In this raw and powerful episode, I open up about Month 9 after discovering the affair—April 2024. This was the month I took real steps toward building a new life. I signed up for real estate classes, went on my first date in over 25 years, and started visualizing a future without my husband in it.

But it wasn’t all forward motion. Mediation brought on a deep emotional weight—dividing time with my kids, sorting through years of shared life, and facing moments of tension and heartbreak. I share it all: the hope, the heaviness, the hidden victories, and the emotional truth behind the scenes.

This is the month I stopped waiting for closure and started creating my own. I share journal entries, real text messages, and reflections you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s me—learning to let go and rise on my own.
