Cheating, one-night stands, broken trust, and the emotional rollercoaster that follows - Oh yes we’re going there. 

In this week’s episode of Quarter-Life Questions we’re asking Can I forgive a cheating partner? Not an easy question at all, which is why we’re joined by psychotherapist, life coach and author Lucy Beresford to break down this difficult topic and whether trust can be rebuilt or whether it’s better to call it a day. 


In this episode, we cover:

  • How to define cheating from liking an instagram picture to emotional affairs 
  • Why people cheat — and no, it’s not always about sex
  • How to know if there’s something there worth salvaging 
  • Overcoming ‘Trust Issues’ and rebuilding trust (with others AND with yourself) 
  • Knowing your worth and not settling for less than you deserve
