Divorce can be one of the hardest challenges we can face as adults. Recovering from a marriage breakdown and learning how to be happy alone takes time. Author and podcast host Elizabeth Day experienced this first-hand when she separated from her first husband, the journalist Kamal Ahmed, in 2015.
Sitting down with Davina McCall on the Begin Again podcast, Elizabeth talks openly about when she finally realised, aged 35, that she needed to walk away from the relationship. “It’s so painful feeling that you’re in the wrong marriage,” she says. “There is no loneliness quite like it, and I think many people understandably are terrified of being on their own and of taking that step and ending a relationship.”
