Who is Suzy Miller?

Suzy Miller is the founder of Starting Over Shows, the original ‘divorce fair’ in the UK, which provides information and inspiration (along with tea and cake) to those going through major life changes such as divorce, relationship break up, redundancy and bereavement.

Now the information and inspiration from these events is condensed into the world’s first SOS Divorce in a Box. Not just an online version – but a real box that looks good, includes OVER £500 vouchers OF EXPERT 1-1 ADVICE, a media dvd with videos and audio, and SOS booklets about mediation, collaborative law, divorce coaching, and how to stay out of court, protect the kids and save money. www.sosdivorceinabox.com.

The Starting Over Shows combine mediation and collaborative family lawyers alongside divorce coaches, photographers, redundancy experts, massage therapists, and the mystic housewife. It is the first UK event to help people bounce back from divorce, relationship break ups and life crises. On the day, we create a safe haven in which you can take professional advice to build the confidence and skills you need to go it alone.

Suzy is collaborating with the Ministry of Justice in promoting non-adversarial break up. Divorce is an emotional and psychological journey, not just a legal and financial one.

The question that is usually asked is “Why did it take a woman to make the first ‘divorce fair’ in the UK a success?” and the answer is that she organized the show with a holistic approach, which brings an expectation of emotional courage in the visitors. The other question is “What makes SOS different from other European ‘divorce fairs?” And the answer here is that there are no private detectives or DNA testers exhibiting at the show.

About Suzy

Suzy and her partner ended their 10-year relationship in 2003. Their three children were aged six, four, and one at the time, and it was the most painful and traumatic experience of her life. However, as the years passed she soon became grateful that her ex had the courage to end a relationship that was not truly feeding either of them, and they now have a healthy respect for each other.

It was tough getting to where they are now, Suzy admitted. Sometimes it amazes her how they got to be in such a good place despite some very difficult times getting there.

It takes courage, vision, and a determination to believe in a positive future when life seems nothing but a struggle, but the joy of children is that they provide a massive incentive to make that extra effort. It is not a journey anyone needs to make alone.
