We always want to know what our god-given talent is when we naturally seem to slip through the cracks. The lie we tend to believe is that it will come easily, when being great is never easy. However, I believe it will bring us energy. It will instil in us this spirit that charges us, rather than drains. These are one of the greatest gifts life can bring us... but a lot of us are too 'busy' to ever tap into our unique calling, 'busy...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
