After betrayal, it’s not just your heart that breaks—it’s your nervous system that goes into survival mode. If you’ve been feeling anxious, on edge, or emotionally numb, your body may be stuck in a trauma response. Today, I'm sharing why nervous system regulation is a vital (and often overlooked) part of healing from betrayal trauma—and why prayer alone isn’t enough when your body doesn’t feel safe.

You’ll discover 3 science-backed techniques to begin calming your body and restoring your peace—and none of them involve breathing exercises. I'm also shareing how these methods are woven into her 6-month Roadmap to Recovery coaching program for Christian women, launching July 7th.

🎙 Don’t miss this deeply healing conversation packed with neuroscience, biblical truth, and practical hope.

What does true intimacy look like through God’s eyes—and how do we reclaim it after the devastation of betrayal?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by my friend Michelle Castro, host of the Rip It Off Podcast, for a deeply honest conversation about biblical intimacy, sexual shame, and how to rebuild confidence after infidelity.

We unpack:

• What biblical intimacy actually is (and how it radically differs from the world’s version of sex and connection)

• Why reclaiming your sexual confidence is a vital step in the healing journey—especially for betrayed women

• What Scripture reveals about sexual wholeness in marriage

• How to break free from the lies of sexual shame with truth and grace

If you’ve ever struggled to feel worthy, wanted, or whole again after betrayal, this episode will give you clarity, courage, and Christ-centered hope.
