Hey, it's Anne. If you've listened to this podcast, you know I interview women who are dealing with

their husband's lies, anger, or infidelity. I've interviewed over 200 women and counting.

If you relate to anything you hear in this episode, we can help you today. I created our daily

live group sessions because when I was going through it, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't
