I cheated in both my first and second marriage. That's notan easy thing to admit out loud, but in this episode, I'm getting real about cheating in a relationship, self forgiveness, and how to forgive yourself for past mistakes. I talk honestly about repeating the same pattern twice, sitting with guilt, and what it actually took for me to finally break the cycle.

If you're struggling with letting go of guilt and regret, wondering how to forgive yourself and move on, or trying to figure out how to stop making the same mistakes in relationships, this episode is for you.

I dig into signs of insecurity in a relationship and how insecurity affects relationships—including my own, long before I understood what I was really chasing. I talk about the validation I was searching for underneath the infidelity, insecurity that traced back to childhood rejection, and how I finally learned to love myself instead of looking for that loveoutside of myself. That inner work is what led me to meeting my now-husband, Justin, and finally understanding real intimacy and real healing.

This is an honest conversation about reframing past mistakes, turning your mistakes into lessons, and how to learn from yourmistakes in a relationship instead of repeating them. Whether you're carrying guilt, working through self forgiveness, or just trying to figure out how to move forward after a bad decision, I hope this reminds you that your life is not ruined because of something you did or something that happened to you. Growth is always available to you—no matter how many times you've had to learn the same lesson.
