Most people assume infidelity only matters when it becomes physical, but emotional infidelity can cut just as deep—and often deeper. When your partner gives emotional intimacy, attention, and affection to someone else, it leaves you questioning your place in the relationship and doubting your own instincts.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why emotional infidelity is so damaging, why it's often minimized, and what couples can do to protect their relationship from these subtle breaches of trust.They explore:Why betrayed partners often feel confused or pressured to minimize emotional cheatingHow “we're just friends” becomes one of the most common forms of denialThe danger of familiarity and unchecked closeness with someone outside the marriageWhy protecting exclusivity in emotional connection matters as much as sexual fidelityHow couples can set healthy boundaries that protect their emotional bondYou'll also hear Geoff and Jody share personal stories from their own marriage, illustrating how even innocent moments—like sharing music or interests too intimately with someone else—can cross emotional boundaries.This episode reframes emotional infidelity as a legitimate breach of trust that requires care, repair, and clarity. You'll learn how to recognize red flags, have honest conversations about boundaries, and protect what's sacred between you and your partner.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After Betrayal Get your copy here.______________________________Join the Courageous Together™ ProgramCourageous Together™ isn't just another course, it's a trauma-informed roadmap that holds both of you in the healing process.

We've all heard the phrase “honesty is the best policy.” But after betrayal, many couples find that simply telling the truth doesn't always bring the healing they hoped for. In fact, sometimes the way truth is shared causes even more pain, confusion, and distance.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody explore why truth on its own isn't enough to rebuild trust—and how it must be paired with safety, accountability, and compassion to actually repair a relationship.You'll hear:Why the way truth is shared can do more harm than goodHow betrayed partners experience “cold truth” that destabilizes rather than healsWhy recovering partners often confuse telling their story with telling the truthHow structure, timing, and accountability create safer truth-tellingWhy full healing requires equal ground, where both partners know the same truthGeoff and Jody unpack the tension between the betrayed partner's right to know and the recovering partner's responsibility to share honestly and safely. You'll learn why disclosure must be structured—not controlled—and how thoughtful truth-telling becomes the foundation for rebuilding trust.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

If you're the betrayed partner, you know what it's like to be hit with waves of emotion that feel impossible to control. One moment you're holding it together, and the next you're flooded with anger, grief, or fear. You may even wonder if you're too much—or if you're going crazy for reacting so strongly.And if you're the recovering partner, you know how unsettling it is to face these storms. You want predictability, calm, and a path forward, but instead you feel powerless and defensive. Both of you are left asking: Why does this keep happening, and what are we supposed to do with it?In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody pull apart this cycle so you can finally understand what's really happening underneath these reactions. They explore:Why betrayed partners' strong emotions are survival responses, not “overreactions”How shame fuels defensiveness and blame for the recovering partnerWhy this dynamic often gets mislabeled as a “marriage problem” instead of a betrayal issueThe different responsibilities of each partner in recovery—and why they're not the sameHow couples can begin to work with these emotions instead of against themThe key message: You're not crazy—you've been through something crazy. These strong emotions are a normal, human response to relational trauma. And when both partners can understand and lean into this truth, healing and connection can begin.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

When trust has been broken, the recovering partner often feels pressure to prove they can be trusted again. They may follow instructions perfectly, track progress, and work hard to “get it right.” But instead of bringing closeness, all that proving can backfire—turning the betrayed partner into an audience who feels pressured to respond with gratitude or forgiveness before they're ready.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack why proving often stalls healing and what it means to shift from proving trust to providing safety. They share: • Why performance-based proving creates pressure and can feel transactional • How providing safety relieves pressure and supports the betrayed partner's nervous system • Why safety—not proof—creates the soil where real trust can grow • How couples benefit when the focus shifts from evidence to presence • Practical ways betrayed and recovering partners can move forward at their own paceThe conversation highlights a simple but powerful reframe: trust isn't what builds safety—safety is what builds trust.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Do you ever feel like you're falling behind in healing? You look around and it seems like everyone else is moving forward while you're stuck, spinning, or even slipping backward. The truth is—you might be doing all the right things, but healing doesn't follow a straight line.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody unpack the belief that you're “behind” in recovery. They explore how this shows up differently for betrayed partners, recovering partners, and couples—and reveal what's really happening beneath the surface.You'll hear: • Why betrayed partners often feel years behind from the moment of discovery • How comparison, past wounds, and betrayal blindness intensify the feeling of being stuck • Why recovering partners live with the fear of being in the “perpetual doghouse” • How couples together can carry a sense of “couple shame” that erases past progress • Why healing is not linear, but layered and indirect—and why that's actually hopefulIf you've ever wondered whether you're doing recovery “right,” this episode will help you see that showing up—even when it feels messy—is part of the healing process.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

Using the story of “Sarah,” a mom running on empty from years of self-sacrifice, Tina unpacks how burnout, resentment, and guilt often come from ignoring our own needs.You'll discover the concept of wise selfishness—a perspective that transforms guilt into grounded self-care, boundaries into deeper love, and personal well-being into stronger family connection.If you've ever felt invisible, resentful, or guilty for saying no, this episode will help you see self-care in a new way: not as selfishness, but as the foundation of real connection.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy the belief that “taking care of yourself is selfish” quietly sabotages family relationshipsHow wise selfishness (a Buddhist teaching) reframes self-care as essential to love and connectionThe generational programming that teaches women to disappear in service of othersWhat happens when you suppress your needs—and why they eventually leak out as resentment or burnoutPractical ways to start honoring your needs without losing closeness with your familyResources & Next StepsReady to go deeper?

After betrayal, couples often find themselves trapped in a cycle. The unfaithful partner wants to explain, while the betrayed partner longs for real accountability. Instead of bringing clarity, explanations often sound like excuses. The betrayed partner feels dismissed, the unfaithful partner feels shut down, and the cycle repeats.In this episode of From Crisis to Connection, Geoff and Jody explore why this dynamic is so common and what couples can do differently. You'll hear:  Why betrayed partners feel torn between their own pain and their natural empathy  How betrayal blindness can lead to minimizing wounds just to keep the peace  Why the recovering partner's instinct to explain often blocks healing  How the order of repair—accountability first, explanation later—creates safety and trust  Practical steps both partners can take to break the cycle and move forwardUsing stories, clinical insights, and personal examples, Geoff and Jody show why accountability must come before explanation and how this shift can transform the healing process.______________________________Download the Free Resource: You, Me, Us - A Way Forward After BetrayalWhen betrayal has shaken your relationship, it can feel impossible to know where to begin.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with cybersecurity executive and thought leader Tammy Klotz to explore the profound impact of compassionate leadership in high-stakes environments. Tammy shares a deeply personal story of receiving crucial support from a leader during a professional and personal crisis—a moment that shaped her own leadership philosophy and redefined how she views strength in the workplace.We discuss what it means to show vulnerability in a world that often demands perfection, and why soft skills like emotional intelligence, grace, and empathy aren't optional—they're essential. Tammy opens up about how leaders can create psychological safety, establish rituals that foster connection and trust, and give explicit permission for authenticity, rest, boundaries, and even failure.This conversation is a masterclass in human-centered leadership and a reminder that some of the most powerful things leaders can offer don't come from a playbook—they come from the heart.Topics Covered:The moment a leader's support changed everythingCreating space for vulnerability in high-performing teamsWhy emotional intelligence and empathy are critical leadership skillsBuilding team rituals that support culture and connectionThe impact of leaders giving “permission” to be humanGuest Bio:Tammy Klotz is the Chief Information Security Officer at Trinseo, a Top 100 CISO, and the author of Leading with Empathy & Grace.

What if the thing you've been trying to fix your whole life isn't actually the thing that needs fixing? At 38, Patty Cabot began a journey that would unravel decades of emotional pain, body image struggles, and silence surrounding childhood trauma. In this raw and inspiring conversation, Patty shares how deep inner work—not dieting—finally brought her peace, perspective, and a surprising path to love. If you've ever felt stuck or wondered why certain patterns keep repeating, this episode offers powerful insight into healing, self-trust, and reclaiming your story.Guest Bio Beginning in her teens, Patty Cabot battled drastic weight fluctuations. Desperate to break the cycle and thinking it was what prevented her from meeting men, in her late 30s Patty embarked on a therapeutic journey that led to her unresolved childhood sexual abuse. Over 12 years she worked with her therapist and EMDR, a chiropractor to release trapped “fight or flight” responses, a sex therapist and attended group therapy for sexual abuse. Patty published Not That Girl Anymore, a memoir about the alternative therapies she explored in the hopes of undoing the ruin within to claim the happiness she – and everyone else struggling with trauma – deserves.Turning 40 and finding the wound beneath the weightWhat if the thing you've been battling for decades - your weight, your relationships, your shame - was never the real issue? This week's guest, Patty Cabot, spent 20 years trapped in a cycle of yo-yo dieting, self-doubt, and emotional isolation before a turning point at 38 led her to finally confront the childhood trauma she thought she had long since buried and forgotten about. Through therapy, unconventional healing modalities, and a fierce determination to find love and wholeness, Patty transformed her life from the inside out. In this episode, you'll hear about:*Trigger warning* discussion of childhood sexual abuse; no detailsHow a cycle of weight loss and gain led Patty to uncover deeper unresolved traumaThe transformative power of EMDR therapy and what it taught her about her pastWhy anger was the only emotion she could access, and how she learned to feel moreHow vulnerability became a gateway to healing and connectionThe role running (literally!) played in finding love and confidenceWhy publishing her book helped lift the final layer of shameThe profound insight: “it's not your shame, and it's not your secret to keep”Patty Cabot's midlife transition is a powerful example of what's possible when we stop treating the symptom and start addressing the root cause. After decades of believing her weight and romantic struggles were the problem, Patty finally faced her childhood trauma head-on, peeling back the layers of self-protection to rediscover her worth and capacity for love. Her healing wasn't linear, but it was bold, and in the process, she transformed shame into self-acceptance and silence into storytelling. Today, she's helping others believe that healing is not only possible—it's worth it.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, follow, and share The Big Four Oh wherever you listen to podcasts.
