Healing After Infidelity vs. Transforming who you Are – How to Set & Communicate Boundaries
So often we hear about healing after infidelity, affair recovery, or healing from betrayal. But do you want to heal, or do you want to transform? Healing means getting back to how you were before, and most of the women I work with want something better than what they had before. Something more honest, more real, and intimate. Interestingly, the most difficult part of “transforming your life” is typically disrupting the status quo and unraveling what is. Which is the gift of betrayal. Betrayal disrupts the status quo and unravels what is, for you. So all that’s left is for you to come back home to who you are and rebuild your life, your way.
Top take-a-ways:
The process of knowing yourself and showing yourself authentically for who you are so you can transform into the person you were meant to be.
How to set, communicate, and enforce effective boundaries that uphold your highest vision of who you are and what you deserve.
Finding the courage to rise, thrive, and overcome life’s challenges.

Protect Yourself After Betrayal – Practically & Emotionally
Life is unpredictable, and while there are steps you can take to protect yourself, none of us can prepare for what’s to come perfectly. We will get hurt. We will make mistakes. Bad things happen to good people. Which is where self-empowerment comes in. Not in a buzz-wordy way, but in deeply powerful type of way. Being fully self-empowered means being okay with what is as well as what will be, because you know that no matter what happens, you can manage yourself. No matter what life brings, you know that you are protected by something greater, and that you will always be okay.
Top take-a-ways:
Steps you can take to legally, financially, and practically protect yourself and your interests after betrayal (or any time at all)
What “bad things happening” to your or in your life says about you
How to find the courage to rise, thrive, and overcome life’s challenges.

Men, Validation & Infidelity with Alicia M. Walker, Phd
Have you ever wished you could sit down with a cheater (whether your partner or somebody else) and ask them what the heck was going on in their minds when they cheated? Why they did it, what they thought, or what it said about them or you? Now you can.
In this mind-blowing interview you will learn why men cheat, especially when they love their partners.
Using a sample collected from the online dating service Ashley Madison, Alicia M. Walker interviewed men about their experiences and perceptions regarding their participation in infidelity. What she found was as fascinating as it was unexpected!
Contrary to gendered social scripts, the men in this study described their motivations for outside partnerships that were not rooted in the desire for sexual pleasure or variety, but rather as an outlet to soothe their bruised egos, receive attention and validation and to fight their feelings of emasculation.
Top take-a-ways:
Deconstructing why men who want to stay married and keep their primary partnership, seek out affairs.
How even the best primary partnerships sow seeds of self-doubt and feelings of emasculation in men.
Relationship management, and why men perceive partners who aren’t helping them understand and process their emotions as rejection.
The secret needs of men, and why they are “bottomless pits of need” who need their egos pumped up more often than anyone might imagine!
Alicia M. Walker, PhD is an associate professor of sociology at Missouri State University. Like many sociologists, her educational background is varied. Before receiving her PhD in sociology at the University of Kentucky, Walker earned a MEd in educational leadership from Texas State University, and a BA in English from the University of Tampa. She appreciates an interdisciplinary focus and collaboration.
Walker is a microsociologist, whose work focuses on intimate sexual relationships, sexual identity and behavior, and gender. Specifically, her work looks at the social construction of the sexual self, the ways we make sense of ourselves as sexual beings, the ways we navigate our sexual worlds, and our lived experiences as sexual beings.
Walker has particular interest in closeted sexual behaviors and online initiation of sexual relationships. She is credited with creating a sociology of infidelity. Walker’s second book focuses on men’s experiences with infidelity called Chasing Masculinity: Men, Validation, and Infidelity published by Palgrave-Macmillan. This book examines men’s experiences with participation in outside partnerships. Chasing Masculinity has been discussed in The Sun, Vice, The Globe and Mail, and Medium, among others.
Her debut monograph, The Secret Life of the Cheating Wife: Power, Pragmatism, and Pleasure in Women’s Infidelity, is available in hardcover now. The Secret Life of the Cheating Wife is about women’s navigation of outside partnerships alongside primary partnerships, and gives voices to women’s lived experiences. The book has been discussed in articles published in The New York Times and CNN, among others.
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family (adult children, husband, and mother) with whom she is close, and her beloved rescue dog, Harvey, whom she and her daughter found abandoned at a gas station as a puppy. (Adopt, don’t shop!) She also enjoys traveling, great movies, playing cards, and collecting statues of the goddesses of love, marriage, and fertility of various cultures (as they relate to her work).Learn more at: https://www.alicia-walker.com/

Giving you permission to sparkle
Lora’s enthusiasm and energy are infectious. Her podcast creates conversations around the often “taboo” and shamed topics of infidelity that empower people who have lived through it to embrace all of who they are, follow their own path to making the decisions that are right for them, and sparkle again. For those who are feeling broken and broken-hearted, Lora helps offers support, inspiration, and hope that they can create a new version of a life they love - and feel good about themselves in the process.
Bringing light
Lora tackles this complex and difficult subject with loving compassion. She does so in a non-shaming way encouraging the listener to find their inner strength as she has in the aftermath of infidelity. Where was she in my twenties?! Thank you!
Amazing podcast!
