    Alicia shares her side of the story: Part 1 of 3

    I strongly believe, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," and the same can be said for my beautiful guest Alicia.  She is a mom of 3 teenagers, overcame infidelity after 18 years of marriage, and is a breast cancer survivor.  

    In part 1 of this unexpected 3 part series, Alicia shares her journey of falling in love, motherhood, cancer, and forgiveness after infidelity. In part 2, we'll hear her husband's side of the story. And in part 3, I'll sit down with the both of them and get the real deal of how they kept their marriage together. 

    Their story is beyond powerful! I hope you tune in to all 3 parts!

    Marcel shares his side of the story: Part 2 of 3

    In part 2 of our unexpected 3 part series, Marcel shares his perspective on how love and loyalty drifted to infidelity and regret.  Marcel candidly describes the contributing factors that led him to cheat, as well as the drastic yet necessary measures he took to keep his marriage together (and thriving). 

    In part 3, I sit down with Marcel and Alicia to get the real deal of how they repaired their marriage and if their love is still going strong today. I hope you stay tuned for  part 3!

    Out of respect for his marriage, Marcel is no longer on social media.

Epic podcast about cheating, love and what will happen

Elsie takes you through a journey of self discovery to which she shares her story of being cheated on and then taking her husband back. It’s crazy to think but she goes in-depth in her own mind as well the reason to why her husband cheated and why they didn’t workout. It’s a completely different perspective of all the other relationship podcasts out there. And did I mention that she’s a life coach who’s here to help you out??? Go subscribe and listen!
