Description
I was the other woman for five years. He was married. It wasn't the plan — but it happened, and it changed everything about how I see love, relationships, and myself.
The Scarlet Edit is my podcast. I started it because I was tired of carrying my story in silence and I knew I wasn't the only one. This is where I talk about affairs, infidelity, cheating, divorce, and starting over — without shame, without the moral lectures, and without pretending that love and relationships fit into the neat little boxes everyone wants them to.
I'm Nikki Corbett. I've been the other woman. I've been divorced. I've been in the situationship that made me question everything. And now I'm on the other side of all of it — figuring out what I actually want, who I actually am, and what love looks like when you stop performing and start being honest.
Every Thursday, I share what I'm learning, what I'm living, and what I'm still figuring out. Sometimes that's a solo episode where I go deep on my own experience — falling in love with a married man, the loneliness of affairs, the grief that comes after you walk away from something that wasn't yours to keep. Sometimes it's a conversation with a guest who has been through their own version of the mess — narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships, divorce in midlife, secret relationships, or the slow process of rebuilding after everything falls apart.
This show is for the woman who has been the other woman and never had a safe place to talk about it. For the woman going through a divorce she didn't see coming. For the woman stuck in a marriage that looks fine on the outside but feels dead on the inside. For the woman who is dating again after years and has no idea what she's doing. For the woman who is choosing to be alone and is learning that solo doesn't mean lonely. And for anyone who has ever been told that their story makes them less worthy of love — it doesn't.
I don't have all the answers. I'm not a therapist. I'm just a woman who decided to stop being quiet about the things we're all going through but nobody wants to say out loud. If you've ever thought "am I the only one?" — you're not. Pull up a chair. Let's talk about it.

I responded to every YouTube comment I got about my affair. Of the comments I share in this episode, only one person wrote me back. So, let's talk about it!This week I'm reading eight comments out loud and giving my unfiltered responses. One person told me 90% of men will cheat no matter what. Another called me a toy who was manipulated. Someone told me I need God. And the longest comment asked what I'd do if it happened to me.I talk about why I don't perform regret for strangers, why I still believe infidelity is a symptom and not the problem, and why none of us actually know what we'd do in a situation until we're living it. I also push back on the idea that being kept a secret means you weren't loved, because I disagree completely.If you left one of these comments, come back. Let's keep the conversation going.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
Why do smart, successful people end up in affairs — and then can't leave? What's actually driving the pattern? And how do you know if you're settling or self-sabotaging?In this episode, I sit down with Katarina Polonska — behavioral scientist, executive relationship strategist, and someone whose own family was torn apart by infidelity. Katarina watched her father's affair destroy her parents' marriage, then found herself repeating the exact same pattern in her own engagement. That wake-up call led her to build a methodology that's now helped hundreds of high performers break the cycle.We get into the subconscious fear that keeps high performers trapped in double lives, why traditional therapy kept Katarina going in circles for 15 years, what it actually takes to know whether you should stay or go, and why only about 4% of affair relationships survive the transition — and what the ones that make it have in common.Whether you're the one being betrayed, the one doing the betraying, or the other woman wondering where you fit in all of this — this conversation will challenge how you think about every relationship you're in.Guest: Katarina Polonska — Behavioral Scientist, Executive Relationship Strategist, Founder of Successfully in Love®LinkedIn: Katarina PolonskaNew episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
Kristin Cabot — the woman from the Coldplay Kiss Cam — finally told her side of the story on Oprah's podcast. She was already separated. He told her he was too. But only one of them got death threats, drive-bys, and 500 calls a day.90% of the hate came from other women. Every single in-person confrontation — a woman.I talk about what Kristin revealed, the double standard between how she and Andy Byron were treated, why we judge affairs so harshly, and why women tearing down other women is the part of this story that should bother all of us.This one's a call for collective grace — and a promise to do better.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
There's a stat that gets cited everywhere in the infidelity space — that 56% of men and 34% of women who cheat rate their marriages as happy.It shows up in therapy blogs, Reddit threads, podcasts, and articles, and it's used to push the narrative that cheating is random and unpredictable.I'm calling BS. Not on the data itself, but on what people are doing with it.In this episode, I break down why self-reporting is flawed, why "happy" has become a dangerously low bar, and why I firmly believe that nobody wakes up and decides to have an affair.I also tie in data from my Ashley Madison episode, challenge myself on my own belief that happiness is a choice, and share why I think the people who actually do the work in their relationships are the ones who don't end up with cracks. If you've ever heard "it could happen to anyone" and thought that sounded like a cop-out — this one's for you.Related episode: The Truth About Affairs: Sexless Marriages, Emotional Validation, and Modern LoveNew episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
I actively choose happiness and joy every single day — and the more I share that, the more it seems to confuse people.In this episode, I'm getting into the mindset behind everything I do on The Scarlet Edit. Why positivity is my baseline, how my upbringing shaped me in ways that defy the stereotypes people project onto women like me, and the specific moments in my life — from my divorce at 38 to ending a five-year affair to a situationship that wrecked me — that brought me to the decision to stop letting anyone else dictate my emotions.I also talk about the moment in a hotel bathroom in Greece where I said "I value myself" out loud, why controlling only what I can control has been the single biggest contributor to my happiness, and the origin story of how The Scarlet Edit came to be — from a rough talk at a retreat in Austin to the lightbulb moment that changed everything.Plus, I address shame head-on, share a wild YouTube comment exchange, and explain why the expectation that I should feel ashamed says more about society than it does about me.If you've been wondering how to get to the other side of shame, grief, or starting over — this is the episode.Related episode: The Role of Shame in Divorce, Affairs & Betrayal | Dr. Zoe ShawNew episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
Ashley Madison just rebranded — and 57% of their new users are single. I break down what that means and why dating app fatigue is pushing people toward discretion.Then I go somewhere I haven’t gone before: the waiting.What it actually feels like to wait for a married man to leave his wife. The holidays alone, the phone that doesn’t ring, the stories you tell yourself to make it feel normal, and the moment I finally said I’m done.If you’ve ever Googled “waiting for a married man to leave” and found nothing but shame and judgment, this episode is for you.I’m sharing my experience — the real version, not the Reddit version. Because you deserve to hear from someone who’s actually been there.Key TakeawaysWaiting for a married man to leave is one of the most Googled phrases in the affair space — and every top result is shame, judgment, or a sales pitch. This episode exists to change that.The loneliness of being the other woman isn’t just about being alone on holidays. It’s about having the biggest thing in your life and not being able to share it with anyone.“Just leave” is the worst advice you can give someone in this situation. Emotional bonds don’t have an off switch. Instead, leave the door open for her to talk without judgment.The stories we tell ourselves — “he’ll choose me eventually,” “it’s only a matter of time” — feel real because the love feels real. That doesn’t make the situation right for you.You deserve to be chosen from the start. Not eventually. Not after the kids are older. Not after the holidays. From the start.Related episode: My conversation with Ashley Madison’s Chief Strategy Officer, Paul KeableNew episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
A year ago I was struggling with how to share my story with the world — I was the other woman in a five-year relationship with a married man, while I felt no shame, it was the secret I carried for years. And now, a year into The Scarlet Edit, I realized I've unintentionally put myself in a new kind of box.This episode is me getting honest about that. I talk about what happened after I shared my biggest secret, why I've been struggling with what to post and how to show up, and how a conversation with my business coach helped some things click into place.I also read the brand new description I wrote for The Scarlet Edit — and honestly, I got emotional reading it. It finally captures who I am, what this show is, and who it's for.If you've ever felt like you're more than the one chapter of your life people want to define you by — this one's for you.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
Henry VIII had six wives. One wife for 24 years, then five more in the next 11. He was pursuing the next woman while still married to the current one every single time — and he was running an entire country while doing it. So much for "I'm too busy."In this episode of Affairs Through the Ages, I'm walking through every wife, every affair, and the pattern that never changed. From the annulment that broke England away from the Catholic Church to the teenager who was beheaded at 18, this story is wild. But what really got me is the women — in a world where they had no legal rights, no property, and no ability to say no to a king, they still found a way to play the game. And some of them played it brilliantly.I also dig into what was actually going on with Henry — the jousting accident that may have caused a traumatic brain injury, the 32-inch waist that became a 52-inch waist, and how unchecked power turned a golden prince into a tyrant.In This Episode:Who Henry was before the monster and what changedHis mistresses before the six wives (and why they matter)All six wives: the affairs, the strategies, and what each one reveals about HenryThe annulment that created the Church of EnglandWhy "if he wanted to, he would" has been true for 500 yearsResearch for this episode draws on biographical and historical sources including Britannica, Historic Royal Palaces, History.com, Royal Museums Greenwich, and published works by Tracy Borman, Elizabeth Norton, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsley, David Starkey, and Alison Weir.

Is Love is Blind actually proving that love IS blind — or is it proving the exact opposite?After nine completed seasons, the data tells a pretty damning story: 55 engagements, only 14 marriages, and a 43% divorce rate.In this episode, I break down the surprising parallels between what happens in the pods and how emotional affairs actually work — the deep connections with multiple people, comparing partners, fantasy access, keeping the door cracked open, and what happens when reality finally sets in.I also unpack why physical attraction matters more than the show wants to admit, call out the double standard between how we judge reality TV behavior vs. real life, and share a raw, unplanned personal revelation about exclusivity in my own past relationship.Whether you're a Love is Blind fan or not, this episode will make you think differently about emotional connection, fantasy, and what it actually takes for love to survive reality.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
On January 9, 2019, the richest man in the world announced his divorce. One day later, a tabloid story detonated across the internet — exposing a months-long affair between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, complete with leaked texts, private jet travel, and a global media frenzy.In this episode of Affairs Through the Ages, I break down one of the most infamous modern affairs — not to condone it, and not to judge it — but to examine how it unfolded, why it didn’t collapse immediately, and how it became one of the rare affairs that actually turned into marriage.This episode explores:How Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez met through professional aviation work at Amazon StudiosThe quiet unraveling of both marriages before the affair became publicThe role of National Enquirer, alleged blackmail, and the unprecedented Medium post that exposed it allThe betrayal that came from inside Lauren Sanchez’s own familyWhy less than 2% of affairs turn into lasting marriages — and what made this one differentI also examine the broader realities behind affairs that survive public exposure: wealth, timing, maturity, shared interests, clean divorces, and the difference between fantasy and real life once secrecy disappears.Affairs Through the Ages is a historical and cultural examination of affairs that played out in the public eye — not a defense of infidelity, and not a moral verdict — but an honest look at what actually happens when private relationships collide with power, money, and global scrutiny.If you’re interested in modern relationships, infidelity, divorce, power dynamics, and what happens after the secret comes out, this series is for you.Research for this episode includes reporting from The Washington Post, CNN, NBC News, NPR, Fox Business, The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes, Vogue, and The Wall Street Journal. Jeff Bezos's Medium post "No Thank You, Mr. Pecker" provided firsthand account of the blackmail attempt. Additional sources include court documents from the Bezos-Scott and Sanchez-Whitesell divorce proceedings, federal prosecutor statements regarding the National Enquirer investigation, and MacKenzie Scott's philanthropic disclosures via her Giving Pledge commitments and Yield Giving website.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
What do you do when you realize—on your wedding day—that you shouldn’t be getting married?In this episode of The Scarlet Edit, I sit down with Emily Kuch, a content creator and Pilates instructor, to talk about one of the bravest decisions a person can make: calling off a wedding at the last possible moment.After nearly ten years together and months of wedding planning, Emily found herself standing in full hair and makeup, overlooking the ocean in Hawaii, facing a truth she couldn’t ignore. Instead of walking down the aisle, she chose herself.We talk about:Knowing something is wrong but feeling trapped by expectationsThe pressure of destination weddings, vendors, guests, and sunk costsTrusting your gut when everyone else’s opinions are louder than your ownWhat happens after you call everything offStarting over with no home, no job, and no clear planRebuilding identity after a long-term relationshipWhy talk therapy isn’t always the first or best stepUsing travel, movement, and discomfort as healing toolsLetting go of shame and outside judgmentLearning how to make decisions on your own againThis is a conversation about courage, self-trust, and redefining what strength actually looks like when your life doesn’t go according to plan.If you’ve ever questioned a relationship, stayed because it felt too hard to leave, or wondered what would happen if you chose yourself—this episode is for you.Get in touch with Emily on TikTok & InstagramNew episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
By the time Ava Gardner was 30, she'd been married three times. In 1950s America, that meant you were supposed to disappear in shame. But Ava didn't disappear—she became a legend.In this episode of Affairs Through the Ages, I'm diving into Ava Gardner's story. From dirt-poor farm girl in North Carolina to Hollywood icon, from three marriages before 30 to never marrying again—Ava wrote her own rules when the world wanted to write her off.This isn't just Frank Sinatra's affair story. This is about what Ava was searching for, why even "the love of her life" wasn't enough to make her stay, and how she became The Scarlet Edit OG before this podcast even existed.In This Episode:Ava's journey from Grabtown, North Carolina to MGM at 18Marriage #1: Mickey Rooney and learning fame ≠ faithfulnessMarriage #2: Artie Shaw and refusing to be someone's projectThe Frank Sinatra affair and what it meant to be the other womanWhy she left the "love of her life" and never married againLiving loudly with insecurity and rewriting the narrativeKey Takeaway: Figuring out what you don't want is just as important as figuring out what you do.

I never randomly called my boyfriend during our entire relationship. Not because he told me not to—it just became normal. I also never saw him on weekends, never brought him around friends, and kept everything secret. These toxic relationship habits felt completely reasonable when I was in the affair.After it ended, I fell right into a secretive situationship because those patterns had become so familiar. In this episode, I'm sharing how affairs normalize unhealthy relationship behaviors, why power dynamics and age gaps make it worse, and how I finally recognized I deserved more.If you've ever wondered why certain relationship red flags felt normal or why you accepted less than you deserved, this one's for you.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
I'm launching my new signature series, Affairs Through the Ages, and I couldn't think of a better way to kick it off than with arguably the biggest affair of the 20th century: Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.This isn't just a retelling of the scandal. I dive deep into Monica's background and uncover something I never knew - she was already involved with a married man before she ever got to Washington. That first affair with her high school drama teacher shaped everything that came after.I explore how Monica went from a 22-year-old intern to a global punchline, why the power dynamics made this relationship so problematic, and the devastating double standard that left her unable to work for a decade while Clinton remained beloved and powerful.I also look at where Monica is now, because this is what The Scarlet Edit is all about. She reclaimed her story, launched her own podcast, and is using her experience to help others navigate public shaming and trauma.This episode asks the hard questions: Was Monica groomed? Could this affair have been prevented? And why did she pay such a devastating price while he walked away unscathed?Topics discussed:Monica Lewinsky's affair with her married high school teacherHow past relationship patterns influenced her relationship with ClintonThe 27-year age gap and power imbalanceLinda Tripp's betrayal and secret recordingsThe media circus and global public shamingClinton's impeachment and acquittalMonica's PTSD, unemployment, and rebuildingHer current work in anti-bullying advocacy and podcastingRate this episode five stars on Apple Podcasts and let me know what you think of this new series!New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com

In this solo episode, I challenge one of the most commonly repeated relationship mantras: "once a cheater, always a cheater."Drawing from research and my personal experience, I explore why this phrase is not only inaccurate but potentially harmful. I break down the critical difference between serial cheaters and situational affairs, share surprising statistics about infidelity recurrence, and discuss how society weaponizes the "cheater" label—especially against women.In this episode:The data behind who cheats again (and who doesn't)Serial cheaters vs. one-time affairs: key differencesWhy people who've been cheated on are 2x more likely to be cheated on againHow "the other woman" gets unfairly labeledWhy I believe people can change (though it's hard)My personal reflections on being the other woman and growing beyond that identityIf you've ever been affected by infidelity or have strong opinions about cheating, this episode will give you a lot to think about.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
Welcome to the first solo episode of 2026 and Season Two of The Scarlet Edit.In this episode, I’m sharing two important things:The direction of the podcast in 2026, based entirely on listener dataA powerful dating concept you need to understand this year: Fantasy AccessI break down what the data has made crystal clear. You want honest conversations about affairs, divorce, shame, starting over, and emotional healing. Those episodes resonate because they make people feel seen, less alone, and understood. And in 2026, we’re leaning into them even more.I also introduce Fantasy Access, a term that explains why certain dating dynamics feel confusing, emotionally draining, and stuck. Fantasy access shows up when someone maintains emotional proximity to you without showing up in real life. Likes, story views, low-effort texts, vague interest — without dates, commitment, or clarity.In this episode, I explain:What fantasy access is and how it shows up in modern datingWhy fantasy access benefits emotionally unavailable peopleHow social media and online dating amplify emotional confusionWhy attention is not the same as intentionHow to cut off fantasy access without confrontationWhy neutrality and boundaries are the most powerful responseIf you’re single, dating in midlife, navigating divorce, or tired of entertaining emotionally unavailable men, this episode will help you start 2026 with clarity, self-respect, and stronger boundaries.Topics CoveredAffairs, divorce, shame, and starting overEmotional availability in datingDating after divorce in your 40sBoundaries and self-worthFantasy access and unearned emotional proximityWhy being alone is better than being misledListen if you’re ready to stop confusing attention for effort and start choosing yourself.New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com

Merry Christmas, and Happy Hanukkah!This episode of The Scarlet Edit is here for you whenever you need it — today, next week, or months from now.In this short and sweet solo episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite end-of-year traditions: creating an annual playlist to capture where I am in my life. Music has a way of holding memory in a way nothing else can. You might forget moments or seasons, but a song can bring you right back — exactly where you were, exactly how you felt.I talk about how music played a meaningful role in a past relationship, how that evolved into creating yearly playlists, and how those playlists became markers of growth, healing, and new beginnings. From 23 Choosing Me to 24 Do More to 25 New Life, each year left its own soundtrack behind.I also talk about rest — real rest — and why it’s essential for creativity, clarity, and perspective. Whether or not you think of yourself as creative, you are. Sometimes the best ideas come when we stop trying so hard.This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, rest, and maybe even start your own soundtrack for the year ahead.Thank you for spending part of your Christmas with me. I’m grateful for you, always.Mentioned in this episode:The Scarlet Edit Listener Breakup Playlist (available on Apple Music and Spotify)New episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com
