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. None of it worked. I finally realized that if I was going to find true freedom in my life, I needed to let Jesus heal some deep wounds in my heart. 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 your marriage can be even better than it was before. Get ready- let’s rebuild your life and marriage better than it’s ever been!

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!

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!

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

Sister Friend,
Are you struggling to rebuild trust with your husband? You're committed to your marriage, but you're not sure exactly what to do or how to keep growing? I remember facing difficult decisions, having hard conversations, and asking what would help us heal the best way possible.
So in today's episode, I want to talk about rebuilding trust, prioritizing your marriage, and making difficult decisions. Your actions need to line up with your words because you are 100% committed to truth and trust-building now. Let's dig in together- I pray this blesses you, and I'd love to help however I can!
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
