Discovering Clarity and Self-Love: A Journey of Ending a Marriage and Embracing New Beginnings
In life, we often find ourselves checking off boxes—career, relationships, home ownership—only to realize that, despite it all, something feels off. It’s a feeling that many of us can relate to but might struggle to understand or act upon. In the latest episode of my podcast, "That Was The Moment...," I had the privilege of speaking with Elise Enriquez, who candidly shares her transformative journey from self-abandonment to self-love, and the pivotal moment when she knew she had to end her marriage.
Elise opens up about how she was living a life that, from the outside, seemed perfect. She had all the things society deems necessary for success and happiness, but deep down, she knew something wasn’t right. There were moments of loneliness and a growing sense of self-abandonment that she couldn’t ignore. It wasn’t until a trip away that she experienced a moment of clarity—she was living someone else’s dream, not her own.
This realization didn’t come easy, and the decision to leave her marriage was even harder. But as Elise explains, sometimes the hardest choices are the ones that lead to the most profound personal growth.
One of the most powerful aspects of Elise’s story is her emphasis on self-love. For so long, she had been putting others’ needs and expectations above her own, which led to a disconnect from her true self. The decision to end her marriage was not just about leaving a relationship; it was about reclaiming her identity and learning to love herself again.

Elise's journey didn’t end with the breakup. She talks about how she and her ex-husband grew apart as they evolved into different people with different values. This realization was key to understanding that, while relationships can be wonderful, they also need to evolve and grow alongside the individuals in them.
One of the most surprising parts of Elise’s story is the new chapter that followed her divorce. She shares how she found love again—this time, with a woman who truly understands and shares her values. This twist in her journey is a testament to the importance of embracing change, even when it feels daunting. Life has a way of leading us down unexpected paths, and it’s up to us to follow them with an open heart and mind.
Throughout our conversation, Elise emphasizes the value of having hard conversations, whether with yourself or with others. These are the moments when growth happens, when we push past comfort zones and confront the truths we’ve been avoiding. For Elise, these conversations were instrumental in not only ending her marriage but also in finding a new, more authentic way of living.
Elise Enriquez's story is one of courage, clarity, and transformation. It’s a reminder that life is not about ticking off boxes but about living authentically and embracing the journey, no matter where it leads. Whether you’re facing a difficult decision, struggling with self-love, or just looking for inspiration to embrace change, this episode is a must-listen.
