Ep.51 The Chat Room: 'Breakups, Separation & Divorce with Yasmine Campbell' (Part 2)

Today I'm going into The Chat Room where women from around the world join me in my virtual studio to discuss the topic of the week. The conversations are really eye-opening and we usually uncover nuggets to help us all live this single life like a boss.

Episode Summary

In Part 2 of this 2 part episode, Yasmine Campbell tells us how she recovered from her divorce and the lessons she's learned. I love when she says she's grateful for the experience because it made her who she is now. It's my philosophy too and I think we all need to learn from it.

Key Takeaways

  • Having a support system that you can share with and who will give you godly counsel necessary for healing. Don't isolate yourself (3:39)
  • Some persons may shy away from helping you until you separate from your spouse (6:03)
  •  God marries purpose and if their purpose is not in line with yours don't waste your time because it will derail for months or years (11:29)
  • So often we do not take the time to get to know if the man is a good man. And so we can't make a right decision regarding him (17:41)
  • What we need to know when choosing a partner is whether God says this is the one and whether God says this person is ready because timing is also important (19:40)

Top Quotes

  • God has really cushioned the blows that I should be feeling. And so every step of the way, as soon as I start to really struggle, God just send some answers that's an help (5:23)
  • My takeaways from this marriage is guard your freedom guard what you have in Christ (11:13)
  • Relationships require vulnerability but it just can't work one way (12:44)
  • When somebody is in your life sucking the blood out of you...you have to get higher. Just get higher in God. don't stop because there comes a point where that crow has to fall off your back (15:06)
  • It's interesting how we don't take the time to get to know people. We don't know how they really are, who they really are. Oftentimes, we watch them based on their actions (17:02)
  • I really thank him for where I am today....for whatever I've learned and the wisdom that I've gained because without going through this, I wouldn't know what I am made up of. And I wouldn't have learned so much. The Scriptures wouldn't have come alive to me (22:36)
