Jen & Brenda are both beautiful, smart, successful professionals whose worlds turned upside down when they discovered sexual betrayal in their marriages. Not one area of their lives was untouched by this crisis.  They both helped Kristin start Women in the Battle in 2016 and recorded this episode in the Fall of 2020. Brenda and Jen kept serving betrayed women as peer facilitators because of how strongly they believe in The Power of the Group to transform women’s lives after sexual betrayal.  Most women who come to Women in the Battle (including Jen and Brenda) are initially VERY resistant to the idea of going to a group.   But well run betrayal trauma groups are such a powerful force of healing for women -leading them from utter devastation to post traumatic transformation.
