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

  • 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
