Today, we are welcoming, Jane Gibb, an APSATS certified partner coach who is based in Sydney, Australia. Jane is not just an esteemed colleague, but she is also my friend and sister in Christ. Welcome to the podcast, Jane! Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?

Since, Jane's strength is helping a betrayed partner gain confidence in herself while on the healing journey. That's what our conversation is going to revolve around, today.

1. What is confidence and what does it look and feel like in everyday life?
2. Betrayal damages our sense of confidence. What is it about the experience of betrayal that is so devastating to confidence?
3. What can be done to reclaim confidence after betrayal?
4. What hope would you offer a person listening who feels like her confidence is gone forever?

Today, we're personally reflecting on some of those lessons and sharing them with you.

1. What belief did you have early on that changed as you healed?
2. What lesson took you the longest to learn, but made the biggest difference in your recovery?
3. If you could sit down with a woman who just discovered her husband's betrayal yesterday, what words of hope would you give her

Today, we are tackling something that is somewhat ingrained into our culture. That is the language of victim blaming.

Phrases we hear all the time, subtly redirects attention away from the actual wrongdoing and onto the person who was harmed, creating confusion and self-doubt over time. Victim blaming rarely sounds harsh at first—it often comes wrapped in "advice," "wisdom," or even spiritual language. Without awareness, a woman can internalize responsibility for something she didn't cause, which quietly deepens shame and confusion.

1. What are some women's experiences with the language of victim blaming?
2. What is the harm in the language of victim blaming?
3. What hope can we leave?
