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% 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.

Let's be honest, healing is sort of like an onion. Just when you think it's going to be smooth sailing, then it's time to peel back another layer.
Today, I share about a time I almost relapsed, but this time I had a plan. And I had wise counsel who almost made me cry on an airplane. So let's shed that shame and lean in to the hard and holy work of taking every thought captive.
Check out the Facebook community where we can be that safe space for the scary moments!
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

I get it: the day starts, you get everyone out the door, you're off to work, then you're home for homework, dinner, baths, and bed, and then you crash into bed with any ounce of energy you have left. And for what? To get up and do it again tomorrow?
I promise you, friend- there IS a better way! Today, let's talk about eliminating hurry, and creating space for the things that matter.
You matter. Your marriage matters. Your children matter. Your time matters. Let's take them back instead of letting the temptation of hurry take control.

What do you think about when someone says "God is Father?" What do you see when you picture God's facial expression towards you? Then what if I held a mirror up to your parenting?
Eeek! I felt the same way. As I learned how loving, kind, gracious, and compassionate God is towards me, His child, I couldn't help but think about how I parent my own children!
So join me on this parenting journey where I seek to model God's parenting style in my own home!

Can you relate? You sit down to read the Bible and it's silent. You don't know where to start. You aren't sure you believe it anyway. So much of it is confusing, and it probably doesn't even apply to you today!
Even though I was raised in the Christian world, the Bible felt dry for most of my life. It wasn't until my affair confession that I finally got serious about God's Word and what it meant for me. Can I share some of my favorite tips with you today? Let's dig into God's Love Letters together ❤
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

One thing I learned from my coach early on in my journey was that being decisive helps expedite your healing process. Make the decision, choose your choice, and start walking. The worst thing you can do is sit in indecision and wait and sit on the fence while time passes.
So let's talk today about what decisions you need to make, AND what else is impacted by your choices.
I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

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!
