Let’s discuss some of the basics if you are going through infidelity. This post can be helpful for either partner in this, so feel free to share it. Infidelity is a deeply painful and complex issue that has the potential to profoundly impact relationships and individuals involved. Its prevalence and consequences make it an important topic of discussion. In this blog post, we delve into the various aspects of infidelity, aiming to shed light on its causes, effects, and the path towards healing and growth.

As the 3 year mark of my mom’s passing comes soon, I wanted to share a memory that I have with her. It is one of the last one’s we shared, the night before she died.

Grieving is on my mind today. It's one of those days where grief is present, heavy, and asking me to sit in its vast atmosphere of pain. I like to think of grief as a new lifelong friend. One that is quite unpredictable and erratic, though. But a friend nonetheless, that I learn from and grow with.

If someone is cheated on, by societal standards they are expected to instantly leave that person/relationship, level up their life by working out and buying a whole new wardrobe, and easily finding love again with a new and better person. And if this is what happened to you, then that is incredible! But for most people, it isn't. There is more nuance and complexity in the aftermath of infidelity that unless you've gone through it, you might not truly realize. Most will be forced to wrestle with a thick layer of shock and confusion descends upon them, with a whole array of new feelings that they have never felt before. Revenge is often one of them.

I have said it once and I will say it again: no one can go through the aftermath of betrayal on their own. It requires a lot of different types of help. I'm a big believer in being open minded to all sorts of different healing modalities. Whether that is talk therapy, community support groups (contact me for information on these!), plant medicine, a night out with friends, art expression, meditation, movement, dance, coaching, breathwork, aromatherapy-- anything and everything that calls to you is something that is worth exploring.
