On today’s episode, we take on the highly charged topic of infidelity. From the outside, there’s a tendency to harshly judge affairs; however, anyone who has been involved knows it’s often more complicated than it appears.

Today we shed light on some of the nuances that can exist as our co-host, Jill Douglas, tells her story of infidelity. She shares the internal struggles she encountered and the shame she experienced, mostly from her own self-judgment.

This episode isn’t about condoning affairs; it’s about having more compassion and better understanding. And it’s about offering hope for those who have been there: You can forgive (most importantly, yourself), and you can go on to enjoy great relationships.
