Women Cheat Too
Women Cheat Too is the podcast for women who’ve betrayed their partner, broken trust, and now find themselves lost in guilt, shame, regret, or total emotional confusion.
Created and hosted by Judith Nisenson, certified betrayal trauma coach and founder of WomensWRK, this show speaks directly to the women no one talks about. The ones who crossed a line. The ones who never thought they’d be that woman. The ones who are now asking, “What have I done? Can I fix this? Who am I now?”
This podcast is a space for hard truth and deep self-exploration, not excuses or shallow advice. With a blend of therapeutic insight and compassionate challenge, Judith helps women uncover what really led to the betrayal, understand the wreckage it caused, and begin rebuilding a relationship with themselves that’s rooted in integrity and emotional growth.
Whether the betrayal was emotional or physical, whether your partner knows or not, whether you're still in the relationship or everything has already fallen apart, Women Cheat Too offers a path through the aftermath. One built on honesty, accountability, and the belief that your worst moment doesn’t have to be the end of your story.

Ep. 24: Why I Keep Wanting to Defend Myself
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Defensiveness is one of the most common, and most damaging, patterns after betrayal. Judith reveals how the impulse to explain, justify, or argue often comes from fear and old trauma, not arrogance. She helps listeners understand where that instinct originates, why it sabotages repair, and how to replace defense with presence. This episode teaches how to pause, listen, and validate without losing your voice, transforming fear into accountability and conflict into connection.
