Should I Go Back: Why Giving Your Marriage One Last Try Could Actually Help You Move On

This book was not written by a marriage counselor, a therapist or someone with any kind of degree in marriage and family relations.

This book was written by me - a regular, healthy, happy, successful, very normal I might add... person, who happens to have suffered through all of the implications - both real and perceived - of living life during and after divorce.

Am I qualified to write on this topic? Well, if you want to learn from someone who has actually been divorced, survived and even thrived, and has some thought-provoking ideas about how to navigate divorce intentionally and, in some cases, even avoid it - then the answer is YES. You won't just read words - you will take action.

What you take away from the information in these pages will depend on where you are at in your marriage. My hope is that you will realize there is not just one way to do divorce, or to do a relationship, or to find peace. What that looks like is very personal for each one of us.

Learn from my mistakes or make your own. But whatever you choose, find the joy along the way and come out the other side a stronger, more confident, more empathetic version of yourself.

This time, she was determined to enjoy every minute of every day with her beautiful daughter. So she left the news business and began her freelance career. As a full-time mom, she was able to work on many commercials, corporate videos, and branded spots over the years. She also acted as a spokesperson for many companies. But divorce would eventually force her back into the workplace and a full-time job - a lifestyle that was all too familiar to Janeen.She accepted an offer at ABC4 where she switched gears and became an Account Executive and part-time on-air talent. She loved her time here. But with a better offer on the table a few years later, she left to go back to KUTV 2News, this time as a Marketing Consultant - a job she loves.Janeen loves beaches, road trips, fitness, her kids, and dogs - sadly, her Bichon, Lhasa Apso and Mini Dachshund are now all in heaven.
