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!

One of the greatest pieces of advice I've been given on my journey is: Honesty is kindness. It took me a while to grow into that, but when I did, it radically changed things for me.
It all starts with honesty. Yes, speaking truth instead of lies, but also speaking UP instead of hiding in fear and shame.
Who do you need to be more honest with right now?

ONE spot left to begin coaching in September! Let's connect HERE!
One of the biggest lessons I learned after confessing my affair and beginning my healing journey was that God wasn't interested in an agenda. He was not in a hurry for me to heal. He was after my heart, and He wanted me to slow down enough to hear Him.
So what did I do while 3 kids were in school and the baby was napping? I sat at my kitchen table and opened my Bibl...

But what do we do with the butterflies in our stomach? How do we handle the compliments that are truly flattering?

Friend, I am so grateful Jesus was a human just like us. That means I can study Scripture to see what He did, and I want to do that too!
One thing Jesus did was have regular times of REST. He got alone. He prayed. He listened. He enjoyed God's presense, on purpose.
I'm so excited to do that too. Stay tuned for future episodes of Intimacy After Infidelity- after this season of resting in God!

Last episode, we talked about getting out of your head and taking back control of your mind and thoughts. Today, I think it's equally as important to talk about our bodies.
God made our bodies and called them very good. But do you ever struggle with wanting to go back to your former way of living? The one that didn't honor your body how God intended?
Join me as I walk through a few Scripture passages and remind us of what God says....
