    Episode 14: Showing Support

    In episode 14, I talk about a couple of incidences in which I had panic attacks - what I was feeling and how it impacted relationships with acquaintances. I also discuss the support that I wish I would have received from those around me. As the life continues to move forward, others expect you to do the same. It's not so easy moving forward after experiencing a traumatic event and betrayal and abandonment are traumatic experiences. Family, friends and others in our lives need to give us time and loads of support.  Don't forget to give me feedback wherever you listen to this podcast. It means a lot to me and helps others find the podcast.  Where to find me!

    Episode 13: Regrets and Renewal

    In Episode 13, I discuss a couple of things that I did right after the bomb drop that I now regret. Let's just say that agreeing to buy a motorcycle probably wasn't one of the best decisions I made. I also examine the "why" behind doing what I did as well as suggestions for not doing something you may regret later. I also cover my own journey of renewal - where I am at right now in this process.  I read a quote from Thich Nhat Hahn's book, "Fear: Essential Wisdom for Getting Through the Storm, in this episode. This book was critically important for me last year as I worked through major fear of the unknown.  Remember to leave me a review to help other people find me!

    Episode 12: Interview with Vikki Stark

    In this episode, I interview Vikki Stark, author of Runaway Husbands: The Abandoned Wife's Guide to Recovery and Renewal. Vikki shares her own story of being an abandoned wife and what led her to researching and then writing the book. She discusses the ambivalence and anger that runaway husbands show towards their abandoned wives. In many cases, men who abandon are in other relationships prior to the abandonment. She provides advice on helping kids (both younger kids and adult children) getting through this event. She also covers the real life physical impact that women experience when going through this traumatic event. She provides tips on stopping the obsessive thoughts that women have after the abandonment and not getting stuck in the healing process. She also offers advice on dealing with the other woman when there are kids involved.  Where to find Vikki Stark: Runaway Husbands Website E-mail Vikki: vikki@runawayhusbands.com Where to find Christal: Facebook group: Overcomer with Christal Website: It's Never too Late to Try Instagram: I_am_Christal_Hall E-mail: mschristal.hall@gmail.com

    Episode 11: Interview with Regina Gulbinas Part 2

    This is an episode which discusses domestic violence. If you are triggered by this, you may wish to skip this episode. Domestic violence can happen to anyone. No body deserves to be physically, emotionally or psychologically abused. That's why it is so important to pay attention to early indicators of this type of behavior.  This is the second part of the interview with business woman Regina Gulbinas. In this part of the interview, Regina discusses the early red flags that her ex husband exhibited. She goes into more detail about why ignoring those early signs led her into a marriage in which there was domestic violence. She shares her story of what finally led her to leave her marriage and the battle she had to undertake in order to prevent her husband from leaving the country with their two children. If you are a victim of domestic violence, there is help for you by going to the Domestic Violence website. You can also call 1-800-799-7233 if you are in the US.

    Episode 9: Mother's Day

    Mother's Day may be difficult for some if this is the first (or second or third) one you are spending without your husband. For me, this is my second Mother's Day that I'm spending on my own. I share thoughts about this holiday when I was with my ex-husband and the plans I've made for this year's. My bottom line is do self-care in the way you need to do it for yourself.  Also, I'm moving my podcast to dropping on Mondays, which I explain in this episode as well.  Thank you for listening and please be sure to leave me feedback and share with anyone who you think might find this helpful.  Where to find me: Facebook group: Overcomer with Christal Website: It's Never too Late to Try Instagram: I_am_Christal_Hall E-mail: mschristal.hall@gmail.com

    Episode 8: Decisions

    Episode 8 covers decisions I had to make as I worked through the end of the marriage. The first decision I discuss is what I did after the ex said that we were done. I discuss turning to websites that cover reconciliation in the face of infidelity and why it was one that I eventually turned away from. Then I discuss my second decision in which I finally asked him to leave. Please let me know how I'm doing. I would love feedback! Also, are there topics you want me to cover? Please e-mail me at mschristal.hall@gmail.com if there is something you want me to cover. Leave feedback wherever you listen to me!

    Episode 7: Overcoming Challenges

    In today's episode, I share my tips on overcoming challenges that you are facing. The first part is dealing with getting through the early days after the bombdrop. It is easy to obsess over what the other person is doing, so I had to develop tools in order to focus on getting myself back on track. I then describe my current challenges and what I'm doing in order to overcome them. Please leave me feedback! Let me know what you think so far! Also what are some topics you would like to see covered.
