If you’ve just ended an affair—or maybe you’ve confessed and you’re still spinning in shame—you might be wondering: Where do I even start?
I know what it feels like to be frozen in confusion. To believe you have to fix everything. To feel like you’re the problem. But healing isn’t about fixing your marriage first or spilling every tiny detail. Your first step is coming home to yourself and God.
In this episode, I’ll share what those early days looked like for me—what actually helped me move forward, the biggest misconceptions women believe at the start of this journey, and the one gentle but powerful next step I recommend for you right now.
What you’ll learn in this episode: 
✔ Why your first step is not fixing your marriage or earning everyone’s trust 
✔ How shame shows up and keeps you stuck in secrecy 
✔ What healing really involves—your mind, heart, soul, and body 
✔ The one small shift that started my journey home

74 | Where Do I Even Start With Healing After My Affair?

The Go-to Podcast for Christian Women Who Want to Heal Their Heart to Shed Their Shame!

*RANKED TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY*

Do you wish someone would stop and see you, instead of looking through you or past you? Are you Googling ways to communicate and connect with your husband, but you’re still not feeling heard? Do you lay awake at night wondering if your marriage can survive infidelity or what’s the first step to file for divorce? Your vows are broken, and you’re so full of shame that you’re sure there’s no way God or your husband could possibly forgive you.

I am so grateful you’re here! This podcast will help you find hope, get a grasp on your emotions at a deeper level, and learn how to get raw and honest with God like your life depends on it- because it does. You’ll also get coaching for the steps along the journey of restoration, communication, and trust.

Hey, I’m Kristina Joy. Forgiven daughter of Jesus, Mom, and Coach. For years, I tried to break free from my infidelity in all the wrong ways. I tried by sheer willpower, I tried reading my Bible more, and I even considered joining a 12-step program. None of it worked.

I finally realized that if I was going to find true freedom in my life, I needed to let Jesus heal some deep wounds in my heart. Through prayer, a whole lot of research, and developing new healthy habits, I was finally able to find healing to shed my shame once and for all. I learned I could choose to leave the affair behind. I could choose to pursue my own emotional healing and growth, no matter if my marriage survived or not. I could create new healthy habits that would move me forward in confidence, with strength and dignity. And I am SO ready to share what I’ve learned with you!

If you are ready to finally find your true self in Christ,
Experience ultimate freedom from your bondage,
Feel authentic connection without the secrets,
And move forward with strength and dignity,

Then find your safe space and pop in those earbuds. I’m about to show you that intimacy after infidelity is possible, and life can be way better than it ever was before. Get ready- let’s rebuild your intimacy better than it’s ever been!
