But one woman has gone further than most by completely transforming her life after getting divorced. Emma Sheppard, 42, was left feeling "worthless" after splitting from her husband of 18 years in 2020. Now, two years on, she's living her "best life" after finding inner happiness. The mum-of-two realised it was "her turn" after years spent caring "for everyone else." So, she joined a gym, ditched junk food, glammed-up, and even joined Tinder - turning her life around. Emma, a welfare case worker from Blackpool, said: "I feel amazing and it's like the beauty comes from within. It's like walking on air.

But, one day after we separated, I realised it was my turn. I looked old empty and drained, but now I'm living my best life. I'm happy and I look completely different." Emma tied the knot in 2000, aged 22. She thought she would be married for life but the relationship started to break down several years ago, she says. Her husband then moved out in January 2021, and the divorce was finalised in October of that year. Emma says she was initially down but, after listening to Roar by Katy Perry, she decided to move on. First she gave her wardrobe an overhaul, booting out her usual black trousers and flats for skirts, heels and brightly coloured jackets and coats. She also started wearing red lipstick for the first time, and cut her 20-a-day smoking habit to just four. Emma says she feels 'happy inside' ( Courtesy Emma Sheppard / SWNS) And c){kind=link}
