Wendy Williams & Kevin Hunter Divorcing

Talk show host Wendy Williams is divorcing her husband Kevin Hunter after over 20 years of marriage a source confirmed to People magazine. Williams is known for her spicy and often times invasive reporting style of celebrity news, but has been fairly reluctant to discuss her own personal marital struggles.

Williams, 54 and Hunter, 46 have been speculated to be having marital troubles for several months now after it was reported that Hunter had a younger mistress that was pregnant. The two have a son, Kevin Jr. that is 19 years old.

To make the situation even more awkward Hunter is Williams manager. This entire ordeal gives me the feeling that their is more that will unravel before it is all said and done.

Managing my Anxiety

So because anxiety always pops up uninvited, I had to learn some combat skills to keep it from ruining my life. I could be having a great day… and then those crazy thoughts come out of no where. Thoughts like somethings going to go wrong soon or thoughts of people that have been nothing but kind to me will betray me soon. I’ve gotten tired of these thoughts ruining happy moments for me so I begin to get to the root of them.

  • First thing I do is remind myself that NOTHINGS HAPPENED. I’ll be sitting there worried about things that haven’t even happened.
  • Secondly, I think of all the possible outcomes of what I’m worried about. I’ve found that the worst case scenario is something I can live with.

For instance, I had terrible anxiety a couple of weeks ago because I hadn’t renewed plate sticker because my car wasn’t passing the emissions test. After I sorted through all the anxiety, I calmed myself by remembering that the worst case scenario is that I will get a ticket…and I can pay a ticket.

Anxiety is always an inconvenience and there is never a good time for it to show up. However, I am determined to continue to fight for the good life that exists beyond anxiety.

Progress

Try not to get discouraged when the goals you’ve been working toward have not completely been accomplished. Sometimes life throws us so many curve balls that a goal we thought would take a few months to achieve has now taken years. Though that can be extremely discouraging, don’t give up!

One of the best ways to renew your momentum is to acknowledge how much closer you are to achieving the goal than you used to be. Don’t forget, baby steps are still steps. Keep going… I believe in you.
