Rebuilding after an affair is one of the hardest challenges a marriage can face.
In this episode, I tackle a deeply personal question from a listener who’s navigating the aftermath of her husband’s infidelity. She’s a working mom of two who’s been blindsided by her partner’s affair and is grappling with intrusive thoughts, unanswered "why’s," and the emotional toll of rebuilding trust. Together, we unpack what early recovery looks like, why intrusive thoughts are normal (and how to manage them), and the steps both partners need to take to heal and rebuild.
I also dive into why the season of raising young kids is so hard on marriages, how betrayal can shake us to the core, and why healing requires empathy and understanding from both partners—even when one bears the sole responsibility for stepping outside the marriage. Whether you’ve experienced an affair in your own life or are seeking insight into relationship challenges, this episode is a compassionate guide to finding your way forward.
