Secrets are like viruses
It’s as if infidelity is a contagious disease, floating around looking for its next victim.
Feeling like an Octopus
How on earth are you ever going to get CLARITY of your own situation, when you are feeling like an octopus, being pulled in different directions.
The Kettle
Stop walking on eggshells
You are constantly on guard.
Constantly treading on eggshells.
Constantly thinking of the next story you have to make up to cover the secret.
Holding onto a secret creates stress
A friend once told me if you hold a fart in for too long, it travels up your spin, into your brain, and that’s where all your shit ideas come from. Yes, I know it’s a joke, but it is a good analogy to use when it comes to secrets.
Gaining Clarity
Every affair starts off shrouded in secrecy, regardless of whether it’s short-lived, or one that has been happening for a lengthy time.
Ghosting…WTF?!!
She was a broken woman when she came through my door, and it was the first time I truly understood what ghosting actually meant. It was ruthless. It was spineless. It was cold.
I don’t know who I am anymore
“For many, infidelity is not just a loss of love; it is a loss of self.”
~ Esther Perel
"I don't know who I am anymore!"
I am here for you
For the women who have been SHAMED.
I want YOU to feel SEEN, and HEARD, and HONOURED for the journey that YOU are going through.
A shout out for the Mistresses
This is a shout out for all the special ladies, who have been caught up in a web of lies and false dreams.
I see you.
I acknowledge you.
And I’m here for you.
Just S.T.O.P.
I would like to share a simple exercise that I use when feeling overwhelmed, or irritated, or anxious, or any number of yukky feelings.
You are not Alone
There are many sides to infidelity. It is a complicated f**k up of a situation, and one that is not looked upon lightly.
The F.I.F.O. Point
So that MASK that you have been wearing? It’s slipping… it’s not working for you any more…
So what now? What does one do?
What mask are you wearing?
Yes, I was hiding the yukky stuff, the deep ugly heartache, the incredible shame, the loss of so much and so many. I didn’t want others to see my pain. I needed to show up as that strong woman everyone told me I was.
To be so alone
This post is for a special lady who has been constantly on my mind for a few days now. I just can’t get her out of my head.
The Power of ONE.
The Power of ONE.
Yes, we’ve all heard the expression. But I want you to REALLY think about it…
Take the Leap
Shit happens in life!
Yip I've been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt!
I know how it feels.
To be Shamed
The worst form of shame in my opinion is when somebody shames you! When you are shamed by someone else.
Double Shame
To all the women who have ever been cheated on, who have had affairs, or who have been somebody’s mistress, this is for you.
Just. Reach. Out.
The problem with shame is that the more silent you stay, the more shame you draw towards yourself. And the longer you keep the secret, the longer the shame hangs around.
