Скачать или смотреть What Happens After the Affair? Rebuilding Self Identity, Trust, and Connection

Where is the line between accountability and compassion? Between transparency and privacy? Between shame and growth?

In this powerful and tender episode of The Connection Podcast, Lauren Dry sits down with Kristina Robertson, coach, speaker, and host of Intimacy After Infidelity, to explore the complexity of healing after you have crossed a line you never thought you would.

Together, they unpack the shame that keeps so many women silent, the surprising ways infidelity shows up, and the deeper stories beneath our choices.

Whether you have been impacted by infidelity, are navigating grief or rupture in your relationship, or simply want to understand what real repair looks like, this conversation will meet you with honesty, gentleness, and a whole lot of hope.

You’ll hear us explore:

Why infidelity is often a symptom, not the root issue
How shame creates silence, secrecy, and self-abandonment
The difference between remorse and true repair
Why the nervous system plays a key role in infidelity and healing
What it means to live in alignment spiritually, emotionally, and somatically

This is a tender, powerful conversation for anyone navigating rupture, repair, and the quiet rebuilding of self.
