    #132 When the Season Doesn’t Feel Merry: Honoring Grief, Creating Boundaries, and Finding Grace

    In this heartfelt episode, When the Season Doesn’t Feel Merry: Honoring Grief, Creating Boundaries, and Finding Grace, Hali and Stephanie talk about how to navigate the holidays when your heart is still healing from betrayal. The season that’s “supposed to be” full of joy and family connection can feel heavy and disorienting after trust has been broken. Together they explore how to name and honor the layers of grief that surface this time of year, release the pressure to perform or pretend, and give yourself permission to do things differently. You’ll hear honest reflections about how grief can show up for both partners — from sadness and guilt to numbness or overwhelm — and how authenticity can become the first step toward peace. They also share practical ways to protect your healing through boundaries, compassion, and grace. From creating a “holiday boundary check-in” to pausing for moments of shared breath and acknowledgment, this conversation offers tools to help couples stay grounded and connected through the discomfort. Whether you choose quiet simplicity or small new traditions, this episode is an invitation to honor your reality and care for your nervous system Thank you for tuning in!

    #131 When Healing Feels Exhausting

    Healing after betrayal is some of the hardest emotional work a person can face — and it is exhausting. Recovery requires constant emotional energy, rebuilding trust, courage, and change over time. That level of effort wears on everyone involved. In this episode, we acknowledge how draining the process can feel for both the betrayed partner and the partner in recovery, and how that exhaustion can affect the relationship. You’ll learn why fatigue is a normal part of healing, how to recognize when you’re shutting down, and what small practices can help each partner stay engaged without burning out. This conversation offers validation, understanding, and practical support for anyone navigating the long road back from relational trauma. You’re not weak. You’re not failing. You’re healing — and healing takes energy. Thank you for tuning in!

    #130 Honesty After Betrayal: Breaking the Cycle of Lying and Rebuilding Trust

    Lying often begins as self-protection—but in the aftermath of betrayal, it becomes one of the biggest barriers to rebuilding connection. In this solo episode, Hali explores why lying becomes a habit, how it deepens disconnection, and what it takes to courageously choose honesty as part of the healing journey. Whether you’re the partner in recovery or the betrayed partner navigating trust issues, this conversation is about more than just telling the truth—it’s about reclaiming integrity, safety, and authentic connection. “Honesty isn’t just about facts. It’s about aligning your inner and outer world—and that’s where real healing begins.” In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why lying becomes a default pattern in betrayal The hidden fears that fuel dishonesty (rejection, shame, loss of control) How dishonesty creates a cycle of disconnection and mistrust Practical steps to build honesty like a muscle—even in low-stakes moments How to repair trust through accountability and consistent truth-telling Why support systems matter in sustaining honesty and recovery Lying often starts as a survival skill—but it can’t coexist with real intimacy. Honesty is a practice, not a one-time choice. Rebuilding trust requires truth, accountability, and self-regulation. Both partners need safe spaces to process pain and grow.

    #127- When Choosing To Stay is Healthy vs Unhealthy

    Betrayal cuts deep, leaving both partners facing painful choices about the future of their relationship. For some, staying is the beginning of an authentic rebuilding process; for others, it becomes a form of self-betrayal. In this episode, we unpack the why and the how of staying after betrayal. We approach this conversation from both perspectives: the betrayed partner and the one who has betrayed. Together, we’ll explore what makes staying a healthy path toward healing—and when it becomes unhealthy, unsafe, or unwise.

    #126 Small Ways To Rebuild Trust

    Trust after betrayal doesn’t return with one big moment. It’s not only rebuilt through formal disclosures, powerful apologies, or recovery milestones—it’s the hundreds of small choices made day after day. In this episode, we talk about the power of micro-trust: those tiny interactions that slowly teach a partner’s heart and nervous system, “Maybe I can breathe again. Maybe I can risk hope.” You’ll learn: What micro-trust is and why it matters in healing after betrayal. Everyday examples of micro-trust builders that make a real difference. Common hurdles couples face when practicing micro-trust. Simple, steady ways to keep showing up, even when it feels overwhelming. Rebuilding trust is not about rushing or fixing it all at once. It’s about steady, consistent deposits that eventually create a foundation strong enough to hold safety, hope, and repair.Thank you for tuning in!
