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.

Hey Friend,
I was told once, "You can't be upset at the results you don't have because of the work you didn't do." Wow! Although that advice was about business, I immediately saw the appliction to my life and marriage. So when you look at your life today, are you happy with where things are? Or do you wish things could be different? What work are you willing to put in to make the change?
Today, let's talk about what results you want in your marriage. And let's learn what actions, feelings, and thoughts you need in order to get there! I learned this Self-Coaching Model from Brooke Castillo, and it radically changed my thinking about what I'm responsible for. I can't wait to share it with you!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!xoxo,KristinaJoy

Girlfriend!
Grab your favorite (non-alcoholic) drink- I can't wait for you to meet my friend Ashley! She is a Sober Coach for people trying to break unhealthy drinking patterns, and she has a similar passion like me for helping women find true freedom in their life!
What drew me to Ashley when we first met, was that we used similar language: addiction, shame, labels, recovery, freedom. But while I talk about the affair addiction, she talks about it with substances. What a beautiful community that understands the need to put God first and find healing!
In today's conversation, we talk about: True freedom from the issue and not "willing" it away. The role your brain plays when your body is doing "new" things. Your identity and how the words you use to label yourself can empower you or keep you stuck.
Pull a chair up to the table- let's dig in!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!xoxo,KristinaJoy

Hey Friend,
I am so excited for you to meet Darnell Wilson today! He currently serves as Director at Northeast Ohio Impact, unleashing the Gospel to local college students. We first met when he preached a sermon at my church on forgiveness and how Christians need to forgive and be forgiven.
Today we continued the conversation in Zechariah, where we learn Jesus silences Satan's accusations on our behalf. And what's more, God changes our clothes- and our life! And we are never the same!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!
xoxo,
Kristina

Friend,
Do you ever hear recommendations and think, there's NO way I could do that! I used to think that when someone told me- healthy marriage have couples that spend 10-15 hours a week together. This is intentional, face-to-face time where you can communicate and grow together. Cue all the excuses: kids, time, money, sleep! 
But then I got serious about my marriage. I wanted to invest in it and show my husband he was a priority to me. After all, when we were dating, we spent tons of time together! Why not now?
So in today's episode, I break down the hours with some suggestions of how it could practically work for you. Need more suggestions or want to talk about how it would look in your situation? Book a FREE call and let's work through a plan together!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!
xoxo,
Kristina

Mama,
True confession: there are still parts of the Bible that I do NOT want to read because I'm afraid of the shame and conviction creeping back up! Proverbs 7 was one of those that came up in my reading plan- all about the "immoral woman."
BUT GOD met me even there! When I was willing to be open and take my emotions to Him, He showed me a beautiful scene of redemption, rescuing, and safety. He is so good, I just had to share it and encourage you as well.
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!
xoxo,
Kristina

Friend,
We could all use a little more JOY in our life, wouldn't you agree? There are enough things fighting for our attention between social media, the news, and just hard things that enter our lives. You know a fruit of the Spirit is Joy, but have you ever wondered what it is and how do you get it? And maybe you've been in a season of hurt and pain so long, you're not even sure you could ever experience Joy again.
There is HOPE, dear one! If there was Joy for King David (who had an affair and murdered her husband), then I guarantee there is Joy for you today. Let's dive in and learn what it is, how you can get it, and why you even want it. Then come and let me know what you're going to do with it!
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina

Hey there Sister!
 
After wrapping up Episode 8, lamenting your circumstances, God revealed even more depth to me as I saw connections between Psalm 42, Psalm 43, and Psalm 77! I was so encouraged that I couldn't wait to share it with you too.
 
After you've taken a shot at sitting in your own lament, you might be asking, NOW WHAT?! God still feels absent. Your relationship with heaven doesn't feel any more refreshing. Yes, dear, even this season has a purpose. And that's exactly what I want to tell you in today's episode!
 
I pray you experience the love of Christ!
xoxo,
Kristina
