Imagine discovering a hidden struggle in your marriage that shakes your sense of trust and security. Katie, our courageous guest, faced just this when she learned about her husband's battle with pornography—a revelation that came a year into their marriage. In this powerful episode of "Happily, Even After", Katie shares her deeply personal journey from naivety to awareness, and how she now channels her experiences to help other women navigate the betrayal and healing process. From meeting her husband during their LDS mission in Armenia to building a life on a hobby farm in South Carolina, Katie's story is a testament to resilience and growth.

Together, Katie and I unpack the intricate layers of recovery from betrayal. We discuss the pivotal moments of honesty that helped shift the focus from addiction itself to underlying issues like shame and perfectionism. This episode emphasizes the importance of individual inner work, highlighting how separating personal growth from the addiction can transform a relationship. Monitoring a partner's behavior can be exhausting, but Katie offers insights into how focusing on personal development can pave a hopeful path towards a successful marriage.

Effective communication is key in tackling difficult subjects, and Katie shares practical strategies for discussing pornography with both partners and children. From the use of written notes to the significance of early, open conversations with kids, Katie provides actionable advice for fostering emotional education and creating a non-judgmental space for dialogue. Don't miss the valuable insights and resources, including Katie's work as the Christian Betrayal Coach on Instagram. This episode promises to equip you with the tools for healing, growth, and meaningful communication.
