  • About....Finding Yourself Again

    Episode 8: I don't think you'll find too many triggers here, but as always, please be careful. In this episode, following how we're both feeling in our journeys right now, P and I discuss the stepping stones we have taken in order to re-discover ourselves and piece our lives back together, from the very small, to the much bigger.

  • About.....The Other Woman (Part 1)

    Episode 7: *TRIGGER WARNING* Please be careful listening if you are struggling with post-infidelity trauma. I had an emotional breakthrough this week, while P has had a pretty stressful time with one thing and another. She also had some urges around contacting the other woman, so in response to that and some listener's questions, we finally address the topic of "the other woman". Did we contact, confront or communicate with them in anyway? What's the best way to deal with this?

  • About......Triggers & Trauma (& vases 😂)
    Episode 6: *TRIGGER WARNING* Please be careful if you are struggling with post-infidelity trauma. I share a big milestone about something that has finally stopped happening and P had to face a realisation with her ex-husband this week. We had something else planned, but events happened before recording that changed our direction. We ended up discussing triggers, trauma (both emotional and physical) and the ongoing repercussions of living with the effects of infidelity. Watch out for P's classic analogies along the way!
