Stories from the Other Side: Healing After Betrayal and Divorce Recovery with Kristin

Stories from the Other Side: Healing After Betrayal and Divorce Recovery with Kristin

Healing after betrayal and navigating divorce recovery isn’t just about leaving a marriage — it’s about rebuilding yourself from the inside out, learning to co-parent with grace, and discovering that you’re stronger than you ever imagined.

In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I sit down with Kristin, host of Let’s Grow Through It, to talk about her raw and powerful journey through infidelity, divorce, and ultimately, self-love. From the devastating discovery of her husband’s affair, to finding her footing as a single mom, to embracing forgiveness (yes — even with “the other woman”), Kristin shares what it really looks like to turn heartbreak into healing.

Together, we unpack the messy reality of divorce, the importance of doing the inner work, and how creating her “divorce bucket list” became the first step toward transformation.

Whether you’re in the thick of betrayal, navigating custody and co-parenting, or trying to rediscover who you are beyond your marriage, this conversation is filled with hope, hard truths, and a reminder that your comeback story is waiting to be written.
