Have you ever wondered what happens when the part of your story you feel most ashamed of becomes the very place God begins to heal, restore, and set others free?

In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Robertson, host of the Intimacy After Infidelity podcast, to talk about shame, healing, faith, and what it looks like to come home to yourself after betrayal. Kristina shares her personal story of being rescued by God out of a seven-year affair, the loneliness and secrecy that kept her stuck, and the safe spaces that helped her finally bring her story into the light.

Together, we unpack why affairs often function like addictions, how shame thrives in secrecy, and why healing has to go deeper than behavior change alone. Kristina offers a compassionate, faith-rooted perspective on whole-person healing that includes the heart, soul, mind, body, nervous system, and relationship with God.

Tune in to hear:

• What led Kristina to create Intimacy After Infidelity
• How shame and secrecy can keep women trapped in destructive patterns
• Kristina’s story of being rescued by God from a seven-year affair
• Why affairs can feel addictive and why willpower alone often is not enough
• The importance of safe people and safe spaces when telling the truth
• How confession, repentance, and support became part of Kristina’s healing
• Why Christian women often need more than surface-level faith answers
• How the body, brain, soul, and nervous system all play a role in healing
• The connection between unmet needs, loneliness, desire, and temptation
• How to stop condemning yourself and begin understanding what your cravings are trying to reveal
• The power of learning to listen to your body without abandoning your faith
• Why healing from infidelity can create deeper honesty in marriage, work, and identity
• How women can move from shame and hiding into freedom, authenticity, and self-trust

Today’s episode is an intimate and highly personal one. I’m talking all about my own story in the hopes that it’ll help you understand the secrets to get exactly what you want. To help you achieve this, I’m pulling back the curtains on my personal life and perspective shift. I share how I came to the realization that I’m the person holding myself back from living the life I wanted. I also share all the outward blame and responsibilities on those around me and how that kept me stuck. I also discuss the issues with perfectionism and the self-fulfilling prophecy of the victim mentality.

This episode is all about taking responsibility for your happiness, your life, and your personal power. It isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re ready to claim control over your life and change it for the better – this episode is definitely for you.

Tune in to hear:

• Evaluating why you’re no longer happy and looking inward
• Why putting your happiness on another human is a lot of pressure to place on someone else
• The issue with perfectionism
• Realizing that you’ve been keeping yourself from living the life you wanted
• The self-fulfilling prophecy of the victim mentality

If you've ever felt torn between staying where things feel safe and stepping into a future that feels uncertain but deeply alive, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Kelly shares a real-time revelation she's experiencing about her business, her calling, and the future she feels God inviting her toward. After years of building a successful online business, she opens up about what it feels like when something that once felt aligned no longer feels fully supported and how she's learning to distinguish between the voice of fear and the voice of intuition.

Through an honest look at her own decision-making process, Kelly explores the difference between ego and intuition, the importance of listening to your body's signals, and a simple experiment that can help bring clarity when you're standing at a crossroads.

Tune in to hear:

• What it feels like when something that once felt aligned begins to lose its sense of momentum and support
• The difference between ego and intuition and how to recognize which one is guiding your decisions
• How fear, obligation, and logic often show up when ego is leading
• Why intuition frequently feels expansive, loving, and surprisingly illogical
• The dream Kelly and her husband have been quietly carrying to create intentional hospitality and retreat spaces
• How certain environments can help people reconnect with themselves, hear God's voice more clearly, and experience healing
• The powerful experiment Kelly used to test a major life decision before fully committing to it
• Why peace can be a valuable indicator when discerning your next step
• How to use your body's wisdom to gather information when you're facing an important choice
• The reason certainty isn't always required before taking action toward something meaningful
• An invitation to "try on" different possibilities and notice how each one feels before making a decision
