Divorcing to Find Happiness & Enjoying Adult Friendships | Serey Chea Opens Up |

She was married for 20 years. They started out happy. But slowly, they got busy. And distant. So she filed for a divorce.
What's it like to life as a divorcee? Why did she stay married for that long? How did she come to the decision to leave the marriage? What's life like now that she's divorced and a single mother of 4 children?
Cambodia's central bank Assistant Governor & Director General Serey Chea is a highly accomplished woman who tried to balance home, work and academia flawlessly. But she had her struggles like any other woman. The desire to feel supported yet lacking that at home.
"I love myself and I want to come home happy," became her starting point as she navigated through the decision.
Serey also shares her gratitude for growing female friendships and encourages women to lean on one another.
