Heather thought her family life was normal. But over time, she uncovered two buried traumas that quietly shaped her childhood—and required deep healing.
Years later, as a newlywed, another wound came to light: her husband’s secret porn addiction. It shattered her—but it also became the turning point for restoration. Heather now calls it both the worst day and the best day of her life.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Why she didn’t leave, and the non-negotiable conditions she set to even consider staying
- Her advice for women facing the same gut-wrenching discovery, and for young people who just found out about a parent's addiction or affair
- Her biggest lesson for anyone from a dysfunctional family—and the practical steps she recommends to start healing
If you’ve ever found yourself wounded or betrayed, wondering if healing and restoration is possible, this episode is for you.
