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.

Do you cringe at words like boundaries or rules? I do!
But when I reflected on that because I was looking for a new M.O., I realized, I need structure and support. Ahh, that feels better.
Last episode we talked about a plant and how we can choose success in thriving instead of failure to thrive.
Now, let's dig deeper into some practical applications of what that might look like for you! Come share your structure in our community!
You are a beautiful and precious flower, my sister!

Last episode, we talked about getting out of your head and taking back control of your mind and thoughts. Today, I think it's equally as important to talk about our bodies.
God made our bodies and called them very good. But do you ever struggle with wanting to go back to your former way of living? The one that didn't honor your body how God intended?
Join me as I walk through a few Scripture passages and remind us of what God says. Stop focusing on the past. We have a new nature, created to be holy and righteous!
How else do YOU care for your physical body?

Imagine if Jesus showed up at your house today and sat down with you. What if He asked you, "Do you want to be healed? Do you want to get well?" How would you answer?
Unfortunately, the only "right" answer is the honest one. But there is HOPE for healing and forgiveness in Jesus's name!

I had a mentor ask me a really great question: What do you think you need to do next? And my own answer really surprised me. I needed a plan in several areas of my life, because without a plan, I was less likely to get anything done.
I realized this applied to exercise. To business. To time with God. And even to my marriage!
So are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? What do you need to do next? Listen as I share my 6 tips for both your personal and marriage growth!

1. When an affair affects your family relationships
2. What has helped you grow spiritually on your healing journey?
3. Having an experience of Christ's love- do we have to walk through a traumatic experience?
4. Christ meets us in our anxiety!

It's that time of year! Roses, hearts, love, teddy bears and chocolate, and- emotional overload. During the affair, holidays were always a disconnecting experience. I disconnected from God, disconnected from my husband, and disconnected from myself. Today, I choose different!
Get ready for some mindset work AND practical application! It's time we commit to living in truth, communicating our desires, and working on ourselves. Remember to come tell me what you're changing this week!
And always remember: You are not alone!

Maybe you've heard the verse "There is no more condemnation" (Romans 8:1) or "Throw off your former way of life" (Ephesians 4:22), but for some reason, the past keeps popping up in your mind and blocking your vision. Even after I was on my healing journey, I still wrestled with everything pointing back to "the affair"!
I want to share a sneak peak into a counseling session I had during that season and share a few reflection questions I learned then. Join me on the daily journey of shedding your shame to live in true freedom!
