Nikki Parkinson speaks to Bec Chappell, passionate communicator, Marketing Strategist extraordinaire, and lover of finding solutions.
This hearty chat offers spades of grace, humility and a touch of sparkly hope. The kind of hope that we have all wished (or wishing) for during a 1am meltdown.
As the pandemic rolled into our lives in early 2020, Bec was facing the biggest year of loss, and later liberation, that could have once floored her. One night, Becâs now ex, turned to her and said, âI donât want to be togetherâ. Her response was brave and true, âI am not going to force you to love meâ.
During this time, Bec lost her job and was losing her marriage. In a matter of months her world came crashing down. The final blow after months of ghosting by her ex-husband; âI have feelings for someone elseâ.
She could have given up, but instead, Bec decided to take control over her life and heart before it destroyed her any further.
It's a story of hearbreak and an epic comeback.

Two years ago, Madeleine West hit âRestartâ on her life. She packed up her life in Melbourne and moved to Byron Bay, split up with her partner of 15 years and the father of her six kids and she started life again.
During this honest chat, Madeleine opens up about how she divorced her husband when the world was watching, why remembering the love-story can help the ending, and that itâs never too late to change everything.
It was a love story that started with houses, children, enterprises, and dreams, and at some point, became utterly unstuck. When Madeleine's 16 year relationship ended, she decided to repurpose her love into an ending that needed care, consideration and respect.
Achieving a âhappy separationâ, through a âconsciously uncouplingâ process required Madeleine to dig deep into the existing compassion she had for her children's father if she was going to remain remotely unscathed.
Thereâs no mistaking, divoce is a horrible and horrendous experience. The loss of self-control and direction, with no firm guide, leads many down a rocky path.
Taboo topics need to be shared, and stories need to be told. If we get up close and personal with our fears, and the stigmas surrounding separation, we invite self-respect into our lives. We offer respect to our previous partners, our children and ignite a sense of hope, that we can all move through this together.
Now, Madeleine is (re)discovering her new identity.
These steps have been taken before you, so listen (read) up!
What are your finances?
What do you need to live a life, to the one that you currently live?
What do I need to financially safe-guard my life?
I needed an honest assessment. So, ask yourself:
What am I going to do? What is this going to cost me? Does your legal team fully understand your circumstances? Does your legal team offer kindness and compassion? Do you need a therapist? Do you need a retreat? Do you need a glass of wine?Give yourself a chance at consciously uncoupling over a toxic divorce.
