Maddie is the definition of strength. She told this reality so openly and beautifully. I think everyone should listen to this as a way to understand how to show up in the world for yourself, and the people around you. I even picked up some parenting nuggets. 🫶🏻

Thank you Maddie Corman! There are so many of us silently suffering because of sexual addictions, sexual affairs , pornography and any type of sexual brokenness. These categories are so taboo in our society. You are a fierce and brave soul to bring it into the Light. I listened...I cried with you (and believe it or not was able to laugh a bit)
as I continue to work through my own pain of my husbands infidelities throughout our marriage. No one should have to go through this type of pain and yet so many of us do. As Maya Angelou said...”And still I rise”.
Thank you so much for being a strong voice with the Hope that there can be healing for the betrayed, the unfaithful and the marriage.

Thank you!

Maggie Corman tells her story and allows the listener to feel like she's telling it directly to you, beautifully, emotionally, as if she's your new wise mentor.

To me, this amazing performance is a way of "paying forward" the compassion and guidance she received from someone who reached out to help her.

Thank you Maggie!
