Hi everybody and welcome to Coaches Corner. I really love this episode because we're

talking to a woman who wrote a memoir about her 25 year relationship with a husband who

was a functional alcoholic and also was unfaithful. And this is such an important conversation

because I love having experts on and I also really love people who have become by default

and expert in something because of their own personal experience.

You know, the best way to be able to talk about something is if you've walked it and

have been in a relationship with someone who's functional but dysfunctional can be very,

to leave. She had the courage to get out of her marriage even though there was a lot

of love there and she talks about how difficult that was but also the relief that she feels

now that she's on the other side. And relationships can be so tender and so tricky and I know

a lot of you listening, it may have just gotten out of a relationship and may now be looking

for an actual healthy relationship or maybe you've been never been in a relationship and

you're looking for a healthy relationship, one that is free of dysfunction and free of

addiction. I just want to let you know that we're still enrolling for our Be the Queen program.

We did have one class this week but it's easy to get the recording and join us for the rest

of the three months and also be able to join us for the October 12 live retreat. You can

go to christenhousers.com slash be the queen or you can email Jill at christenhousers.com.

It's an amazing program. We are still offering some partial scholarships and payment plans.

So we want to make it work for as many people as possible. I'm so passionate about this program

especially after this interview with Dana. It's really more of a conversation than just

an interview. It's so, so important that we choose healthy partners from the start and
