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.

Friend, if you follow my Instagram stories (@kristinajoycoaching) then you know I've begun working with a fitness coach. I've worked with personal trainers before, but in this season of life, it's hitting differently.
Having walked through several years of a healing journey, I found so many similarities between the personal growth of my heart + soul and the growth of my physical health.
So today, let me be a tour guide that tells you what's ahead. I pray you're encouraged and motivated to take YOUR next right step. I'm cheering for you!
Always remember: You are not alone!
xoxo,
KristinaJoy

Sister, today's episode is unique because I want you to think about sharing it with a friend. Is there something you wish your friend knew about your marriage or affair? Or is there something you want them to understand now that it's in your past? These are my top 8 things I wished my friends knew before, during, and after my infidelity. I pray they help you begin a conversation and reconcile a relationship.
SHAME wants to keep you hiding. I'm here to help you expose what's in the dark so you can begin to walk in Truth and freedom.
Always remember: You are not alone!
xoxo,
KristinaJoy

Friend, I'm getting honest here and sharing a few of the lies I believed during and after my affair. In my healing journey, I've learned to 1) become aware of my thoughts and 2) repent of the lies I come into agreement with.
SHAME wants to keep you hiding. I'm here to help you expose what's in the dark so you can begin to walk in Truth and freedom.

Have you ever stopped to consider the thoughts and stories you let race through your brain all day? Can you answer the question, What are you thinking about your marriage? Or the affair? Or yourself?
I want to challenge you to consider that your thoughts about a situation are not Truth. But you CAN pause and consider- are these thoughts serving me well? Are they Truth? Or should I gain some clarification and more insight?
Your thoughts shape your life. It's time you start listening to them.
And always remember: You are not alone!
xoxo,
KristinaJoy

One of the greatest pieces of advice I've been given on my journey is: Honesty is kindness. It took me a while to grow into that, but when I did, it radically changed things for me.
It all starts with honesty. Yes, speaking truth instead of lies, but also speaking UP instead of hiding in fear and shame.
Who do you need to be more honest with right now?
And always remember: You are not alone!

ONE spot left to begin coaching in September! Let's connect HERE!
One of the biggest lessons I learned after confessing my affair and beginning my healing journey was that God wasn't interested in an agenda. He was not in a hurry for me to heal. He was after my heart, and He wanted me to slow down enough to hear Him.
So what did I do while 3 kids were in school and the baby was napping? I sat at my kitchen table and opened my Bible. I didn't have a plan to follow. I just listened for what He had been highlighting to me, and I looked for it in His Word.
And He spoke to me in His Word. And sister- He wants to speak to you too. Let's dig in!
Always remember: You are not alone!
xoxo,
KristinaJoy

One thing I hear often is some rendition of "I really miss my affair partner, and what can I do about it?"
First I'm here to tell you- it's a completely normal response. And the good news is, you don't have to stay stuck in that feeling! Let's chat today about how your feelings stem from your thoughts, and your thoughts come from an identity issue.
Always remember: You are not alone!

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!

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!
