    Welcome to the podcast where there really IS only one side to the story!

    Tracy Schorn, cartoonist and author, regularly attacks Esther Perel, a licensed psychotherapist (look her up in New York State!).

    Schorn makes her living repeating stories that betrayed spouses post on her Web site. Perel actually treats individuals and couples, and she's bound by a code of ethics. Schorn bars cheating spouses from her Web site, so every story she tells amounts to hearsay. There's no need to ask the other... more

  • For the haters…

    Coming for ChumpLady is akin to a bad rerun of the Crucible. For you. This Nation is powered by the tears of cheaters, liars, and abusers. A constant reminder that the esther perel drivel of the world is, well, just that. Drivel. Keep spreading the word CL. Keep speaking the truth CN. Leave a cheater, gain a life. Eat it all and leave no crumbs. TBelle ❤️

  • Brave Truths

    Tracy and Sarah have taken the brave step to empower the victims of cheaters. Let’s be honest, it is mostly women. Standing up for them and shining a light on the injustice is an act of feminism. Cheating is a crime not recognized by our laws, and their conversations provide a place for people to know they are not alone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

130. Unhitched: Talking Divorce with Therapist Oona Metz
Q: Why is anger often discouraged in the narrative around divorce, and is that fair?
Anger is often framed as something to suppress, but it can be an important motivator and catalyst for boundary-setting and change; it's not about lashing out, but about owning your truth and moving forward.
130. Unhitched: Talking Divorce with Therapist Oona Metz
Q: What should someone new to this process know that isn't commonly discussed?
Focus on basic self-care first—sleep, food, and cognitive grounding—before making big decisions, and seek to understand your state's laws to protect financial interests early on.
115. Sane Parenting: An Interview with Kirk Martin
Q: How do I tell my kids that I'd rather chew off my own foot than play happy families with my ex?
You should frame it as being true to yourself and acknowledge that you don't want to repeat patterns of self-sacrifice for others' happiness.
115. Sane Parenting: An Interview with Kirk Martin
Q: Did you, as an adult, ever talk to your mom about what those years were like for her?
Yes, we talked openly about everything and I assured her that she had done her job raising four good kids.
112. 'If You Must Go, I Wish You Triplets': An Interview with Virginia DeLuca
Q: Did you look at your mother's life differently after that?
Virginia expresses her changed understanding of her mother's experiences and struggles after her own betrayal.
