The unhappy marriage left Emma exhausted

Emma Sheppard, a 42-year-old from Blackpool, split from her husband after 18 years of marriage in 2020 and felt empty and drained. 

The busy life as a wife had left her unhappy, both within herself and in terms of her appearance.

However, after two years, Emma says she is now extremely happy after completely turning her life around.

Emma's spectacular transformation after her divorce

To start her transformation, Emma Sheppard embarked on a wardrobe makeover.

Out went the familiar black trousers and flats, replaced by skirts, heels, and vibrant jackets and coats. Embracing a bolder style, she ventured into the world of red lipstick, a newfound addition to her beauty routine. 

Additionally, she made significant progress in her journey to quit smoking, reducing her habit from 20 cigarettes a day to just four.

Emma also decided to take on an additional job at a cocktail bar for two nights a week. 

The mother-of-two joined a gym and gave up junk food, opting instead for healthy meals cooked at home.

Emma made significant changes to her diet, opting for healthier options like chicken pasta and homemade bolognese instead of her previous go-to choices of egg and chips and bacon sandwiches.

She also embraced a glamorous look and started going out again, even setting up an account on Tinder

Emma has since received a lot of attention, including from a man who claimed to have been on Love Island.

She expressed her happiness, saying, "I feel amazing and it's like the beauty comes from within. It's like walking on air."

Previously, she had always worked hard and taken care of everyone else, but after the separation, she realized it was her turn to focus on herself.

Emma got married in 2002 with the belief that it would be a lifelong commitment. 

She was devastated when the couple split in 2020. She described herself as feeling old, empty, and drained, but now she feels completely different.

She said, "I'm living my best life. I'm happy, and I look completely different."

The relationship had started to break down several years ago, and her husband moved out in January 2021. The divorce was finalized, marking a new chapter in Emma's life.
