This is a Safe Space by Lucinda Berry @lucindaberryauthor #FullCast @simon.audio @simonaudio.bsky.social #ThisIsASafeSpace

the setup…
Jenna has a thriving private therapy practice and is married to Colten, a man she loves and who loves her back. He’s never given her a reason to mistrust him but she brought trust baggage to the relationship. Despite promising to stop secretly checking his phone, she falls off the wagon and sees a damning text exchange between him and his cousin Brodie who’s also her brother-in-law. It involves a stripper at a bachelor party and Brodie apparently crossed a line, cheating on Jenna’s pregnant sister. Oh, and the stripper is her client!

the heart of the story…
That took a turn! To say Jenna has trust issues is more than an understatement as she took even more risks sticking her nose into Colten and Brodie’s messaging. She grapples with ethical and moral issues…does she insert herself with the client, tell her sister what’s going on?

the narration…
I not only enjoyed the storytelling by Danielle Savre, Alicia Crowder, Dan Bittner, Matt Godfrey & Janina Edwards, but loved the dynamic effects used to distinguish recorded sessions from live dialogue. It elevated the story immensely.

the bottom line…
I thought I knew where this might go but even in this short story there was a head-snapping twist. Nicely done!
