Intimacy After Infidelity | Cut Contact, Rebuild Trust, Shed Shame, Avoid Divorce, Forgiveness for Adultery
The go-to podcast for Christian women who are ready to heal their hearts, shed their shame, and come home to freedom in Christ.
Ranked Top 2.5% Globally
Do you ever wish someone would truly see you, not look past you or through you?
Are you lying awake at night wondering if your marriage can survive infidelity...or if it’s time to let go?
Are you exhausted from Googling answers, trying to fix things, and still feeling unheard, unseen, and stuck in shame
You’re not alone. And you’re in the right place.
This podcast is a sacred, steady space for women navigating betrayal, emotional disconnection, separation, or the aftermath of an affair, who want more than surface-level faith answers. Here, we talk honestly about the heart, the body, the soul, and the brain, and what it actually looks like to let Jesus heal what’s been wounded.
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Kristina Joy, forgiven daughter of Jesus, mom, and coach. For years, I tried to break free from my own infidelity through sheer willpower, "doing more," and striving to be better. I read my Bible more. I tried to behave my way into freedom. None of it worked.
Everything changed when I stopped trying to fix myself and allowed Jesus to meet me in the deeper places like my pain, my patterns, my unmet needs. Through prayer, research, embodied healing practices, and new rhythms of truth and grace, I discovered real freedom. Not just from the affair, but from shame, secrecy, and self-abandonment.
On this podcast, you’ll find:
- A reminder that your dignity, worth, and identity are not up for debate
- Emotional and nervous-system awareness for real transformation
- Coaching guidance for clarity, boundaries, communication, and trust
- Gentle truth for women deciding what restoration actually means for them
Whether your marriage is being rebuilt or released, you are allowed to heal. You are allowed to choose freedom. You are allowed to become whole.
If you’re ready to:
Stop living in secrecy and self-condemnation
Experience God’s love without fear or striving
Break familiar patterns for good
Live with clarity, strength, dignity, and peace
Then take a breath, find your safe space, and press play.
This is where healing begins and where you come home to yourself, with Jesus.

Friend, I'm going to spare you the long introduction today.
I did something I never dreamed I was capable of. And then I finally hit my rock bottom.
BUT GOD. Jesus was so incredibly kind and gracious, and he rescued me from my own mess. He pulled me out of the fire. He saved me from all of the damage I caused and was about to cause.
So please be blessed by my story. Be encouraged, you are not alone. Be strengthened, that you need to make things right with such urgency as a life or death situation. And be bold- please let me know how I can help. I love you.
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

I was super convicted this week about a situation I should have been covering in prayer. But instead, I found myself passive, saying, "God knows my heart, and He'll work however He wants!" Woah!
So today I'm diving into what makes makes us apathetic and flat-line in our prayer life, along with some suggestions for a refresh.
God answers prayer! And your prayer life, or lack of, is evidence of your belief. Join me in upping your prayer game, sister!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey friend,
Do you ever feel stuck in a rut spiritually? We all do. Maybe it's a dry season. Or God feels especially quiet. Or you're trying to rebuild your relationship from the ground up. So where do you start??
Let me tell you about 3 life-giving habits that I'm growing in and how they'll help you, too. Maybe you've heard of one or two, but commiting to all 3 of these is a powerhouse to focusing on your rebuiding your relationship with God. You want to improve a relationship? It takes time and intentionality. Which one can you work on this week?
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Sister,
Do you ever read the Bible and think, "Yes! That's so me!" Or the opposite, "There is NO way I could do that!"
You may fall in one of those two camps today as we look at Psalm 105:1. Maybe you're ready to "Let the whole world know what God has done," or maybe you're still wondering when God is going to show up in your story. Either way, this verse has 3 commands that apply to all of us. And I'd love to hear your takeaway, too!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Friend,
Did you remember there's a war going on all around us? Satan is out for your family, your attention, and any part of your life he can get. But the good news is- you are not alone! Habakkuk wrote a book in the Bible about his conversation with God when his country was at war. And God told him it was about to go from bad to worse!
But isn't our God good- He wove hope into the entire conversation along with reminders of truth about who He was and is. So if your situation feels so bleak and discouraging right now, grab your Bible and find Habakkuk- God has a word for you today!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey Sister-Friend,
When was the last time you checked your phone settings and saw the amount of time you spend on social media? Does that number shock you? Have you ever thought about how much social media takes from your life- time, energy, attention? Intimacy?
Let's get real, and really honest, about the potential threats that social media plays in our lives today. It's time to get serious about what we let into our homes, our lives, and our hearts. And if you've been considering laying down your social apps at Jesus's feet- I'm right there with ya!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey Friend,
Have you ever searched for the "definition of cognitive dissonance"? I hadn't either- until I learned that was the phrase I needed in order to explain this terrible feeling I had. The things I preached, the values I held to, the Bible stories I believed in- none of it lined up with how I was choosing to live my life during my affair.
So today I break it down for you: What is it, how do you know if you have it, and how do you get out of it?! I'd love to hear your thoughts after the show!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Here I talk about the 3 things I did immediately that helped in our healing journey. These things anchored me, grounded us, and were critical to our emotional health and healing.

Friend,
Growing up I claimed, I hate emotions! Silly contradiction, right? Well it played out in my life and marriage when I began to observe HE (hear, WE!) are emotionally immature and it's really impacting our intimacy, communication, and married life!
I'd love to save you the trouble of staying immature and never growing, so I'm here to share 3 specific things we're doing to grow personally and together. These are ways we are emotionally growing, healing, and thriving. I can't wait to hear what your next step is!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!
