Summary

The length of your marriage. You’ll never forget it. 3 years of holes in the wall. 9 years of sleepless nights. 17 years of pleading. 25 years of silence. 43 years of lowering your standards again and again and again. While the past can't be changed, and that time is set, your recovery is NOT. It has NO LIMIT. It has NO TIMELINE. The depth of your pain and suffering do not outweigh your ability to heal. It all comes down to whether you want it. The evidence? Women like Marie. She found healing and transformation in community—one that's available to you. The Takeaways of Marie’s Story: - What’s more important: How busted up you are or how much you want healing - Why acting like an accountant can speed up your healing - The reason your recovery can stagnate...and what to do about it - Why there’s an application process for the Flying Higher group (it has to do with the toilet) Listen or download the transcript at flyingfreenow.com/132 FREE: I'll send you the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?
