Episode 1: Why I Left

Episode 1: Why I LeftLeaving a marriage is one of the hardest decisions a person can make. But for a lot of women, the hardest part isn't the leaving - it's the years before it, quietly wondering if what they're experiencing is real, or if they're the problem.In this first episode, Rachel talks about the decision to leave: what it actually looks and feels like from the inside, the difference between a marriage that's hard and one that's genuinely damaging, and why so many women wait so long - not because they're weak, but because they're trying to be sure.If you've ever questioned your own memory of what's happening in your home, if you've ever felt smaller coming out of a conversation than you did going in, if you've ever wondered whether the version of your future that excites you is allowed to not include him - this episode is for you.This is where Breaking Upward begins.
