For years, I tried to break free from my infidelity in all the wrong ways. I tried by sheer willpower, I tried reading my Bible more, and I even considered joining a 12-step program.

Through prayer, a whole lot of research, and developing new healthy habits, I was finally able to find healing to shed my shame once and for all. I learned I could choose to leave the affair behind. I could choose to pursue my own emotional healing and growth, no matter if my marriage survived or not. I could create new healthy habits that would move me forward in confidence, with strength and dignity. And I am SO ready to share what I’ve learned with you! If you are ready to finally find your true self in Christ, Experience ultimate freedom from your bondage, Feel authentic connection without the secrets, And move forward with strength and dignity, Then find your safe space and pop in those earbuds. I’m about to show you that intimacy after infidelity is possible, and life can be way better than it ever was before. Get ready- let’s rebuild your intimacy better than it’s ever been!

Happy New Year, my friend 🤍 If you’re stepping into 2026 feeling tender, unsure, or quietly hopeful, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m sharing why healing after an affair doesn’t require pressure, resolutions, or striving. It requires gentle, life-giving rhythms that support your body, heart, mind, and soul. We talk about prayer, Scripture, rest, movement, silence, and community as support systems (not rules) and why God designed rhythm for your healing.
I also guide you through affair-recovery–specific reflection prompts that help you listen to your body, your inner parts, and the Holy Spirit as you release 2025 and step into a new year with compassion and clarity.
If you’re craving a fresh start that actually feels safe and sustainable, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
If you’re struggling to stay grounded this season, you don’t have to do it alone.

You were never meant to heal alone. In this episode, I share some personal stories behind my own breakthrough moments, from the first time I admitted I couldn’t cut contact, to the retreat where I experienced safety and compassion for the first time, to the women who held space for me when she was convinced I had to take my secrets to my grave.
I also reveal what I'm seeing inside my own group coaching community: the “me too” moments, the relief from isolation, the courage that rises when women hear their own thoughts mirrored in someone else’s story, and the unique healing that happens only in safe, faith-filled connection.
You’ll learn:✨ Why you cannot read the label from inside the jar ✨ The brain science behind safety and co-regulation ✨ How God uses other women as mirrors and midwives for breakthrough ✨ The lies the enemy uses to isolate you — and the truth that sets you free ✨ Why healing accelerates in community (and why trying alone keeps you stuck)

In this episode, I teach a simple Christian & somatic approach to feeling your feelings without spiraling into old patterns. We’ll use The Model and The Domino Drill, parts-work in plain English (think Inside Out), and a handful of on-the-spot practices you can use today.
You’ll learn:
Why emotions are messengers, not enemies, and how God meets you in them
A Christian, embodied take on The Model + The Domino Drill to stop emotional spirals
How to use parts-language (“Hi, loneliness”) to reduce intensity and increase compassion
Quick somatic tools (sigh + anchor, orienting, etc.)
