CALM BEFORE THE STORM: Courtney CAUGHT WIND OF gossip being spread about her. She was PSYCHED OUT when she heard such stories that had no connection to her. Her reputation was deeply affected in her neighborhood. She used to be the most genuine, trusted, and beloved person among the women in her circle. But things changed drastically. Women that used to keep her company were no longer around. Everyone kept their distance from her. They didn't want to ruin their reputation by getting in touch with her again. They simply LET HER DOWN in the most difficult time. Courtney knew that things were getting OUT OF HER HANDS. She had never been in such a catastrophic condition. She even couldn’t COME OUT SWINGING against all these dirty stories. She didn’t know to whom she could SEEK OUT help. She knew that her truth shouldn’t FALL ON DEAF EARS since this would threaten her marriage life that she has been building for years. She was so WEIGHED DOWN that she may BE SUBJECTED TO losing her job in case her manager or co-workers received such horrible news about her. It looked like someone was seeking revenge and wanted to see her lose everything and suffer. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/support
