The Scarlet Edit - Divorce. Affairs. Situationships. Rewritten.

The Scarlet Edit is where we get real about divorce, affairs, situationships, infidelity, and everything else that’s often swept under the rug in today’s dating world. No shame, no judgment - just the truth. I’m Nikki Corbett. I’ve been divorced, had an affair, and lived through a heartbreaking situationship - experiences that prove there’s more to modern relationships than what we’re taught. On this podcast, we dive deep into the raw realities of love, emotional intimacy, power dynamics, painful endings, and fresh starts. If you’re tired of cookie-cutter love stories and want something that speaks to the real truth of what we’re living through, this is your place. If you’ve ever felt like your relationship journey doesn’t fit the traditional mold, you're not alone. You deserve to be seen, heard, and loved. No exceptions. This podcast is for anyone who’s ever questioned their worth, fought to rewrite their own story, or felt the sting of a love that didn’t fit the fairytale. You are not defined by your past choices. You are allowed to want more, and you deserve a life that's full of the real, genuine love you crave. So grab a drink, settle in and enjoy. The Scarlet Edit was created by me, for you. 🔐 Join our Patreon Community for live Q&A's, more in depth conversations, connection with others who have been in your shoes, and so much more. https://www.patreon.com/c/thescarletedit/ ❤️🔥 Connect with The Scarlet Edit on Social! https://www.instagram.com/thescarlet.edit https://youtube.com/@thescarletedit https://www.threads.com/@thescarlet.edit For Collaboration and Business inquiries: 💌 Email: teamnikkicorbett@gmail.com

I was 24 years old on 9/11. Like so many Americans, I’ll never forget where I was, what I saw, or how it felt to come together with neighbors and strangers in a moment of shared grief. That unity shaped me — and I’ve carried it with me ever since.

This year, remembrance collided with tragedy as news broke of Charlie Kirk’s murder. I didn’t know him personally, but I followed his work for years, and I broke down in tears at the sense...
