| I woke up yesterday morning thinking: I am having more fun making this podcast than I've had with my work in a decade. It feels so much less lonely than writing. And I SO LOVE making We Can Do Hard Things with Sister.
I told you she was brilliant and hilarious and honest!! She is the best gift I have to give you and I am so deeply grateful that you are receiving her with such tenderness and joy.
In today's episode, Sister and I discuss infidelity and the imprint it leaves on our sense of self and future relationships. We detail our own, very different experiences. I was told by my ex-husband of 10 years, in the middle of a marriage therapy session, that he had been unfaithful to me many times. In my books, I've alluded to what happened in Sister's first marriage that shattered her gigantic heart. I've never told the story though—because it is hers to tell. She tells it today. With such courage and generosity. And then we try to make sense of how the hell we both were able to trust—and fully love—again.
We'll also explore:
1. The messed up way Sister learned her marriage was over—and how that sabotaged her healing process.
2. How we often cling to unforgiveness because it's the last connection we have left.
3. The one question not to ask someone who is recovering from infidelity and what you can say instead.
In the wake of infidelity, my sister helped heal me. I helped heal her, and we heal each other all over again, every single day—THAT'S what I hope we're sharing with you today.
Beauty has come of it all. We can do hard things, in-freaking-deed.
Thank you, thank you for listening and for holding our stories with love.
