Diane: I'm Married and Have Had Emotional Affairs Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

Is it really cheating? If you haven't actually done anything? But it's clear, that it can be very dangerous to get involved in.An emotional affair generally starts innocently enough as a friendship. But when a person invests significant emotional energy and time in a close friendship outside of their marriage, it's possible for the friendship to form an emotional bond that ultimately threatens and hurts the person's intimacy with their spouse or partner.

While there are those who believe that an emotional affair is harmless given that there is no sexual relationship, most marriage and relationship experts view it as a form of cheating. Emotional affairs can also act as gateway affairs, eventually leading to both emotional and sexual infidelity. For many, the most hurtful and painful consequence of a partner's emotional cheating is the sense of being deceived, betrayed, and lied to.

Crystal: I Am An Incest Survivor Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

Crystal was born and raised in Puerto Rico. When she was just 14, she got pregnant. Her very religious mother called their priest, and she was married to her 16-year-old boyfriend and the father of her child. The marriage didn't last; at 16, she asked to move to the states with her biological father. For years, he groomed her to be his wife and the mother of his child. And by the time she was 19, he took things too far.

Trigger warning - topics include incest and sexual abuse; listener discretion is advised.

Mark: Stop Body Shaming, I Like When My Man Gains Weight Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

It’s not a fetish. Not there’s anything wrong with fetishes. It’s just that Mark has always loved to be with men who weren’t “fit” or had the “great body,” instead, he appreciated a man with a bit of weight on them. It sounds like a good deal for someone who doesn’t follow the diet fads to stay in shape or lose weight, but what if the partner isn’t comfortable with the extra weight, then what?

Erin Tennant: I Lost 130 Pounds By Working On Why I Ate, Not From a Diet Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

From an early age, Erin never received the tools to deal with her emotions, so she used food to do that. Raised in a culture that celebrated food but shamed her for being overweight at eight years old, she constantly worked on food restrictions and diets while her weight continually went up and down. She recently lost 130 pounds, but not by dieting by working on the issues that caused her to eat from the start.

Hannah: I Attempted Suicide at Seventeen, Just 2 Years After My Mom's Suicide Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

Hannah’s mom struggled with depression and drug addiction. The two were completely enmeshed; they were more like best friends than mother and daughter. Because of that, Hannah had very little supervision or rules. It wasn’t long after Hannah’s mother was sent to jail for having an affair with Hannah’s 17-year-old boyfriend that she took her life. At the funeral, Hannah met her father for the first time. The following two years were the darkest she’d ever experienced.

*Trigger Warning: Please note that this episode contains topics of suicide and sexual abuse. Some people may find it disturbing.

Ashley: I'm an Alcoholic and Went to Jail Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

As a child, Ashley saw how alcoholism affected her uncle and father, who got sober when she was two. But she heard the stories and swore she’d never be an alcoholic. Many of us have similar thoughts when we’re young, but the disease is still in us, and even though she started later in life, it was as if she had always been drinking. Within just two years, Ashley was a heavy drinker, getting DUIs, getting arrested, losing jobs, and ending up in jail for four months.
