Betrayal

Reclaiming Life After Betrayal: My Story

There comes a point in a woman’s healing process where the focus shifts. It moves from the initial shock of the betrayal and all of the focus being on the husband and marriage to the focus turning towards her own personal healing. Regardless of whether the husband is doing the work and getting healthy or divorce is imminent, her attention naturally shifts to the carnage betrayal leaves behind. She begins the important and necessary journey of healing and repairing the damage. Based on her own story of betrayal, Tammy provides guidance and hope to women as they reclaim life and strength:

  • Emotionally
  • Physically
  • Relationally
  • Financially
  • Spiritually

Believe me, there is healing and a good life ahead for you!

Developing a Plan After Betrayal

Discovering your husband’s betrayal is life-shattering. Women often struggle to know what to do, how to respond, and where to get help. Tammy offers time-tested boundaries and guideposts to help women navigate these uncertain times. With insight and vulnerability, she walks women through the first few months of what needs to happen after discovery including:

  • Navigating emotions
  • Ensuring safety – both emotional and physical
  • Setting healthy boundaries
  • Finding the right counselor
  • Parenting and talking to your kids
Discovering Who You Are

Tammy leans into the topic of finding the real you. While we know its value, life often gets in the way and derails the process. From getting married to raising kids to caring for those they love, many realize years later they don’t know who they are outside of what they do for others. They lost themselves somewhere along the journey. But for those who’ve experienced betrayal, this can feel even more intense. Tammy gently guides women through the steps of learning who they are and empowers them to step into their unique purpose and gifting. Women emerge from this process with confidence and strength. It is not about proving themselves, it is about finding their true self.

Trauma & Mental Health

Healing from Trauma & PTSD

Did you know that over half of the population in the United States experiences a traumatic event at least once in their lives? These traumas often shift the way people view others, themselves, and the world around them. It can also shift and drive people in ways they don’t realize, stunting them from reaching their full potential or living in freedom. The good news? When people understand it and get help, they can absolutely heal from trauma, experience freedom, and be able to leave the past behind. Tammy unpacks what trauma is, how to recognize it, and the effects of it, as well as offering clear guidance on how to find freedom from it.

Boundaries: Redefining Boundaries for Healthy Relationships

Clear boundaries are one of the most important things you need for healthy relationships. Tammy will help you redefine boundaries so you know where to put them and why you are doing it. She will help you define yourself and the importance you have in this world. Knowing who you are, what you need, and communicating that with others while maintaining respect for yourself and the other person is vital. This results in natural, healthy, respectful boundaries with those around you. Tammy unpacks a step-by-step process of connecting with yourself, defining your needs, communicating them with others, and how to respond when someone crosses the line.

Managing Stress & Anxiety

Everyone deals with stress and anxiety in one way or another—some healthy and some not so healthy. The truth is that stress is a very real part of life, particularly in these unprecedented times. Navigating our thoughts and emotions can be very challenging, often leaving us feeling overwhelmed and stuck. With hard-won wisdom, Tammy offers a practical approach to getting unstuck and taking control of life again by focusing on:

  • Facing fear
  • Addressing control
  • Using body-based coping skills
  • Balancing the big picture with the details of life
  • Identifying and making healthy changes
