Is true healing after infidelity really possible? When trust is shattered by betrayal, the pain often feels insurmountable—turning love and certainty into confusion, grief, and self-doubt. The world seems to shift on its axis, leaving many to quietly question whether relationships can ever fully recover or whether individuals can truly reclaim safety and a sense of self after such a rupture. In this episode, listeners will discover compassionate guidance for facing the aftermath of intimate betrayal and pathways toward real healing. The conversation explores why facing uncomfortable truths is a necessary starting point, what it means to rebuild safety and internal clarity, and how to find empowerment amidst pressure from others and oneself. Moving through foundational steps and the common phases of recovery, this episode offers both validation and tools for anyone unsure of what comes next—reminding listeners that, with intentional effort, hope and growth are within reach.

Can grief cause physical symptoms? Learn how loss may affect cortisol, inflammation, hormone balance, heart health, sleep, energy, and the nervous system. Grief is not only an emotional experience. It can affect the brain and body, yet many people feel pressured to stay strong, move on, or process their loss alone. In this episode, grief expert David Kessler explains what grief does to us physically and emotionally, why grief must be witnessed, and how meaningful healing can begin.We explore the five stages of grief, why they are not linear, and the misconceptions surrounding denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. David also shares how losing his 21-year-old son led him to identify meaning as the sixth stage of grief and explains why meaning is not found in the tragedy itself, but in what we choose to do afterward.David and Dr. Taz discuss the physical symptoms of grief, broken heart syndrome, post-traumatic growth, isolation, grief in men, and what to say when someone you love is grieving. They also explain why grief can result from divorce, betrayal, job loss, illness, lost identity, or the loss of the future you expected, not only the death of a loved one.This conversation is for educational purposes and should not replace individualized medical or mental health care.

We've got to be careful how we handle our difficult times of sadness and grief. That includes being careful who we listen to -- even well-meaning people who care about us, but have not yet made much progress in overcoming their own trauma. Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer, where I'll share how I listened to the wrong people this weekend, and it wasn't good.

Grief is something that we all end up having a some point in our lives. Most of us get through it as best as we can but we try not to dwell on it.For survivors of abuse we are challenged by sometimes having considerably more loss in our lives than most other people, but that doesn't mean that we are better at handling it.For some of us grief can be overwhelming and make us lose focus on what really matters in our lives.How do we honor our grief and still function and thrive. That is the challenge that we have especially if we try not to face it because we are afraid of it taking over our lives.We all go through grief so we might as well learn how to handle it.https://www.nolongerashamed.org/https://www.facebook.com/nolongerashamed.org/bolgerkevin@gmail.com

You know the thing that would help. You have known for a while. You still have not done it. Dr. Aimie recognized herself in the research on learned helplessness. For a long stretch of her life she expected everything to be hard, expected to fail, and quietly stopped trying without ever deciding to. It is not laziness. It is a body that learned effort did not matter and powered the effort down. In this Part 2 conversation, recorded in Josh Trent's Austin studio, they talk about what separates resting from escaping, why the drive built on your own wound eventually stops working, and how a little safety is enough to take the next step. This is Part 2 of two. Part 1 is here: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/post/why-do-we-escape-instead-of-rest-josh-trent-on-emotional-epigenetics WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: 02:04 How to tell resting from escaping 04:25 The three questions behind your purpose 06:48 Why the fuel of your own wound stops working 07:58 Grieving the old identity 10:05 Why showing up takes borrowed energy 13:24 Conditioned happiness and the opposite he found 17:18 The Seabiscuit story and learned helplessness 21:45 Recognizing the pattern in someone else 26:49 What most people misunderstand about a leader 30:20 Freedom fuels flow, fear fuels force 31:27 Why curiosity needs safety first   RESOURCES: Take the free 2-Minute Assessment for Stored Trauma.

There's a kind of grief that doesn't have a name.It's not the grief of losing someone. It's not the grief of a marriage that ended. It's the grief of mourning a version of your relationship that's gone — while you're still living inside it.Today's episode is for the woman who has been carrying that quietly, heavily, with nowhere to put it.You'll learn:

This episode was originally published in February 2026. In today's episode, we're covering a topic that isn't often spoken about, but is estimated to affect around one in four families: family estrangement. It's a subject that writer and Irish Times contributor Laura Kennedy wrote about recently in her Substack, detailing the complicated grief she experienced following the death of her father late last year - a man she hadn't seen in over a decade. In today's episode, Kennedy joins Róisín Ingle to reflect on the strange, unsettling reality of losing a parent whose death changes almost nothing in her daily life.

Jack Osbourne grew up with cameras in the house. The Osbourne's made his family the biggest thing on television, and he was earning seven figures by 15. He got sober at 17 and has held that line for over two decades. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 26. Since then he's built his own lane — adventure television, paranormal investigation, two podcasts, and a purple belt in jiu-jitsu. Last July, his father played the biggest farewell show in rock history. Seventeen days later, Ozzy was gone. This conversation carries weight and goes sideways in equal measure. Making serious money as a kid and learning the hard way that the people hired to protect it don't always deserve the trust. Grieving a parent while untangling the business that comes with a famous last name. The final concert — a living wake where his dad got to say goodbye on his own terms — and the week at home together afterward. Then the throttle opens: the UFC card on the White House South Lawn, a month in the Australian jungle on 500 calories a day, ghost stories he can't explain, the Nazca mummies, a plan to buy a decommissioned aircraft carrier, and bringing OzFest back.

It’s a cold July night in Melbourne in 2013 when an elderly neighbour hears terrifying screams coming from the home next door. When police arrive, they find 49-year-old Teresa Mancuso murdered in her parent's garage, the victim of a vicious act of family violence at the hands of her ex-husband. Though Teresa’s two sons, Daniel and Luke, knew immediately who was responsible, it would take two excruciating years of living in fear before their father was finally arrested and charged. Grieving and back in the house where their mother died, the brothers found unexpected hope through the fence. Their Greek neighbour, a loving grandmother, began passing home-cooked meals to the boys, adopting them as her own and ultimately inspiring a movement now known as Yiayia Next Door. In this episode of True Crime Conversations, Daniel Mancuso joins us to reflect on his mother’s legacy, navigating deep grief, breaking the cycle of family violence, and turning community kindness into a powerful movement for change.

What if you don't actually need a vacation... because you're not burnt out?What if you're grieving the version of your life you thought you'd have by now?In this deeply honest solo episode of That's That On That Podcast, I unpack the difference between burnout and grief—the grief that comes from unmet expectations, delayed dreams, lost opportunities, broken plans, and watching life unfold differently than you imagined.We live in a culture that tells us to "keep grinding," but sometimes what we're really carrying isn't exhaustion... it's disappointment. And until we acknowledge what we've lost, it's hard to rebuild what's next.In this episode, we dive into:    •    Why burnout and grief can feel almost identical    •    The emotional weight of expectations vs. reality    •    Learning to let go of timelines that no longer serve you    •    How setbacks can become the foundation for a different, and sometimes better, future    •    Rebuilding your identity after life doesn't go according to planIf you've ever looked around and wondered, "How did I end up here?"—this conversation is for you.

We all understand the emotional impact of grief, but its effects on the body are often overlooked. Forrest is joined by clinical psychologist and researcher Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor to explore the physiology of grief. Dr. O'Connor explains how our brains and bodies organize themselves around the people we love, creating “maps” of their presence and relying on them for physical and emotional regulation. They discuss the health risks associated with bereavement, how to care for the healing body, ambiguous loss, the difference between grief and prolonged grief, and how we can gradually build a meaningful life around loss. About our Guest: Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor is a Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Arizona and Director of the Grief, Loss, and Social Stress Laboratory. She is the author of two books on grief: The Grieving Brain and The Grieving Body.

Do you trust your own thoughts during times of deep grief? Personally, I don't. We have a spiritual enemy who seeks to exploit our pain by whispering lies to us -- lies about God, lies about others, and lies about ourselves. Believing these lies can be devastating. In Today's Daily Word & Prayer, I identify some of the lies I have been tempted to believe. Join me and learn how to combat them.

Kaitlyn Tiffany describes how FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover quickly established the "lone gunman" theory, asserting Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots from the Texas School Book Depository. However, Shirley Martin, a grieving Oklahoma housewife, began independently investigating the case and badgering the FBI with tips. Her relentless correspondence frustrated Hoover, who viewed her as a nuisance to the bureau's formal investigation. Martin interviewed overlooked witnesses in Dallas and became a key critic of the official narrative. (6)1961

Some problems can't be fixed. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one, you can't get them back. We can be grateful for the people who show us love and concern (and I am grateful for all those who have done so with me), but there's a grief that can't be spoken; there's a pain goes on and on. It's in these times God wants to do what no person can do. He brings a peace beyond comprehension. Prayer in times of dispair is an important way we experience this grace from God. In today's Daily Word & Prayer, I will pray for people who are suffering grief and need to find the comfort of God

My beloved wife, Roz, passed away 28 days ago. In today's Daily Word & Prayer, I share with you some things I've learned about helping a grieving person (specifically, helping me).

Today's voice note is a quick riff. If you've ever missed an older version of yourself, the bubblier one, the funnier one, the one who was always on, this episode is for you. I'm getting into why that version of you existed in the first place, what actually happens to our personas as we heal, and the moments when that playful side still shows up (hint: it has everything to do with who makes you feel safe). Plus the inner child piece that ties it all together.If this hits, my shadow work meditation for self-worth is free on Insight Timer.Tell me in the comments or DM me on IG: which version of you do you miss the most?Topics we discuss: grieving your old self, identity shifts, masking, personas, people pleasing, inner child healing, shadow work, self-worth, nervous system regulation, feeling safe to be yourself, authenticity, self-expressionTikTok: ⁠@iam.alexischristine⁠Instagram: ⁠@iam.alexischristine⁠Explore more:

Listen to today's podcast... The loss of a child is the most stressful and inconsolable of losses to deal with. It violates the natural order of things and it's not fair for an innocent to see their dreams unfulfilled. I watched as my husband`s parents grieved for the loss of their son, my husband`s only sibling.  I watched how my brother-in-law`s wife`s parents grieved for the loss of their daughter. Together they were killed by a drunk and drugged driver. Their pain was evident and their grieving styles so different, as was the responses of their family and friends. Often, we don't know what to say or do for grieving parents, so we do nothing. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency Through Bereaved Parents Awareness Month: Don`t avoid the parents. It is okay for you to not know what to say or how to help. A listening ear may be what they need the most. I love the sentiment that one parent received from a friend:  “Grieve well. One day you will cease to remember him with tears and instead remember him with smiles.” Don`t avoid important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries, but provide an opportunity for the parent to grieve and remember and not feel like they must hold the grief under control. Be aware and provide support for both the health of the bereaved parents and their relationships. According to research, bereaved mothers and fathers experience more physical and emotional issues than do non-bereaved parents, including severe depression. It is estimated that over 70% of marriages where a child has died, end in separation or divorce. Be patient. Grieving parents may think, do, and say things that are very unlike who they really are and as their family and friends, our job is to be there for them and not judge their reactions as justified or unfair.

First Man (2017) is a “documentary” with an interesting relationship to scientific facts and a disturbing view of human nature. It follows human evolution through four reconstructed ancestors: an early beta cuck ape from Spain; a Tate stan basal hominin from Chad; an ancestral alpha mogger from South Africa; and a brainmaxxing sigma arsonist from China. Join us as we break down the silly walks, unnecessarily blurred monkey genitals, and (content warning!) graphic sexual assault.

Some of the deepest grief we experience isn't losing a relationship. It's realizing the relationship can no longer carry what it once did. As we mature, we begin to recognize that love and trust are not the same thing. We can forgive someone, honor them, and still discern that they no longer have the capacity to steward our deepest confidence. In this episode of God's Vibes, we're talking about the quiet grief of relational change—what happens when wisdom invites us to adjust boundaries, steward our hearts, and honor what people consistently demonstrate rather than what we hope they'll become. We'll explore what Scripture teaches about guarding your heart, discerning patterns, and following Jesus' example of loving everyone while giving different levels of access based on purpose and trust. If you've been navigating disappointment, shifting friendships, leadership, or changing relationships, this conversation is an invitation to grieve with God instead of growing bitter. Sometimes maturity doesn't mean loving people less. It means stewarding your heart more wisely.     Experience transformation inside Courage Co.

We answer listener questions about the struggle of having sexual intimacy after miscarriage, grieving the long lack of intimacy, whether a wife should self-pleasure after her husband's betrayal shut down sex, and how to maintain sexual intimacy with adult kids living at home. Sponsor Join podcast co-host J. Parker and Brad & Kate Aldrich of Aldrich Ministries Coaching Network for a 7-day cruise starting Valentine's Day 2027! Click HERE to learn more about this opportunity to sail to better intimacy. From the Bible The Message Paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 7:3–6: Certainly—but only within a certain context. It's good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. Sexual drives are strong, but marriage is strong enough to contain them and provide for a balanced and fulfilling sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality—the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to "stand up for your rights." Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it's for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it. I'm not, understand, commanding these periods of abstinence—only providing my best counsel if you should choose them.

This week on Agony Aunties, they answer a listener's heartfelt question about what happens when a relationship begins to feel different. After two and a half years together, her boyfriend seems less affectionate, leaving her questioning whether this is simply the natural evolution of long-term love or a sign that something deeper has changed. The Agony Aunties explore why we so often create stories in our minds before having the conversation we most need to have, how old attachment patterns can shape our fears in relationships, and why vulnerability - not mind-reading - is the key to real intimacy. They also share practical tools from Esther Perel, the Gottmans and Terry Real on bids for connection, love languages, and how to have difficult conversations with warmth rather than blame. If you've ever found yourself analysing texts, worrying you've become 'too much', or wondering how to reconnect with your partner, this episode is for you.

Hey lovers! We are so excited to share this incredibly potent conversation with the one and only Preston Smiles. Preston is a devoted husband, a father of four, a profound teacher, and a massive pillar in the personal development and men's work space.In this episode, we dive deep into the messy, beautiful, and deeply spiritual practice of long-term partnership and parenthood. Preston opens up about his personal journey—from facing a life-altering heart condition at 25 to dedicating his life to service—and how that shaped the way he shows up for his family today.We explore what it really means to hold boundaries with children through deep love and containment, why our partners trigger our hidden "outlawed parts," and how true relationships require us to burn down our fantasies of the "happily ever after" to build something real. We also have a deeply moving conversation about honoring the feminine, the profound biological journey women go through, and why our culture's fear of aging is robbing us of true eldership.This conversation is a massive expansion on what it means to be a devoted partner, parent, and human.
