Helen Thorn - Affair, Divorce, Big Change and Back Stronger

Stretch Marks

Show Notes

On this award winning podcast we talk about the parts of life stretching us to our limits, the necessary growth and the marks left behind. Stretch marks don't just happen on your body - they happen throughout your life (especially in this insane world).

Helen Thorn is an award winning comedian, podcaster and Sunday Times bestseller. She is one half of the successful comedy duo Scummy Mummies and she joins me on the pod to talk about her new book "How To Face Big Change and Come Back Stronger"

After discovering her husbands affair, Helen did what most of us would and took to the bed with a bottle of booze, comfort food and grieved until her friend gently suggested she have her health checked and turns out she wasn't doing so well! She made a decision to use her betrayal as a catalyst for good in her life and to come back stronger. Since then she has had massive career success, ran 13 marathons, regained her confidence and is pretty much unstoppable.

This book is a gift for anyone facing giant life changes not just divorce and talks through the many arteries of your life that change impacts from friends to career, health to reigniting your sex life again. It's all in this book.
