About the Hosts
Author and creator of ChumpLady.com
Tracy Schorn is the award-winning writer and cartoonist known as “Chump Lady.” She’s the author of “Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life – The Chump Lady’s Survival Guide”, which has been an Amazon #1 seller in divorce. Her work has helped millions of people leave abusive relationships.
Since 2012, Tracy has been forging a new narrative about infidelity that champions self-respect and self-care for those cheated on. This stands in contrast to the conventional victim-blaming discourse that encourages betrayed partners to own their part in their abuse and assumes reconciliation.
Her work as an expert on infidelity has been cited at the New York Times, the Associated Press, Huffington Post, and BBC radio, among other sources.
