Wanda Nara — an entrepreneur and the former wife of footballer Mauro Icardi — speaks openly in this brief conversation about how her divorce and work affect her life and the upbringing of her five children.
The Power of Motherhood
— What helps you start the day even when you are tired?
— Only my children. For them I find the strength to make decisions, whether they concern small household matters or major steps at work.
Divorce From Mauro
— Why did you ultimately decide to separate?
— I realized that sometimes separation is necessary to show self-respect. Yes, it was hard for me, but I put the family first and decided that it would be better for us to live apart.
What I Tell My Daughters
— How do you explain what happened to your girls?
— I tell them it is important not to endure a situation if it causes pain. You have to know when to say “stop” and take care of yourself.
What I Tell My Sons
— And what advice do you give your sons?
— I remind them that respect for their partner and their family is paramount. If they behave irresponsibly, they may lose the person who loves them.
So What’s Next?
The divorce was a serious test, but as Wanda says, life goes on. She tries to raise her children with firmness and love, believing that in the end they will all become stronger.
