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.

When was the last time you "stopped to smell the roses"...or the dandelions? What's the big deal about these weeds anyway? And what's that got to do with healing from an affair??
Today, I open up my journal from the season after ending my affair, and I share a way that God spoke to my heart through a flower.
I guarantee you'll never look at a dandelion, or yourself, the same way again!
Always remember: You are not alone!
xoxo,
KristinaJoy

The question that prompted today's episode came from real people with real stories. We live in a world with hurt. And unmet needs. And people who are willing to meet those voids - whether or not they should.
But what do we do with the butterflies in our stomach? How do we handle the compliments that are truly flattering?
Let's chat, sister!
And always remember: You are not alone!

I was an adult when I learned "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" was a lie! Words have the power to bring life or death. And that goes for the words you speak as well as the thoughts you think.
So today, let's chat about how words can change your perception of a situation, your health and the health of those around you, and your identity. That's a HUGE one.
I'd love to know your answers: What labels do you need to let go of? Or what identity do you need to begin living out? Come let me know in the community!
And always remember: You are not alone!

Friend, I am so grateful Jesus was a human just like us. That means I can study Scripture to see what He did, and I want to do that too!
One thing Jesus did was have regular times of REST. He got alone. He prayed. He listened. He enjoyed God's presense, on purpose.
I'm so excited to do that too. Stay tuned for future episodes of Intimacy After Infidelity- after this season of resting in God!
As always, you can still message me and find me in the Facebook Community.
You are not alone!

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?
And always remember: You are not alone!
