On today's show, Lisa Arends tells Jeff the story of her horrible divorce: after 10 years of marriage, her husband abruptly told her he was leaving - and he told her via text message! And, it turns out, that was just the beginning of the story! 

Lisa started investigating, and she was slowly able to uncover her husband's secret life, which included maxing out credit cards she didn't even know existed, and an affair with a woman who lived in another state. After further investigation, Lisa learned that her husband married another woman 6 days after leaving her, and eventually Lisa helped land her husband behind bars for bigamy.

Lisa learned a lot about herself during this ordeal - and wrote a book about her experience. In this Backstage Bonus, Lisa shares some of the lessons that have made her stronger, better woman. Married, single, or divorced, they're important things to keep in mind when you’re going through your own tough times.
