Wake Up or Break Up!
What do you do when “happily ever after” blows up in your face?
For me, I decided to break the cycle of silence and share my awkward story of infidelity, separation and making marriage work after betrayal. Join me each week as I explore the pain and pleasure of second chances. It’s time to WAKE UP or BREAK UP!
Note from the host: The stories shared on this podcast are real, and the outcomes will vary from person to person. I’m not here you give you the magic formula to fix broken relationships (I don’t know if one exists). I’m here to encourage you to seek support (socially, emotionally, psychologically), to deeply explore your thoughts and emotions, and to find meaningful ways to process and move forward from your experience. Healing and forgiveness take time, and they are not always complete. Be patient with yourself and your process. Good luck beautiful listener! ❤️
Wake Up or Break Up!
Season 2 Intro: I'm Baaaack...And I Brought Friends!
Prior to getting cheated on, I thought I only had ONE OPTION if someone ever cheated on me, and that was divorce. After reading the stories of strangers and friends who had been cheated on, I quickly realized there were multiple possibilities. There were stories of making things work, walking away, seeking revenge, and starting over. Although the circumstances were similar, the end results were different. There was no rhyme or reason to why people chose what they did. They simply chose what they thought was best.
For Season 2, and maybe for the entirety of this podcast, I want to normalize the concept of possibility and choice for life after infidelity. Whether someone decides to stay, walk away, find someone new, or swear off relationships forever, I want to celebrate the power of the journey and not just the outcome.
If you have a powerful story of infidelity or know of someone who does, please email me at wakeupelsie@gmail.com. I'd love to have you on a future podcast! And please know, these interviews are totally open to people who were cheated on, who did the cheating, or someone who was involved as the "other person." I want to represent the full spectrum of the human perspective.
I hope you'll follow my personal journey on Instagram at @wakeupelsie and check out my coaching page at www.wakeupyourpassion.com.
Cheers to a Season of New Beginnings!
