No couple is ever "in love," forever. There are highs and lows but there is unconditional love. This was a game plan to be alone, untethered and self-involved. It will be exciting in the short term. Without self-sacrifice you can never be a parent. Loss of sleep at night, staying up when they are sick, rushing them to the hospital when you could have been out with friends on a Friday night… all self-sacrifice. To serve in the military requires self-sacrifice, to leave behind your loved ones and go into war zones. Self-sacrifice is a huge part of a functioning society. Taking care of aged parents with dementia or other chronic illnesses are all examples of self-sacrifice.

This is just proof that you can have an amazing husband, you can be beautiful, healthy, have a smart child, be a millionaire have millions follow you. Traveling, you can have all the materialistic things, you can have nice mother-in-law, you parents sister alive and healthy , you can have a beautiful home etc and still not be joyful, not having peace and not feeling complete… This is just proof that our soul can only be fulfilled with Gods love and relationship with God is a must in order to truly be happy. Nothing and no one can fill you heart completely expect God’s love… but we have to ask for it and look for it and finally we will be complete and enough

[@lifeisbeautiful7452]

They’re divorcing. All smoke and mirrors.

[@an67481]

”You can have everything and not see how lucky you are”.

[@Riveramazons]

She’s rejected Alex 4 times that’s super telling… I think she wasn’t physically attracted to him. I can’t believe Alex tried so hard lol.

[@an67481]

This is what happens when people are lost in new age, emptied, untraditional, individualistic, faithless and godless lives. Yes, I have been a follower of the Ikkons for yesrs and supported their concept of unconditional love and partnership. But besides the many many feelings and desires they maybe experiencing that lead them to this, one thing is clear that they both are missing: God. The bill will be everlasting and heavy one. On them both and their loneliness, and on the product of their broken love, their daughter Alexa Love.

[@martamaljkovic5242]

I can't stop but wonder why did Mimi think she couldn't evolve next to Alex? I would like to think if a couple can communicate well and are loving any evolution can happen within a couple without a breakup. I however respect Mimi very much and I don't want to say I know better than she does about her own life. I am sure she did what she felt was best for her at this time

[@ravishinash]

When you do a lot of gratitude work and try to see the positive sides in a relationship which isn’t inherently toxic, how do you arrive at a point where you require separation? Wouldn’t you work out your issues if any? Or try to see the good in etc ?

[@uhohstinky5850]

She’s a phony

[@arzu300]

I may be wrong, but I think Mimi will eventually regret this decision. Love has its stages, it can’t always be butterflies. Alex was a great friend, great partner, great father. I personally wouldn’t leave, especially because I wouldn’t want Alexa to go through this sad experience.

[@cookielicious82]

They portrayed a certain image, had their second wedding and yet there was clear something that isn’t right ….. I think we should all stop assuming because they gave the picture, it doesn’t mean reality was the same as the image they put to sell the products etc… wish them all well …

[@losiramadartse4127]

However; NO ONE really knows what goes on in one’s relationship. It’s sad, but for her to jump into an unknown path, takes guts and something had to cause that push. Just think about that.

[@gabrielacismigiu4981]

What I realized is that people when they have it all, they look for thinks to stimulate them! She felt that she needs to explore a part of herself and maybe he gives her that chance because he loves her! She might even reconcile after she gets all her answers! If not, she clearly wanted more excitement out of her life and Alex can’t give her that! The child is the one who will suffer, regardless all the love they will give her! She will always see separation and she will have trauma!

[@eminaroses2138]

Supposedly, it's Alex that wanted to divorce

[@gabrielacismigiu4981]

Great interview! Mimi has the courage to do what many women want that either don’t have the courage or the means to do it! On the other side, relationships are not all exciting after awhile! You must work on them to keep them fresh ! It is about commitment and she thinks because he loves her , he will accept anything she wants to do! She clearly feels this marriage expired! Hope she gets what she wishes! But I think you can grow with your husband by your side if you love him! I know that because I am doing it for 28 years! I wish Mimi the best! I will certainly continue to follow her and you to get inspired!

[@rozalindafeorre6482]

I love that Mimi was more open and honest here. It was obvious that she had become a passive person when she was with Alex

[@ShivaniPauPodcast]

Awww thank you!!!

[@vindasahakari3189]

A thoughtful conversation! It made me rethink about my life sprectrums. Sepcailly when mimi said who is mimi beyond the relationship with Alex. What she loves etc. This line made me rewire my thinking about Who am I? if I was alon here what choices I would be making? What if I leave out all that comes from external influence or sayings, how will I behave or make choice. I will sit and journal on this before december ends. So that I can actaully live my authentic life. To make my coming years chosen by my true intutions and not others opinions. ❤❤❤

I feel like Mimi is still traumatized by her parents and hasn't forgiven them. I think she needs to "radically" forgive them to be free.

[@salwaalmulla7577]

What had happened with the parents?

[@lesliegonzalez2858]

@@salwaalmulla7577They disciplined her and tried to give her structure. But she’s selfish and a walking tornado who doesn’t appreciate anyone but uses them to get what she wants.

[@asseldentayeva3425]

Mimi did a great choice. To find the love she wants and that’s is beautiful! Very brave and very intelligent woman she is!

[@an67481]

No, she is very new wave and vapid that is! She gave and received, she wouldn't be who she became without her Alex. Now, because she is a dominant and creative and even manly pwrsonality, she has ensured security and love from him, she got it, she raised her little one, and now she wants a new challenge. Dominating people are "reafirming their own story" as she said, once they fulfil one target, they want a new prey. She does not honor the man that she attracted and kept at her side. She does not honor the younger her, and her daughter. It's all made of paper and plastic.

[@starsshmars]

I like that Mimi opened up about the separation with Alex. Personally, I now understand her much better.

[@starsshmars]

Still hearing her talk about a potential next relationship is shocking though... 😂

[@eminaroses2138]

@@starsshmarsI don't think so, they were probably already separated or distant for a few years but their daughter kept them together

One of the most empowering podcast I've heard & with a guest who I grew up watching. Thank you for bringing her on Shivani. Much love ❤

[@ShivaniPauPodcast]

Aww thank you so so much!!!!

[@gaby061488]

That was empowering? You definitely have some low standards. Mimi is clearly a selfish, self centered woman. Do you know how many women would love to be married to a man like Alex and end up with abusive or cheating men? She’s a big phony. She only wanted to become famous and have lots of money. Alex made her and everything they have is because of him.

[@pavilova29]

Seems like Mimi is very confused and over-explaining it with ‘positivity’ and ‘it’s meant to be’. Thank you for vulnerability!

[@DariaZeev]

I saw this break up coming when they did vows renewal. It puts an expiration date on a marriage, here was no exception. I still like Mimi and wish her all the best.

[@an67481]

How does vows renewal put an expiration date on the marriage? Maybe the type of vows and the type of contract they get in yes. They did not swear unconditional love and union until death do them apart. That is for sure. And the reason why is new age individualism and godless living. They are just as vain as other celebrities, moved by the same things, fame and money.

[@gaby061488]

@@an67481what? Marriage is forever hint “til death do you part, for better or for worst.” She used him to become famous and now thinks she can make it on her own. They made a relationship video where she stated love was supposed to be unconditional. She is a phony.

[@an67481]

@@gaby061488 I agree with you but clearly the "civil marriage" aka a random partnership that gives fiscal benefits is something new age people get into without any real commitment for life, much less until eternity. If you ask me, these are vapid people, who live for urges. I hope their audience sees their smallness and stop idolizing these intluencers as if they have done anything breakthrough for civilization other than literally selling hair extensions and notebooks with quotes by other authors while claiming to be happy and settled. When in reality they are continuously insatisfied and greedy. Cheers.

[@lueclark7766]

Not sure who did what or why, but I always knew/felt there was something pretentious about their relationship. It seemed too 'scripted'. Not genuine.

[@losiramadartse4127]

Hi

[@irisdanagher]

So Alex became the parent you needed and now you're looking for a sexual connection? Totally normal

[@an67481]

Not normal. Self involved, narcissistic, materialistic and clueless yes.

[@uhohstinky5850]

What a a joke. It does not take courage to separate a family and long term relationship. Selfish to the core. You can’t take what she says seriously becasue she doesn’t practice what she preaches: Gratitude .

[@an67481]

Such a bunch of spiritualism and lost souls, mascaraded in layers and layers of pretending, acting, and material thrills. They need God and truth. Not projects, objects, thrills, successes, or any of the like.

[@eminaroses2138]

You know your soul, you don't know their souls. Focus on you

[@Me-wk9eo]

I dont care thay she is divorced. Thats her business. What does rub me the wrong way is her claiming most married people are unhappy in their marriages. No. Not true. Also you cant be happy all the time, thats inreaistic. Happiness comes in waves. What a sad idea to influence her saighter with too. The poor girl will grow up believing true love doesnt exist and that serial monogamy is a thing and when you are done with eachother you just break apart your relationship andnwverything youve built together

[@christinai6190]

Why is she talking about this when she has a failed marriage. She sold us a lie that they had it all, and they didn’t.

[@an67481]

”Soulsearching”. You are lost souls focused on thrills, emotions and money. Why ”soulsearching”? That is what you are, be truthful first of all, before attempting to play with spiritualism. You are missing truth and God. That’s one and the same thing actually.

[@Saansaari]

Except for a happy marriage I guess 😅….. although she did say they were happily married but decided to get a divorce. Delusional people

[@_xBrokenxDreamsx_]

stop peddling this nonsense please it's gone on for far too long.

[@forevadorable]

her ex husband was for sure gay and I feel so bad for him he was creative and she made him do business
