While Dave is gearing up for back-to-school, I’m stepping into something new, too. On September 9, the Breathe Again Masterclass begins. My prayer is that it will give women like you space to release the shame and pain betrayal has piled on—and take real steps toward freedom. In this small, confidential circle, you don’t have to explain why it hurts. The women beside you already understand. Imagine the relief of finally being able to breathe again—of being seen, heard, and safe. No more hiding. No more pretending. Just honest conversations, real help, and practical ways forward. Will you join us?
Psalm 116:1–2 has been a sweet reminder: He hears you. He bends close. And He won’t leave you here. 🙏🏻 May I pray for you? Dear God, you promise Reader your presence and peace. Always. Yet, sometimes life overwhelms Reader. Please encourage her today. If she feels afraid to seek help with her betrayal pain, provide the courage to take one step forward. Thank you that you do not leave Reader trapped. You do provide a way through and out for Reader. You are so good, God. Amen. |

In that weariness, God reminded me to come to him through another wise woman’s text message, which pointed me to Colossians 1:11-12 NLT We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will...
Happy Labor Day if you live in the United States. Maybe, like me, you’re realizing that summer adventures often take more energy than they give. Dave and I discovered recently that we don’t vacation very well—most of ours have something to do with work. That’s why we declared this long weekend “Unlabor Day.” A chance to step back, breathe, and simply be. And we will plan a true vacation for 2026. 😉 Stay tuned. Consider The Breathe Again Masterclass begins on September 9. Consider joining this...
One of the cruelest side effects of betrayal is how it attacks your identity. Even if you don’t say it out loud, you wonder: What did I do wrong? Why wasn’t I enough? Friend, I see you. And I want you to hear this clearly: His betrayal is not a reflection of your worth. Consider When someone you love breaks trust, it shakes everything—including your sense of self. You might start picking yourself apart, blaming yourself, or questioning everything about who you are. But the truth is:You didn’t...
