I knew starting The Scarlet Edit with the story of my five-year affair would turn heads, but I didn’t expect the sense of freedom that came with telling it.

In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on why I chose to share it, what the aftermath has felt like, and some of the biggest questions I’ve gotten since the launch.

I talk about:

• Why I started the podcast this way
• What it felt like to press publish on my biggest secret
• Whether I thought he’d ever leave
• How I feel knowing he might listen now
• Why I built the (Re)written community on Patreon, and what it’s meant to me

This episode is honest, raw, and a little behind-the-scenes.

If this episode or any part of my story resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

So happy you are here,

Nikki

What happens when you’re witnessing a relationship that doesn't fit the script? When a friend confesses she’s in an affair, or you find yourself drawn to someone who isn’t fully available?

In this episode, I open up about what it means to hold space for friends in messy situations, to love people who make choices you wouldn’t, and to reflect on my own experience being the other woman in a long-term affair. We talk about what it really feels like to be inside complicated relationships, the kinds that don’t come with easy answers only layers of truth.

You’ll hear how I’ve processed dating after divorce, the lessons learned from heartbreak, and the shift that happened when I stopped over-explaining my past and started owning it. This is about emotional healing, letting go of shame, and finding clarity in the chaos of modern dating.

We talk about the kind of friendship advice that matters when someone is hurting, how judgment shows up (even when it’s unspoken), and why creating a safe space for women is so needed. You’ll also hear what I want in love now, something honest, whole, and grounded in self-worth.

If you're in the middle of a breakup recovery, or wondering if you can trust yourself again, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

This space is rooted in honest conversations, female empowerment, and divorce support that doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. Because your story, in all its realness, belongs here.

Here’s to rewriting what love is,

Nikki

What happens when your person has full access to your world, but you’re a ghost in theirs? When they meet your parents, share holidays with your family, and show up in photos with your closest friends yet you’ve never even met one person from their life?

In this episode, I share the reality of a five-year secret relationship and what it meant to be completely known in my world while remaining invisible in his. I open up about being the other woman, the heartbreak of ending a long-term affair, and how it felt to experience relationship grief for something most people never knew existed.

We explore how these kinds of modern relationships unfold and the emotional weight they carry, especially when you’re dating in your 40s and rewriting what love is supposed to look like.

You’ll hear how my friends and family responded, how women and infidelity are still judged differently, and why trust in relationships becomes complicated when only one side is seen. This episode dives into the raw relationship truths that don’t often get spoken out loud.

If you’re navigating emotional healing, craving unconventional love, or finding your way through a self-growth journey, this conversation is for you. These stories support breaking societal norms and remind you that healing after an affair is possible.

Here’s to rewriting what love is,

Nikki
