Real Talk: My Boyfriend and I Rebuild After Infidelity
About a year and a half ago, Lucas shared with me that he had broken the agreements we set during our time apart—a period we had intentionally created to find balance and gain clarity about the future of our relationship.
This episode is an honest reflection on where we are now (recorded on May 3rd, 2025). We’ve anticipated sharing this conversation for a long time. We even tried recording it last September, but at the time, the topic was still too raw—filled with emotional triggers and uncertainty.
One of the reasons we recorded this is to unpack the layers of shame that surfaced throughout the process—shame that felt like a Pandora’s box once opened. Another reason is to mark our growth, forgiveness, and the healing that’s taken root since.
This episode isn’t a step-by-step guide to healing after infidelity. If you or someone you know is navigating something similar, I strongly encourage you to build a supportive network—friends, family, therapy, and other resources—to help hold you through the journey toward sustainable healing and growth.

Decolonizing Shame: The Paradox of Healing Intergenerational Trauma
In this episode, Danielle Herrera, LMFT, shares her personal and professional journey of decolonizing mental health. We are initiated into the intergenerational wisdom and trauma of our ancestors. Healing multiple generations of trauma is the duality of returning what's not ours, and allowing ourselves to be held in the relational and collective space of of something bigger - divinity, nature, and ancestry. Danielle speaks about an Arabic phrase from Islam, أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّٰهَ (Astaghfirullah) which signifies "seeking forgiveness from god;" A process of releasing and returning trauma to a higher power, which we may experience through the "initiation" of our ancestral trauma.

"When You Have Sex and Experience God" - A Journey toward Sacred Sexuality
In this episode Dr. John Elfers shares his story of religious devotion and the difficulty he experienced in reconciling sexuality with spirituality. If sex is one of the most powerful connections we can make with the divine, why is it so common that our spirituality and religion leaves us feeling shameful, sinful, and impure? Dr. Elfers talks about his experience as a sex educator highlighting some of the challenges and misalignments we experience in adulthood which prevent the passing on of healthy beliefs and attitudes about sex to children.
