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!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
