Sarah Matzke was your typical, young, married, suburban woman. Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, she was just starting out her life with her husband. Except, she had a secret.
She was secretly having an affair with her husband’s best friend.
That secret was eating away at her, until she eventually came clean. But was it too late for her marriage to be saved? What did she need to realize about herself? And what small compromises years earlier lead to a full-blown affair?
In Episode 15 of “That Was Stupid,” Sarah joins to talk about:
The lies she believed
How an eating disorder at a young age set the stage for more compromises later
How she overcame an eating disorder
The moment she confessed to her husband her affair with his best friend
The journey back to restoration
The truth she needed to replace the lies she believed for years
Her new book detailing it all, “Desert Vineyards”
And more!
