Relationship Advice

340: When You're Left In The Dark


Listen Later

Today's conversation is important for anyone who has suffered the loss of a relationship whether they wanted it or not. In this episode I speak with Vikki about her book and her work surrounding it. Based on a study of over 400 women worldwide, Runaway Husbands: The Abandoned Wife's Guide to Recovery and Renewal, is the first book to explore and offer healing strategies to women whose lives have been turned upside down. Whether you identify as having a runaway husband, or you have simply gone through a break up with a man or woman, this episode is for you!

In this episode with Vikki Stark we discuss relationship advice topics that include:

  • How to deal with the pain and shock of a partner suddenly leaving a seemingly happy relationship
  • What Wife Abandonments Syndrome is and how it's different from a regular break up
  • How to use a life crisis as an opportunity for growth
  • Learning to forgive yourself and your partner
  • What to focus on during the healing process of a break up
  • How to be comfortable as a single person and learn to trust again
  • And much more!
