Questions About Coaching Workshop Podcast

Could I have prevented this?

Season #1

If you’ve wondered what you could have done differently after your spouse cheated, there may be a reason that question is so compelling.

When a spouse steps outside the marriage, it’s easy to look back at yourself and wonder what you could have changed.

In this episode, I share a story that changed the way I think about that question, and what we may miss when we’re searching for an answer.

  • Why “If I had just…” can feel like such a compelling place to look after a spouse cheats
  • What can happen when we try to make sense of someone else’s choices by looking at ourselves
  • How to begin sorting through what’s actually yours to examine in the relationship

 

This Week’s Invitation

Notice where you’ve been asking, “What could I have done differently?” Then get curious about what you’re hoping the answer to that question will give you.

If you’re having difficulty sorting through what’s true in your relationship, I’d love to help.

This podcast is for educational purposes only. It does not replace therapy, and it's not a substitute for professional mental health care. The examples I share are brief snapshots designed to illustrate a principle and may not apply to every situation. Because every relationship is unique, consider these principles thoughtfully and seek individualized professional guidance when needed. If your relationship involves violence, intimidation, or you have concerns for your safety, please seek support from professionals who can help you assess your specific situation and address it appropriately.
