Episode 8: Can You Heal Through an Affair? A Raw Talk on Desire, Secrecy & Self-Reclamation

This one’s tender, taboo, and deeply human.

In today’s conversation, Jo shares her personal experience of engaging in an emotional affair during the slow breakdown of her marriage - and how it unexpectedly became a gateway to healing, desire, and self-remembrance.

Together, Sarah and Jo explore the messy, honest truths about intimacy, secrecy, and the power of feeling deeply desired - especially when you've spent years disconnected from your own needs and pleasure.

We dive into:

• Can an affair ever be healing?

• The difference between emotional and physical affairs

• How secrecy divides us and drains energy

• Shame, morality, and the internal tug-of-war many women experience

• Reclaiming your sensual self after years of neglect

• What it really means to feel worshipped vs just wanted

• The importance of safe, judgment-free spaces to process your truth

This is a vulnerable, layered conversation about the hidden parts of ourselves - the ones we often keep in the dark because of fear, conditioning, or shame. But when we shine a light there, healing becomes possible.

Because your mess doesn’t make you broken - it makes you real.
