I Had an Affair

How It Feels to Tell the World You Were the Other Woman

When I launched The Scarlet Edit, I knew I was putting my most personal story out into the world, but I didn’t know it would make me feel this free.

In this solo episode, I talk about why I chose to share something so private, what it’s been like now that the story is out, and some of the big listener questions I’ve received since the launch.

We get into:

  • Why I started the podcast with that story

  • What surprised me most after releasing the first three episodes

  • Whether I thought he would ever leave

  • How I feel knowing he might listen

  • What it means to create safe spaces for women to talk about hard things — without judgment

If you’ve ever debated telling your story, or worried what people would think if you did, I hope this one resonates.

The (Re)written community is open and growing. If you’re looking for a private space to process what you’ve lived, come join us. You don’t have to go through it alone.
