  • Stories from the Other Side with Guest Rachael

    Stories from the Other Side with Guest Rachael
    Jun 18 2025

    What if leaving was the bravest thing you could do—even when you were the one who broke the vow? In this raw and tender episode, Erica sits down with Rachel, who vulnerably shares her story—not as the betrayed, but as the one who had the affair.


    With honesty and deep reflection, Rachel opens up about what it’s like to be the partner who chooses to end the marriage, even when the door to reconciliation is still open. Together, they explore the complex emotional terrain of guilt, grief, and the often invisible work of self-forgiveness.


    This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes, walking away isn’t about giving up—it’s about choosing truth, healing, and a more honest life for everyone involved. If you’ve ever struggled with shame over your own choices—or felt like your story didn’t fit the “right” narrative—this one’s for you.


    You are still worthy. You are still whole. And you are not alone.


    🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways:

    • The Infidelity Perspective – What really leads someone to cheat—and why shame isn’t the full story.
    • The Ego vs. The Whisper – How to discern the fearful mind from soul-level truth when deciding to stay or go.
    • Navigating Guilt & Shame – Why guilt can guide and shame can paralyze—and how to move through both with grace.
    • Self-Forgiveness After Divorce – Rachael’s journey to forgiving herself and facing the heartbreak she caused (and felt).
    • Post-Affair Co-Parenting – How to build a respectful, connected relationship with your ex—and model emotional growth for your kids.

    • Gratitude After Grief – The surprising power of appreciation when you’re rebuilding your life from rock bottom.
