Serenity on Steroids

Why do people cheat? In this long-awaited, powerful episode of Serenity on Steroids, we move beyond the surface-level judgment and dive deep into the real root cause of infidelity: impaired self-worth.We unravel how a foundational lie of worthlessness, often planted in childhood, manifests as jealousy, projection, and the fear of abandonment, ultimately leading to the destructive path of cheating. This isn't about excuses; it's about understanding the “why” so we can find true healing.But this isn't just a diagnosis. This is a message of hope and victory. We explore how this deep wound points us to the only one who can heal it, and how Jesus Christ bore our wound of worthlessness on the cross, exchanging our shame for His worth and our identity as orphans for our destiny as children of the King.If you've ever struggled with feelings of not being enough, feared abandonment, or are trying to understand why relationships around you are failing, this episode is for you. This is a journey from brokenness to freedom, from shame to beloved identity.Keywords discussed: Infidelity, cheating, self-worth, self-esteem, fear of abandonment, projection, jealousy, marriage, relationships, healing, childhood wounds, identity in Christ, Gospel, healing, Catholic faith.

Vianca Joy describes the feeling of fear she endured before posting her first podcast episode, addressing the fear and working through it, only to realise that the fear is only in your head, and pushing through that fear will make you stronger. She talks about her past and ways that she failed to follow through, and hopes that will not be the case with her podcast venture.This episode then gets into the topic of relationships, and specifically the way we behave in relationships, and how this can be traced back to how we were treated by our caregivers.Vianca describes the experiment done by psychologists called Strange Situation, which describes attachment theory. There are four attachment styles, being Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, and Disorganized. She addresses how a child with this attachment style would behave and then how this is carried over into adulthood, and how we behave in romantic relationships. She describes the tumultuous pairing of the anxious and the avoidant, and why adults with these attachment styles are so drawn to eachother. And says what we can do to have a more secure style in a relationship. Sources:Wikipedia contributors. (2019, October 15). Strange situation. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
