In today’s episode, I dive into a deeply personal and transformative story that has had an immense impact on the person I am today. This experience also served as a profound lesson on grief, pain, and the unavoidable role they play.

This raw, vulnerable episode describes the impact that infidelity, addiction and pornography had on all areas of my life.

It's important for me to clarify that this episode is not about bashing my former husband or expressing anger towards him. It is about sharing my personal story of healing with utmost respect for both of us. 

This story focuses on the profound healing process that followed. It explores the aftermath of betrayal, the trauma endured, and the significant impact it had on my identity and sense of self-worth. This is a story of my healing, my journey towards reclaiming my strength, overcoming resentment, and my path to finding joy and peace.

In this episode we cover:

• How betrayal can have serious consequences and losses beyond emotional pain
• Specific descriptions and examples of betrayal trauma symptoms
• What the 10 ‘Domains of Impact’ are and how the impact of betrayal transforms over time
• Personal “before and after” examples
• the importance of seeking support, both from professionals and loved ones
• The role of personal responsibility and accountability in healing
• the importance of choosing to heal and prioritize self-care in the face of overwhelming pain and trauma
• How moving past bitterness and resentment is one of the most difficult parts of healing
• The hope and possibility that exists for your future if you choose to heal 
• The personal growth and reflections I had through this life experience

Join me as I navigate the complexities of healing from betrayal, unravel the layers of trauma, and discover the profound transformation that emerges from the process. This episode is an intimate exploration of my own growth, resilience, and the pursuit of inner healing.
