#5. “Betting On Myself” with Cindy Cheung

Untying The Knot with Lisa Gu

Picture this.
You’ve been married for over 20 years, raised two beautiful girls, bought your dream retirement home, have a good job, and are planning to transition to a more relaxed life with your spouse.
Then, out of nowhere, shortly after selling your matrimonial home to “downsize”, your husband tells you he wants a divorce. Not only that, he had told his family, hired a lawyer, and you were literally the last to know.

As if that wasn’t hard enough, COVID hits. You lose the new job you were so excited about just a couple of months ago.

Now, without the identity of being someone’s wife or having a corporate title, who are you?

This was Cindy Cheung’s reality four years ago.
Today, Cindy lives in her own "castle" with her two daughters—the house she built after her divorce. She left the corporate world, became a professor at a local college, started her own consulting business, and is simply shining her light.

How did Cindy transform her life from shock, betrayal, and pain to incredible growth and love?
Find out in this new episode of Untying The Knot.

In our conversation, this badass queen and I cover:
➡️ It's okay to be angry, sad, or whatever—give space to your intense emotions
➡️ Choosing to channel these emotions to fuel your personal growth
➡️ Rebuilding life with a new vision for yourself and your children
➡️ Finding a sense of freedom and liberation in being single
➡️ Embracing different variations of love in your life

Cindy, the queen of metaphors, also compares marriage to a “bullet train” and introduces us to a new word: “liberosis.”

Don’t know what that means? Listen in to find out.
