Travis Jennings is a brilliant Finance, Tax, and Debt Reduction Expert.

Teri Lynn Wilkins has been a life coach for nearly 14 years. She has been interviewed in magazines and newspapers across the country and online, has appeared on every local news channel and has even been featured on HGTV. After an 8 year journey through infidelity (as both someone who cheated and was cheated on) Teri Lynn realized that there was very little help and understanding about the topic.  Most people who experience betrayal remain hurt and angry, even years later.  They are unable to fully heal or move forward and create love in their lives.  So, in 2014 she decided to specialize in Infidelity, Cheating, and Betrayal.  Her own personal journey unveiled insights into why people cheat, how to avoid infidelity and how to heal it if it does happen. The subject of cheating is one of the most taboo, least talked about and least understood experiences in life. Teri Lynn believes that the biggest challenges are meant to completely transform our lives. Betrayal uncovers our most primal and deepest fears of no

But along the way to find her passion, she trained and worked in genetic counseling at Columbia University Children’s Hospital, investment banking at Solomon Smith Barney, and fashion licensing at Nautica. With all the changes in her career, love was not her first priority.
