In this episode, I sat down with women’s coach Diera Story, who, like me, had an affair that changed everything.

We talk about what really sits beneath infidelity when you’re the woman who was supposed to have it all together.

How shame begins long before the betrayal.And how losing everything becomes the moment you finally start to become yourself.

Diera shares how early motherhood cracked her open, how her perfect life began to unravel, and how the affair became the wake-up call she didn’t know she needed.

We talk about the loneliness that hides behind the mask of the “good woman,” the way shame keeps us disconnected from desire, and the painful beauty of rebuilding your life from truth.

We also open up about what happened when both of our reels about infidelity went viral - the trolling, the exposure, and the deep peace that comes when you no longer hide from your story.

This conversation is a mirror for the woman standing in the wreckage of what she’s done, wondering if she can ever come back from it.

You can.

This is where becoming begins.
