15 min - 96 | Resetting Rhythms for a New Year After Ending An Affair
📣 The Group Coaching Experience is open! DM GROUP on Instagram or email [email protected] to join the sisterhood today!
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.

About Intimacy After Infidelity | Cut Contact, Rebuild Trust, Shed Shame, Avoid Divorce, Forgiveness for Adultery
From the publisher's feed
The go-to podcast for Christian women who are ready to heal their hearts, shed their shame, and come home to freedom in Christ.
Ranked Top 2% Globally
Do you ever wish someone would truly see you, not look past you or through you?
Are you lying awake at night wondering if your marriage can survive infidelity...or if it’s time to let go?
Are you exhausted from Googling answers, trying to fix things, and still feeling unheard, unseen, and stuck in shame
You’re not alone. And you’re in the right place.
This podcast is a sacred, steady space for women navigating betrayal, emotional disconnection, separation, or the aftermath of an affair, who want more than surface-level faith answers. Here, we talk honestly about the heart, the body, the soul, and the brain, and what it actually looks like to let Jesus heal what’s been wounded.
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Kristina Joy, forgiven daughter of Jesus, mom, and coach. For years, I tried to break free from my own infidelity through sheer willpower, "doing more," and striving to be better. I read my Bible more. I tried to behave my way into freedom. None of it worked.
Everything changed when I stopped trying to fix myself and allowed Jesus to meet me in the deeper places like my pain, my patterns, my unmet needs. Through prayer, research, embodied healing practices, and new rhythms of truth and grace, I discovered real freedom. Not just from the affair, but from shame, secrecy, and self-abandonment.
On this podcast, you’ll find:
Whether your marriage is being rebuilt or released, you are allowed to heal. You are allowed to choose freedom. You are allowed to become whole.
If you’re ready to:
Stop living in secrecy and self-condemnation
Experience God’s love without fear or striving
Break familiar patterns for good
Live with clarity, strength, dignity, and peace
Then take a breath, find your safe space, and press play.
This is where healing begins and where you come home to yourself, with Jesus.
