Welcome to the Affair Podcast. I'm Anna Williamson. Now, if you don't know me, I'm a relationship

therapist, coach and TV personality. Now, this podcast will unveil the secrets behind modern day affairs as we

explore everything from emotional affairs to rebuilding trust after betrayal. One in five people

have admitted to having an affair. But it's a topic that rarely explored and remains taboo because

it sparks such powerful emotions and judgments. Each episode features a different real-life affair story told by the people involved and

offers insights into the emotions, causes and consequences of infidelity in today's world.

From the motivations behind affairs to the impact on relationships, we'll uncover the raw truth behind one of the

most painful aspects of human relationships. So without further ado, let's meet today's guest.

And it's not embarrassing.

It's not shameful.
