Believe You are Enough!
You are more powerful than you think! You can be truly happy–even if you don’t think so now. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes you need someone to show you the way. I have been there…I can walk with you and show you a better way, a way where you trust yourself, your instincts, and others.
You are strong enough! You are worth enough! YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Realizing how much work it takes to heal or navigate life with an addict can feel overwhelming and lonely. I am here to tell you – you are not alone. There is hope and healing available, if you choose to invest in yourself.
I did not grow up thinking I would be the wife of an addict or that I would have a (now ex) husband who was unfaithful. No one prepared me for that. So, when I discovered my ex-husband’s infidelity and pornography addiction, the shock and fear were debilitating. I was confused–not knowing how I felt, or not really feeling at all. Even my faith in God wavered, and I felt shame from that.
I was left wondering what to do and unsure where to begin. I remember believing that if he would just change and get better, then I would feel better. I now understand that feeling better is not contingent on his choices, and neither was my healing.

Today was one of those days where, it just is what it is. So we recorded an episode exactly where we were at emotionally!
No matter where you are in your healing, healing is possible. And finding the right support, can be huge in this process.
Sometimes when things are not going as planned, we lose our trust in men, in friends, in clergy, in God, and in ourselves. I often hear women say, “I just don’t trust anyone.”
What if… you honored what your brain is doing – trying to protect you and help you see there is a reason to not trust. What if… it’s okay not to trust right now. What if… you just allowed yourself to honor the space you are in rather than thinking you have to or are supposed to be trusting.
The truth is, you are a trusting person and you had someone take advantage of that trust. Right now, its okay to allow space to just get your bearings again, to get a better grip on your own reality, and then… then we start the work of learning to trust again.
And guess what? It begins with trusting yourself!
No more second guessing your gut instinct. You CAN be in a place where you are so in tune with your body, your thoughts, and your feelings that you learn to trust again.
