Hi, I'm Lydia, and 'Children of Divorce' is a collection of the dark, outrageous, funny, heartbreaking, and occasionally shocking thoughts that make us human. We talk about eating disorders, family dynamics, abuse, unhealthy coping mechanisms, college, relationships, and everything in between.
The truth is, we don't get to cheat being human. But being human isn't just suffering - it's connection, growth, laughter, and finding meaning in the mess.
Thanks for listening.
As always,
Lydia x
Hi all, welcome back to another episode. Today I really went off on my train of existentialism...but can you blame a girl? This life is weird!
I hope you are all doing well and looking after yourselves. Just remember, you are good enough as you and you can’t be someone else even if you wanted to! Just be the best version of you, that’s good enough. Ok. We’ll be fine!
All my love, Lydia XXX

I’m overwhelmed by my overwhelm
I hope you guys heard me loud & clear in this ep, your girl is overwhelmed! Let’s all take a deep breath in together….
Did that work? Nope, right… yeah, I’m still overwhelmed.
Sometimes we try all the exercises we can, we try to rationalise with our brain, we try to de-stress ourselves, and you know what, we still end up overwhelmed. That’s part of being human. It’s beautiful. It makes the good moments that much sweeter that we had to go through such tough ones. But if you can, find a way to breathe, find a way to chill. Remember what’s important to you, and what you actually want out of life!! Also…hate to say it, but it’s out of our control. You're you and I’m me and we can’t change that; we’re going to live out our lives and try to do the best for ourselves, but we can’t be anyone else other than ourselves, so let’s just enjoy the ride :)
Ok, all da love!! XXX Lydia

I went to a psych ward during my gap year
Settle on in folks for another storytime - this is such an important episode for me, one I’ve been wanting to make for a long time.
The psych ward/rehab/looney bin was a crazy place to be but also so so formative for me! If I learnt anything from it, it’s that one should ask for help (cliche), be prepared to weather the aftermath of the storm, but also believe that things will get better and change. It’s ultimately a story of hope! I managed to overcome an illness I never thought I could. We can do hard things - you can do hard things.
To whoever you are out there, I’m sending you my love. I hope you get better/continue forward with whatever personal journey you are on. Look, it doesn’t happen overnight, it takes years. But fortunately, there is time.
ALL MY LOVE, LYDIA XXX
