  When the Choice Is Not the Hard Part

  Sep 25, 202622 min

  Maybe making the decision isn't actually the hardest part... We can spend so much energy trying to decide whether to stay, leave, set a boundary, speak up, or take a step forward. But what happens after we choose, when fear, doubt, grief, or someone else's disappointment shows up? In this episode, I'm exploring the difference between making a conscious choice and having the conviction to stand behind it. I'll show you why discomfort after a decision doesn't necessarily mean you made the wrong one, and how constantly reopening your choices can leave you exhausted and disconnected from yourself. We'll look at how fear, people pleasing, old conditioning, and the need for approval can influence our decisions, especially after infidelity and during major relationship transitions. I'll also give you practical questions to help you recognize where your choices are coming from and what it means to put your full weight behind them. Listen in and learn how to trust yourself, hold your choices with conviction, and move forward. Work with me: Join the Truth Teller Circle . It begins October 13th.

  The Question Beneath the Question - September Q & A

  Sep 18, 202649 min

  What if the question you keep asking after betrayal isn't actually the question that will help you heal? In this episode, I'm answering listener questions about infidelity, broken trust, boundaries, trickle truth, affair recovery, forgiveness, and why betrayal can still hurt years later. But rather than stopping at the surface question, I'm looking at the deeper question underneath it. So often after betrayal, we focus on understanding someone else: Does he love me? Will he change? Does he understand my pain? But healing begins to shift when we turn our attention back toward ourselves. Can I trust what I see? Can I honor what I know? Can I stop abandoning myself while waiting for someone else to give me certainty? We'll explore what emotional safety and real repair actually look like, why understanding alone doesn't heal betrayal trauma, and how rebuilding self-trust can change the way you move forward. Listen in, and if you're ready to learn how to trust yourself and live more fully in your truth, I invite you to reach out. Work with me: Join the Truth Teller Circle . It begins October 13th.

  When Two People Are Living in Different Realities

  Sep 11, 202633 min

  What happens when you and someone you love experience the same relationship in completely different ways? After infidelity, this can feel especially disorienting. One person may believe things are getting better while the other is barely holding it together. In this episode, I'm exploring how we can make room for someone else's emotional reality without abandoning our own. I share a powerful dream inspired by The Phantom of the Opera that helped me see how easily empathy can turn into taking responsibility for someone else's feelings. There's an important difference between caring deeply about someone's pain and allowing their pain to determine what you're allowed to think, feel, need, or choose. I'll walk you through practical ways to separate facts from interpretations, hold healthy boundaries, take responsibility for what's truly yours, and stay connected to yourself even when someone sees things differently. If you've been losing yourself trying to understand, reassure, or keep the peace with someone else, I hope you'll listen. You can love deeply without leaving yourself behind.

  Can a Marriage Be Stronger After Infidelity - with Zach Brittle

  Jul 10, 202646 min

  Can a marriage actually become stronger after infidelity? In this conversation with marriage therapist Zach Brittle, I explore one of the biggest questions people ask after betrayal. We talk honestly about what disclosure should look like, why so many people get stuck asking questions that don't actually lead to healing, and how it's possible to rebuild a relationship from a place of greater awareness instead of simply trying to get back to what once was. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Zach's reminder that healing begins when we stop asking whether we're crazy, alone, or somehow to blame. We also discuss why infidelity is often a symptom of deeper issues, what true accountability looks like, and why learning to become "interesting" in the way we respond to pain can completely change our story. If you're wondering whether healing is possible — or whether your relationship can survive this — you'll find hope, honesty, and practical wisdom throughout this episode. In this episode, we cover: Why infidelity is often a symptom rather than the core problem The three questions nearly every betrayed partner asks What healthy disclosure should and shouldn't include How couples can build a stronger second marriage with each other Why becoming your own source of stability changes everything If you're ready to stop surviving and begin creating a life you truly want, I'd love to support you. Reach out, explore the resources below, and know that healing is absolutely possible. hello@andreagiles.com More on Zach: Zach has spent nearly 20 years teaching, coaching, mentoring, and counseling couples. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Certified Gottman Therapist (CGT), and a Relational Life Therapist. Zach is the host of Marriage Therapy Radio and the author of the bestselling relationship guides The Relationship Alphabet and The Marriage Therapy Journal. His work has been featured in Vanity Fair, Men's Health, Real Simple, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Zach has been happily married to his wife, Rebecca, for 25 of their 28 years together. They live in Seattle with their two adult daughters.

  Episode #247

  Is It Relief of Real Repair?

  Jun 26, 202623 min

  When we're hurting, it's natural to reach for anything that makes the pain stop. After infidelity, that might look like seeking reassurance, checking a phone, staying busy, venting repeatedly, or even rushing back into closeness before real healing has happened. In this episode, I explore one of the most important distinctions in recovery: the difference between relief and repair. Relief isn't wrong. Sometimes we genuinely need it. But relief and healing are not the same thing. Relief quiets the discomfort temporarily. Repair changes us at the root. I share examples of how we often reach for quick emotional relief without realizing we're bypassing the deeper work that creates lasting peace, trust, and confidence. If you've found yourself stuck in recurring cycles of fear, suspicion, hypervigilance, or emotional exhaustion, this episode will help you identify what's really happening beneath the surface and show you how to begin building the muscle of true healing. In this episode, we cover: The difference between emotional relief and emotional repair Why reassurance-seeking can keep you stuck How to rebuild trust in yourself after betrayal Hidden relief habits that look healthy on the surface Why discomfort is often required for lasting healing If you're ready to stop settling for temporary relief and start creating real change, I'd love to help. Reach out and let's talk about what true healing can look like for you. hello@andreagiles.com Work with me: Get Your Life Back After Infidelity - 12 Months Access: https://portal.andreagiles.com/offers/QFkZ2Cp2/checkout More from me: Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/theinfidelitycoach/ YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@healfrominfidelity/podcasts Have a question you'd like me to answer on the podcast?
