A short YouTube interview clip (March 1, 2019) in which Michelle Stumbo reflects on her initial reluctance to join a women’s support group while raising young children, then describes attending a "Betrayal and Beyond" women’s group composed of Christian women dealing with marital struggles. She emphasizes discovering shared pain across diverse stories, feelings of inadequacy, and the spiritual framing ("Satan gets to us") of that self-doubt. The exchange is conversational and anecdotal.

I didn't want to go to a women's group though. I had little kids at home.
You were both busy. I was thinking, it's so funny to hear you guys both talk like that.
Why do I need a group? This is his problem, you know? But then going through. It's called betrayal and beyond women's groups and seeing all the other women there, all Christian women whose husbands struggle with this or some husbands have left, but they're there working on, you know, their stuff and to hear all their stories and all our stories are so different, but we all feel the same pain. We all feel the similar.
Same material, same cloth, but different stitch.
Yeah. It was just like, whoa. And just to see all of us feel so, like not enough. And I think that's just the way that Satan gets to us is like, you're not enough.
Yeah.
