When betrayal trauma enters a relationship, it often changes how women see themselves.Suddenly the body becomes a project. A problem to fix. Something to evaluate through the imagined eyes of others.This episode explores self-objectification, a trauma response many women develop after betrayal, pornography exposure, body shaming, or cultural conditioning.Listen to learn:Why betrayal makes other women feel threateningHow hypersexualized culture shapes body shameThe difference between living in your body vs. observing itWhy self-objectification disconnects women from their intuitionPractical ways to rebuild safety in your bodyChapters02:03 Betrayal and Seeing Humanity07:28 Body Awareness Micropractice08:34 Sexual Shame11:25 Personal Stories of Body Shaming17:51 Signs and Costs of Self-Objectification22:10 Porn Culture28:22 Reclaiming Your Body Again32:25 Three Steps to Heal39:50 Somatic Grounding Practice*NEW* Help Her Heal men's group is starting in April.

Accountability is one of the most talked-about — and most misunderstood — parts of betrayal recovery.For many couples healing after infidelity or sexual betrayal, the word accountability can feel loaded with fear: punishment, humiliation, endless judgment, or never being able to move forward.But true accountability isn't about being shamed.It's about becoming trustworthy again.In this episode of Choosing to Stay, Hali Roderick breaks down what accountability actually means after betrayal trauma, what it doesn't mean, and why accountability is one of the most essential ingredients in rebuilding safety, trust, and long-term repair.This conversation is especially powerful for partners who want to do better but don't know how to stay present with the impact of what they've done — and for betrayed partners who are tired of carrying the emotional labor of recovery alone.Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

Betrayal trauma is often talked about as a couple's crisis, but betrayal is never contained to the marriage alone.In this episode, Hali Roderick and her daughter Morgan Ellsworth explore the often-overlooked impact of parental betrayal on children and the entire family system.As professionals in the betrayal trauma field, and as a mother and daughter who have firsthand experience, they invite listeners into an essential conversation on generational healing, witnessing, and family recovery. They discuss how children often feel the impact of betrayal in the family, without the truth to give language to their experience. Without support, they often carry confusion, self-blame, and unprocessed grief into adulthood.Together, they discuss how children often sit in an unaware and disempowered place and why compassionate witnessing, emotional validation, and developmentally appropriate disclosure are essential for restoring agency and safety.Healing is messy. It is courageous. And it is possible across generations. View the Typology of Witness Grid mentioned in this episode HERE.Join the Interest List for our upcoming course for parents: Intentional Parenting After Betrayal.Read ⁠Witnessing Wonder and Hope⁠  (⁠Full Study⁠)Connect with Morgan on Instagram and listen to her podcast, Healing Betrayed Families.You can email her directly at morgan.ellsworth98@gmail.com.Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

Grief is one of the most misunderstood parts of betrayal recovery — especially for couples who are choosing to stay.In this episode, Hali Roderick explores how grief shows up differently for betrayed partners and betraying partners, why couples often feel out of sync in the healing process, and how the APSATS Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPTM) helps couples navigate grief in the post-traumatic growth phase.You'll learn why “parallel grief” is normal, how grief becomes a relational stressor, and what healthy shared grieving can actually look like after infidelity and betrayal trauma.This episode offers practical conversation prompts, trauma-sensitive insight, and hope for couples learning how to stay human together in the aftermath of betrayal.Listen to my other episodes on grief that I mention in the episode:#146 Grief After Betrayal: What Men Lose—and Why It Matters for Healing#21 The Grief Nobody Talks About After Betrayal (Coming 2/23/26)#22 Part 1: The Early Grief Phases You Didn't Expect After Betrayal (Coming 3/2/26)#23 Part 2: From Grief to Growth Part 2 (Coming 3/9/26)Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

Resentment isn't bitterness or weakness, and it doesn't mean you're failing at healing. In this conversation, we unpack how resentment develops after betrayal trauma, how it protects you from further harm, and why suppressing it can lead to emotional shutdown, hypervigilance, and loss of joy.Chapters01:35 Understanding Anger vs. Resentment02:37 The Roots of Resentment04:54 Manifestations of Resentment07:49 Instinctive Defenses and Resentment09:32 The Traps of Resentment13:58 Healing from ResentmentRegister Now!✨Courage to Thrive - This intensive brings together expert trauma specialists in the serene Utah mountains for a transformative experience that goes beyond healing—it's about getting your power back.

Grief after betrayal is rarely talked about—especially when it comes to men.In this episode, we explore grief after betrayal for men, including men in recovery, men who have caused harm, and men who have betrayed themselves. While grief is often associated with sadness or loss through death, betrayal creates layers of invisible loss that many men carry without language—or permission—to acknowledge.I'm joined by Joseph McKinley who is a Pastor and Recovery Coach at Greenway Recovery as well as a coaching colleague of mine at Choose Recovery Services, where he supports individuals and families navigating sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma. His work focuses on helping men face truth with compassion, integrity, and responsibility—without bypassing the grief that healing requires.You don't have to navigate grief, recovery, or betrayal alone.

Resentment doesn't always look like anger. In addiction recovery and betrayal healing, it often shows up quietly—through defensiveness, withdrawal, or feeling controlled.In Part 3 of our Resentment series, we explore:Why sharing resentment too early can emotionally burden your partnerHow resentment forms underneath shame, fear, and loss of controlThe role of emotional containment in creating real safetyWhy empathy without boundaries is harmfulHow deeper emotional work reduces defensiveness and prevents relapseChapters00:24 Understanding Resentment in Recovery02:05 Timing and Responsibility in Sharing Resentment04:13 Containment and Emotional Regulation06:14 Common Triggers of Resentment06:54 Parts Work and Internal Conflicts11:25 Empathy, Boundaries, and Emotional Maturity22:15 Grieving and Letting Go of the Past27:13 Benefits of Deep Emotional WorkRegister Now!

After serving 15 years for his role in the disappearance and murder of Spanish Fork teen Kiplyn Davis, Timmy Brent Olsen is being released from prison today. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2011, saying he didn't kill Kiplyn in 1995 but saw someone else do it and helped move the body. After more than 30 years since the 15-year-old's disappearance, Olsen has never said who he helped or where they moved her body. And to this day, Kiplyn's family still does not have closure. In this Deep Dive: Justice for Kiplyn, Maria Shilaos goes in-depth on the story of Kiplyn. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas joins to share insights into Olsen's plea deal and how 'double jeopardy' will keep him from seeing any other prosecution. One of Kiplyn's friends joins Maria to share memories of Kiplyn and how not knowing what happened to her has affected the Davis family after all these years. Rhonda Dequier of the Missing in America Network also shares her thoughts on labelling missing teens as 'runaways' and how that can affect the investigation. More information on Kiplyn can be found at the Utah DPS website. If you know or remember anythng about Kiplyn's case, please call 833-DPS-SAFE (833-377-7233).

Today's conversation sits at the intersection of trauma, recovery, and compassion for the body.Many listeners of Choosing to Stay are navigating betrayal trauma, addiction recovery—either their own or their partner's—and ongoing nervous system overwhelm. In those seasons, nutrition can either feel like a powerful support… or like one more place we're falling short.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. David Wiss, a pioneering mental health nutritionist and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner who bridges nutritional science with psychiatric and addiction care. Dr. Wiss is the founder of Nutrition in Recovery and the Wise Mind Nutrition app, and his work focuses on root-cause healing at the intersection of trauma, substance use, and food-related struggles.What I appreciate most about Dr. Wiss's approach is his emphasis on compassion over control, and his understanding of behaviors—not as failures—but as adaptations shaped by stress, trauma, and survival.Together, we explore how nutrition can gently support healing from trauma and addiction without becoming another source of shame, pressure, or perfectionism.Connect with Dr. David Wiss: drdavidwiss.comInstagram: @drdavidwissFree Download: 5 Ways You Can Use Nutrition to Improve Your Mental HealthDr. David Wiss is a leading voice in integrative mental health and nutrition.

Resentment doesn't always look like anger. Sometimes it hides behind effort, silence, or “doing everything right.”In Part 2 of our Resentment series, Alana sits down with Luke Gordon to explore how powerlessness and entitlement quietly fuel resentment, especially in recovery after betrayal or compulsive sexual behavior.They unpack:Why resentment often goes unnoticed until it causes damageHow silent scorekeeping creates emotional distanceThe link between resentment, entitlement, and relapse riskWhy awareness alone isn't enough–and what actually leads to healingChapters02:23 Personal Experiences with Resentment05:32 Silent Scorekeeping07:57 Entitlement and Passive Aggressiveness10:47 Processing Resentment and Finding Power15:33 Practical Steps to Address Resentment22:09 The Journey of HealingRegister Now!

After betrayal, many couples believe they're struggling with communication—but what's really happening is much deeper. Betrayal doesn't just break trust; it rewires the nervous system, changing how safety is experienced inside the relationship. In this episode, we explore why conversations feel loaded after betrayal, why small behaviors can feel overwhelming, and how nervous system responses—like defensiveness, shutdown, or hypervigilance—keep couples stuck in painful cycles. You'll learn why this isn't about being “too sensitive” or “never enough,” but about how the body responds when relational safety has been compromised.Whether you are a betrayed partner, the one rebuilding trust, or a couple navigating healing together, this episode offers compassionate insight, practical nervous system tools, and a powerful reframe that helps interrupt the trauma loop—without blame or shame.Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

Healing after betrayal can feel confusing — especially when your partner is “doing everything right,” yet something still feels off.In this episode, Amie and Alana explore unspoken resentment in betrayal recovery: how resentment can exist without awareness, why it often gets denied, and how betrayed partners sense it before it's ever named.We discuss:Why resentment doesn't have to be felt to be acted outHow shame and “good guy” identity keep resentment hiddenWhy partners should trust their body instead of dismissing itThe difference between awareness and weaponizing emotionsThis is part 1 of a four-part series focused on understanding resentment without excusing harm — and without asking betrayed partners to carry what isn't theirs.Chapters01:55 Categories of Resentment05:46 Importance of Awareness08:02 Deeper Layers of Resentment10:58 Resentment as a Protector13:02 Managing Resentment in RelationshipsRegister Now!

“One of the most painful places couples get stuck after betrayal is right here: One partner is thinking, ‘We're okay. Why can't we move on?'

Many couples stay together after infidelity—but staying together isn't the same as healing.In this episode of Choosing to Stay After Infidelity and Betrayal, we explore the quiet, often unspoken space many couples live in after betrayal: life looks calmer on the outside, but underneath there's still tension, disconnection, or a sense of holding your breath.This conversation gently examines how avoidance can masquerade as peace, the difference between rugsweeping and real repair, and the signs that healing is actually happening—for both partners.This episode isn't about pushing you toward a decision or creating pressure to “do more.” It's about offering clarity without urgency, and honesty without self-abandonment.Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingJoin me at one of the Upcoming Betrayal Trauma Conferences: The Betrayal Healing Conference on January 26-30, 2026.

Can a relationship really heal after infidelity—or does staying just mean learning how to live with the pain?In this relaunch episode of Choosing To Stay After Infidelity & Betrayal, we're slowing things down and getting honest about what healing actually requires. Whether you're the betrayed partner wondering if you'll ever feel safe again, or the partner who broke trust and wants to repair but doesn't know how, this episode is an invitation to step out of fear-based decisions and into clarity.Healing after infidelity isn't about going back to how things were. That relationship no longer exists. What's possible—if both partners are willing—is building something new with more honesty, awareness, and intention than before.This episode sets the foundation for the year ahead: grounded, trauma-informed conversations about trust repair, emotional regulation, accountability, and discernment—without rushing forgiveness, minimizing pain, or offering false hope.Join me at one of the Upcoming Betrayal Trauma Conferences: The Betrayal Healing Conference on January 26-30, 2026.

Links Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Read the transcript of this podcast Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Scott Rasband wears two significant hats: he is both the owner of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Spanish Fork, Utah, and a YSA bishop. He describes the values instilled by the Cathy family, owners of the Chick-fil-A brand, and how these values shape the experience for both employees and customers. He emphasizes the importance of local ownership and how it fosters a sense of community and connection. Scott talks about "second mile service," a principle derived from Matthew 5:41, which encourages going above and beyond for others. He illustrates this concept with anecdotes from his restaurant—moments that create emotional connections and leave a lasting impression on customers. Scott shares insights into his role as a YSA bishop, where he applies similar leadership principles. He discusses the importance of being present, allowing young adults to lead, and connecting them to a higher purpose. Informal gatherings, like "Straggler Sundays" at his home, foster community and build trust among ward members. Scott's approach to leadership is characterized by vulnerability and accessibility, as he actively reaches out to members through texts and personal interactions. He highlights the significance of mentorship and the power of creating a culture where young adults feel valued and empowered. 00:02:14 - Chick-fil-A Culture and Leadership 00:04:03 - Scott's Background and Experience 00:05:10 - Positive Perspectives on Young Adults 00:06:24 - Connecting Youth to Jesus Christ 00:07:13 - Chick-fil-A's Unique Organizational Culture 00:09:25 - The Importance of Sunday Closure 00:11:22 - Mission to Be the World's Most Caring Company 00:12:22 - Translating Mission Statements into Action 00:13:41 - Servant Leadership in Action 00:14:56 - The Impact of Chick-fil-A's Values 00:16:05 - Local Ownership and Community Impact 00:17:02 - The Role of Personal Connection in Leadership 00:18:10 - Examples of Chick-fil-A's Customer Experience 00:20:10 - Core Four Principles for Employee Interaction 00:22:36 - The Origin of "My Pleasure" 00:23:09 - The Significance of Culture in Organizations 00:24:26 - Retention and Employee Satisfaction 00:25:38 - Patterns of Gathering in the YSA Ward 00:27:44 - Straggler Sunday Concept 00:28:59 - Informal Gatherings and Building Relationships 00:29:20 - Digital Relationships with Ward Members 00:30:48 - The Importance of Availability 00:32:06 - Mentoring and Leadership Development 00:33:11 - Involving Spouses in Ministry 00:34:05 - Creating a Culture of Vulnerability 00:35:09 - The Role of Surprise and Delight 00:36:11 - Letting Young Adults Lead 00:39:29 - Delegating Responsibility in Chick-fil-A 00:40:39 - Building Trust Through Delegation 00:41:26 - Adapting to Change in the YSA Ward 00:42:18 - Embracing New Traditions in Worship The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.
