My Story
​
Yes, I created a podcast about women and infidelity. Why? Because it’s a conversation most people avoid having openly. It’s controversial, uncomfortable, and often heavily judged — but it’s real. Infidelity has existed for as long as relationships have, and both men and women are capable of betrayal, heartbreak, and poor choices.
For me, this topic is deeply personal.
I cheated on my now ex-husband for several years with multiple men. The damage caused by my actions reached far beyond just my marriage. My choices affected my children, my reputation, and most painfully, the man I once promised honesty and loyalty to. Watching him process the truth of my deception is something I will carry with me forever. Rebuilding any kind of peace between us took years, and some wounds never fully disappear.
I had to face the consequences one painful step at a time. Accountability was unavoidable, and necessary.
The road to healing has not been easy, but I can honestly say I have grown from it and have no desire to ever return to that life again. What I discovered along the way is that while society often talks about men cheating, women who are unfaithful are judged differently — and far more harshly. Men may be criticized, but women are often branded with labels meant to shame and define them forever.
So I decided it was time to talk about it openly.
This podcast creates a space for honest conversations about why women become unfaithful in marriages and relationships. Every woman has her own story, her own pain, her own reasoning — whether people agree with her choices or not. Affairs happen every single day, even if society prefers to pretend otherwise. The goal is not to glorify infidelity, but to understand the human emotions, brokenness, loneliness, desire, trauma, and circumstances that can lead someone down that path.
As someone who is Christian and who admittedly lost her way more than once, I believe in accountability, but I also believe in compassion. It’s easy to judge people when you’ve never walked in their shoes. But as the scripture says, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
The podcast goes beyond women’s stories alone. We explore the impact affairs have on betrayed partners, hearing directly from men about the devastation, anger, and emotional aftermath they experienced. We also speak with “the other woman” or “the other man” — people involved with someone already committed elsewhere — and examine the emotional complexities they face as well. Men who have cheated also share their experiences and regrets.
Many people imagine affairs as exciting, passionate escapes with little consequence. But the reality is far messier. On this podcast, we discuss the raw truth — the emotional chaos, guilt, secrecy, addiction, heartbreak, and confusion that often accompany infidelity. Sometimes people know they should walk away, yet emotionally feel unable to stop.
In addition to discussions about infidelity, Raw Truth Podcasts also features “Let’s Ponder with Rebecca Adams,” where conversations range from taboo topics to humorous, thought-provoking, and even kinky subjects that challenge social norms and spark honest dialogue.
In August 2022, I became a certified Infidelity Recovery Specialist with a focus on female infidelity. I now use both my professional training and personal experience to help others navigate betrayal, healing, accountability, and recovery. My hope is that one day I will expand this work into a coaching practice supporting individuals and couples trying to rebuild themselves and their relationships.
