When everything you’ve built suddenly falls apart, how do you find the strength to begin again?

In this emotional and empowering episode of the award-winning Don’t Shrink to Fit, host Claudia Noriega Bernstein talks with Tara, a mother of four who experienced one of life’s most painful betrayals, finding out her husband was having an affair with a close friend. What followed was a long journey through heartbreak, loneliness, and ultimately, self-discovery.

With honesty, grace, and a lot of courage, Tara shares how she moved through the pain and found herself again. Her story is one of strength, faith, and the power of choosing to rebuild from within.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 • How betrayal and loss can open the door to personal growth
 • Why boundaries and self-worth are key to healing
 • That forgiveness is more about finding freedom than fixing the relationship
 • How to stop living for others and reconnect with your true self
 • What it means to live in the space between “no longer” and “not yet”
 • How to move through grief without passing your pain to your children
 • Why letting go isn’t weakness, it’s the beginning of strength

"Either you evolve or you repeat. Healing starts when you stop shrinking to fit the life that broke you."

If you’ve ever faced infidelity, loss, or the challenge of starting over, this conversation will remind you that your past doesn’t define you. Your rise does.
