The Day She Stopped Hiding | Episode 5 - My Soulmate Named Adel Series

from ReFraming Life · host Kent Waugh

For years, my wife Adel hid new clothes in the trunk of her car — not because she couldn't afford them, but because a previous partner had shamed her for wanting them. She only spent her own money. She earned more than he did. And still, shame found a way in. It followed her into our relationship before she ever said a word about it. In this episode, I share the small acts of trust that slowly undid that shame, the joint accounts we opened early, the bedroom fashion shows she'd put on just for me, and a Las Vegas afternoon that ended with a $10,000 slot machine jackpot, a pair of Jimmy Choo boots, and one of the most quietly beautiful moments of our life together. The real win that night wasn't the money.
