This episode is for the woman who wants to live honestly, but also wisely.

In this conversation, I share my own experience navigating whether to tell friends and family about the affair, why discernment matters more than pressure, and how to tell the difference between blunt honesty and emotional safety. We talk about why not everyone is equipped to hold your story, how to identify safe people, and why healing often needs a cocoon before it needs an audience.

If you’ve felt torn between wanting to be fully known and wanting to protect your heart, this episode will bring clarity, relief, and permission to move slowly.

You don’t have to carry this alone 🤍

🎉 In this milestone 100th episode, I’m celebrating something much bigger than a podcast number. I’m naming a movement I’m watching God build in real time.

I’m witnessing God reclaim His daughters. He's restoring dignity where there was shame. He's bringing women out of hiding and into healing, freedom, and sisterhood.

This episode is a prophetic invitation into belonging, into identity, and into joy.

In this episode, I share:

• What I see God doing right now in the lives of women healing from affairs

• My own testimony of full reclamation and restoration

• What it means to be a Reclaimed Daughter

• Why true healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens in community

• And an open invitation into a rising sisterhood of women choosing freedom

If you’ve ever felt alone in your healing, if you’ve wondered whether God is done with you, if you’ve been quietly listening from the sidelines, unsure if you belong...

This episode is for you.

You are not disqualified. Your story is not over. And you don’t have to walk this road alone. Welcome home.

Happy New Year, my friend 🤍 If you’re stepping into 2026 feeling tender, unsure, or quietly hopeful, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing why healing after an affair doesn’t require pressure, resolutions, or striving. It requires gentle, life-giving rhythms that support your body, heart, mind, and soul. We talk about prayer, Scripture, rest, movement, silence, and community as support systems (not rules) and why God designed rhythm for your healing.

I also guide you through affair-recovery–specific reflection prompts that help you listen to your body, your inner parts, and the Holy Spirit as you release 2025 and step into a new year with compassion and clarity.

If you’re craving a fresh start that actually feels safe and sustainable, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

If you’re struggling to stay grounded this season, you don’t have to do it alone.
