Rising Phoenix finishes her story with a 4-part look at her healing process. Here’s part 1: The First Year—Survival, Not Healing.

Rising Phoenix traces the slow, embodied shift from seeing “the other person” as a rival to recognizing she was never the true threat—the unhealed wounds within the marriage were. It’s about reclaiming self-worth, letting comparison fall away, and coming home to oneself.

Rising Phoenix explores reclaiming the truth of a shared past after betrayal, refusing to let infidelity erase or rewrite decades of real love, struggle, and life built together.

How rebuilding after infidelity wasn’t just about salvaging a relationship, but about learning to trust the body, understand triggers, and show up differently for yourself. Rising Phoenix tells how healing became a slow return to self rather than a rush to restore what was lost.

Christmas seasons after betrayal became quiet markers of grief, survival, and slow rebuilding, shifting the holiday from something lost to something redefined. Love and joy now come from presence, honesty, and a steadiness earned through pain.
