[BONUS] Divorcing the narcissistic husband: Emotional Abuse is Real crossover, part 2

This bonus episode returns us to my conversation with Sarene Leeds, host of the Emotional Abuse Is Real podcast. I get raw about my journey, from discovering infidelity through bank statements and phone records to the shocking criminal investigation that ultimately led to me filing for divorce. We explore the significance of open financial communication, emotional abuse, and the power of trust. We also talk about resilience, the importance of therapy, and the supportive network that helped me through. This was not an easy chat, but if sharing my story helps one person move forward in a positive way, it's worth it.

About the Podcast

Secret Mom Hacks: Mom Life & Parenting Tips for Busy First Time Moms
As someone who was previously terrified of childbirth, parenthood and all that follows, I’m pulling back the curtain on all of it. Every now and then it may get a little messy. We may share a little TMI, but that’s why you’re here, right? Secret Mom Hacks covers topics every first-time mom needs: self-care and worthiness, mental and physical health, joy and grief in motherhood, fun family activities, creating happy memories, unique parenting obstacles, and more.

This podcast is for new moms, busy working moms and mompreneurs who want pregnancy hacks, new mommy tips, seek progress over perfection, and wish to model the best version of themselves for the precious, tiny humans looking up to us.

Listeners can expect new episodes every week that are positive, helpful, honest, and relatable that help every parent learn and grow - no matter how old your child is. You’ll leave every episode feeling refreshed and inspired, filled with hope and feeling better equipped, knowing you’re not on this mom journey alone. There’s a lot of subject matter to cover when it comes to #momlife and we’re leaving no stone unturned!

When I became a new mom at age 35, I was a busy music industry publicist, filled with questions and anxiety. Life has a way of delivering experiences that help us confront those things. I’ve been through situations where I wished another full-time working mom who’d been through similar trenches could come alongside me, share a few inspiring words, and cheer me on through this uncharted territory. I’ve learned invaluable things from my circle of support - and I know that’s not something every new mom has. I hope you find that here.
