"What's Next? Conversations with Boomers"
From Betrayal to Breakthrough: Trust, Trauma, and the Long Road Back with Jackie Adams
In this deeply personal and moving episode, Barb sits down with mental health and marriage counsellor Jackie Adams, who opens up about the most devastating chapter of her life: betrayal. After 32 years of marriage, Jackie’s husband revealed a pattern of infidelity that shattered the foundation of their relationship and ultimately led to divorce.
With honesty, grace, and insight, Jackie walks us through her experience—from the moment of discovery, through the emotional aftermath, and into the slow process of reclaiming her identity. As a therapist who has spent decades helping others navigate their own relationships, Jackie shares how even the most seasoned professionals are not immune to heartbreak—and how the road to healing is often messier and more complex than we expect.
Whether you’ve experienced betrayal yourself or are walking beside someone who has, this conversation offers wisdom, compassion, and hope for what comes next.
Tune in for a raw, real, and powerful look at betrayal, resilience, and rediscovering your worth at any stage of life.
