How did I get here? In this episode of Her, Rebuilt., I explore the roots of my story—from my mother’s pregnancy, when she was navigating my birth father’s infidelity and alcoholism, to my experience growing up without a dad. I reflect on the core wounds I carried into adulthood, how familiar pain resurfaced in my marriage, and how facing it became part of my healing. This is an honest conversation about understanding our past, recognizing patterns, and remembering that someone else’s betrayal is never our fault.

After years of keeping this part of my life private, I recently shared a painful truth on social media: my husband had been living a double life for three years. In this first episode of Her, Rebuilt., I open up about the secret I carried, the personal healing journey that gave me the courage to speak, and why I’m sharing now—to help others feel less alone and find hope in their own healing.
