After the shock of Week One wore off, reality started to settle in—and it hit hard.

In this episode, I walk you through the emotional whirlwind of the second week after discovering my husband’s affair. I share the confusing mix of false hope and gut-wrenching realizations, the moments I clung to scraps of affection, and the text messages that said one thing while his actions said another.

I talk about:

• Starting therapy and searching for answers

• Taking the kids back-to-school shopping while holding back tears

• Buying a new car by myself for the first time

• Hearing him say she was his soulmate—after 24 years with me

• And the moment I realized… trust was gone

If you're somewhere in your own Week Two—numb, confused, or still hoping it isn’t real—this episode is for you.

You're not alone.
You're stronger than you think.
And your story matters.

How do you keep breathing when everything you thought you knew about your life crumbles in an instant? This episode takes you inside my first week after learning my husband had been unfaithful. From unanswered questions and sleepless nights to my boys' tearful questions and my desperate attempt to hold it all together, I share the pain, confusion, and disbelief that consumed me.

But even in the darkest moments, there were tiny glimmers of strength—the people who held me up, the boundaries I began to set, and the quiet reminder that this wasn’t the end of my story. If you’ve ever faced betrayal, heartbreak, or life-shattering news, I hope you hear yourself in my words and know you’re not alone.
