A Chump in a Land Down Under
Hey, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, (or are just really adventurous) just a reminder to come check out my day-long chump talk in Newcastle, Australia on MAY 25! Details here at Zhuchi and kibitzing and coordinating here on Facebook.
A shoutout to organizer Zhuchi (aka Liz Edwards) for putting this all together. It’s for mental health professionals, chumps, and anyone who’s interested in challenging the narratives around infidelity. It takes a lot to put a seminar together, so if you’ve been on the fence, please commit! I’ll be talking, snarking, reading from my book and doing whatever I can to make it worth your while…. drawing cartoons in the margin of your program… crafting effigies of Esther Perel… Feeding them to dingos… No, I’m a serious professional. My RIC effigy thing is just a side gig…
Anyway, if you’re anywhere near Australia, you should come. I’d love to meet you. Besides — have you seen the pictures of Newcastle? It’s on a BEACH. You can meet me and watch me blister in the sun. It’s a twofer.
Sign up today! Thanks!

Hell yeah! See you all there. Will be organising an informal Chump meet up the night before – picnic in the park sort of a deal.
I wish you were coming to Melbourne
Flight between Newcastle and Melbourne can be bought for aroun $79 with Jetstar!
… and I wish you were coming to Wellington … no chance of you making a short trip across the Tasman Sea while you’re in Aus?
Beats the snowy Midwest this time of year. Hope it’s just a start of a world tour!
Absolutely will be there! Thank you Liz Edwards for putting your house on the line! Wonderful education, capacity to engage & network plus all round opportunity to hang out with the guru of straight talk,reality, got your back, walk the talk; Tracy Schorn!! Unmissable irreplaceable fun!
Plus I get to buy signed copy of the book! Please pack an extra one for me Tracy?
I will bring books!
Now look I’ll sweeten the deal. I will bring gorgeous morsels for everyone attending the Inaugural Chumpaloosa Picnic in the Park. Cocktail size Lemon Meringues, Banoffie, Strawberry Lemon Limes and more. I’m a Pastry Chef baker you see!
OoOooh. You had me at “pastries.”
Wow that’s an amazing offer! My mouth is watering reading that…
Please have a safe trip, Tracy. Kick Aussie ass.
Have a nice trip!
Next year Banff, right?
Yes Tracy, Canada next! I’ll find a venue in Ontario if you come!
Yes please!!! Stuck in Alberta right now but I’ll fly anywhere in Canada to meet you if you decide to brave the blizzards and polar bears and come up here 😉
I visited Australia on a 6 week tour in 2012, just 3 weeks after seeing the one any only suspicious text message to STBX. Stuffed it down until ultimately 5 years later, and seeing internet searches on phone a few times over the years, confronted and learned of prostitute use for 20 years..
The power of spackle and denial. I hope one day to revisit the country and see it without the fear and pain in my gut. Tell it Tracy to all who gather to hear the message. Leave a cheater, there is a better life on the other side.
Will be there. Road tripping down from Brisbane. Really looking forward to it ????I’m not a pastry chef but very skilled at eating delicious treats haha
🙂 Yea!
Not a single person is concerned that I joked about throwing EP effigies to dingos.
Wow. My work here is done.
I’m in the US PNW about as far away from lovely Australia as one can be but I so would like to join you all. What a great event!
I may be on holidays, or starting a new job. I can’t believe my luck! If it’s a new job, I will be there, if it’s the holiday, have a great time meeting each other and kicking arse Tracy.
I ca’t wait will be there & for picnic please let me know where. I have my ticket just have to book a hotel as coming from Sydney.
