I Told the World I Was the Other Woman. I Still Feel Boxed In.

A year ago I was trying to figure out how to tell the world I'd spent five years as the other woman in a relationship with a married man. I shared it. I built a whole podcast around it. And the response from other women has been everything I hoped it would be. But somewhere along the way, I boxed myself in — overthinking what to post, how to show up, how to be more than that one chapter of my life. A conversation with my business coach helped some things click into place this week, and I want to talk about where I landed.I read the brand new description I wrote for The Scarlet Edit — the one that finally captures who I am, what this show is about, and who it's for. I also get into something I believe strongly: that affairs are a symptom, not the problem. The curiosity around infidelity exists because we never hear these stories while they're happening — we only hear about them when they become scandals. I share some of the messages I've gotten from women who found the show and felt less alone because of it, and I talk about what it's like to date when your affair story is now very, very Googleable.This episode is for the woman who knows she's more than one decision, one relationship, or one part of her past — and is done letting that define her.🍒 Interested in working with me?
