Come explore Kim Hansen Petroni’s workbook Not a Casserole Widow with me. In this conversation, we unpack what forgiveness can really look like—and it may not be what you expect. We also talk about the breaking of trust in intimate relationships, which is the very foundation of betrayal trauma.

Amid the chaos and confusion, there’s also a deeper story of courage and hope—and that’s what we touch on together.

Self-care is just another word for boundaries, but what does it take to really be able to care for ourselves? Join me in this episode where we get to the heart of why we do or do not care for ourselves.
