Episode notes

On forgiveness: "It doesn't feel good in my body. I don't like it" On the question of whether a person deserves to be forgiven: "Do you deserve that? It has nothing to do with what they've done or what they're doing with it then" And on self-acceptance: "The longer i carry the story, which is this is all your fault, and you have harmed me, and i am pissed, that is a block for me."

1. Why Jen believes none of us is safe from betrayal – but how she knows with certainty it will never happen to her again.

2. The useful part of unforgiveness, the worst thing about forgiveness, and how to know when it’s time to forgive.

3. Brené Brown’s advice to Jen for how to begin rebuilding brick by brick after the life you built implodes.

4. The steps Jen took to learn to trust her body for the first time – and what she calls her body now.

5. What Jen would go back and tell her kids about marriage and divorce if she could do it differently.
