In this episode of Chill with Gill , I open up about growing up with divorced parents and how it shaped my childhood and the person I am today! I talk about what it was like packing my life into one backpack, traveling between different states, and learning how to maintain a meaningful relationship with my father from miles away. Those experiences fundamentally shaped the way I see relationships, change, and life itself. I share the perspective I’ve gained from growing up in circumstances I couldn’t always control, and how they taught me to focus on what I can control in the present moment! Most importantly, I talk about the importance of allowing yourself to actually feel your emotions instead of bottling them up. You can’t always change what happens around you, but you can choose how you process it, move through it, and let it shape you!
