The Loving Truth

From the outside, Mary had the perfect life: She was a successful mother, wife, and college professor. But from the inside, Mary felt lonely and disconnected in her marriage. 

When her affair started, Mary thought, “This is it! This is the answer. I have to leave my husband for this man… because this is what makes me feel alive!”

But I say, “Not so fast!” It’s not so simple. (It’s not that easy.)

In this episode, we’ll discover the real reason an affair can make you feel alive, why it might not be the “simple” solution you imagine, and what to consider instead. 

If you’re struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you’re serious about finding that answer, book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We’ll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there’s a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

• How to develop your “essential self” (before it’s too late) 
• How to get out of the realm of “duty” and into the realm of “desire” 
• Why your affair isn’t the ANSWER (but how it can lead to your next step)

The problem is NOT that we argue with our partners... the problem is that we never learned how to argue.

This episode is especially for those of you who have already made the decision to leave your marriage or relationship… but feel wobbly in the execution. 

This is important: Your partner doesn’t have to understand or agree with your reasons for leaving.

Yes, the emotional unwinding of your relationship will be difficult, but that’s not a “good enough” reason to invalidate your own pain… to remain compassionate to his.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through the reasons why literally NO ONE needs to understand or agree with your decision to leave.

What happens to your brain when you’re falling in love (and into an affair relationship) is the same thing that happens to your brain on drugs.

The good news is: You’re NOT addicted to your affair partner. You’re addicted to the feeling of falling in love.

In this episode, I’ll explain why that matters and what to do about it!

Married men are being called to “awaken” inside relationships in a way that hasn’t happened before. That’s a very good thing!
