Hey, let me introduce myself. I'm Claire and I'm 42, (almost) divorced with 3 kids 12 and under. I work in film and tv, but I'm probably known for owning Archive 12 - a bridal shop in Belfast. I’m here to share my journey of how my life fell apart in just 12 months and what led me to start this podcast. It’s been a wild ride, and I can’t wait to dive into the real, raw moments that got me here. We’ll get into everything from healing after divorce and juggling motherhood on your own to figuring out who you are when the shit hits the fan in midlife—and yes, what it’s really like to date again in your 40s (spoiler alert: it’s a hot mess). Whether you're in your own ‘solo era’ or just curious about what it's like to start over, join me as we talk about embracing your solo era and making it the best chapter yet.
