I have had coaching to get us past the worst. I am just trying to keep positive about my and my husband decisions to stay in the marriage.

Thank you for all of your wisdom and support! I look forward to your weekly podcasts. They are so helpful and have been a huge part of my healing journey

I have been listening to this podcast since the day my husband told me about his infidelity in July. I immediately felt that Andrea “got it.” The first episode I listened to was “Who to Tell” because I was completely alone and lost in the woods, and this title grabbed me. I’m 65, married 30 years, and I just didn’t know what to do or who to talk to. That episode helped me so much, so I kept listening. I’m an avid hiker, so I liken this to heading out on unfamiliar and potentially dangerous trails alone — it’s never a good idea. You want a seasoned guide and/or a friend to travel the path with you. Andrea has been that guide and friend for me these past 8 months. She points out the highlights and lowlights on the journey, the possible pitfalls, and the beautiful vistas along the way. Thanks to Andrea, my “Healing from Infidelity” backpack is full of the tools and equipment I need to navigate my way along the trail. What I love is that she neither advocates for or against leaving the marriage, but for improving and finding MYSELF so that I can make the best decision possible. Additionally, she helps me to do some soul-searching to see what MY role was, as well as his, that led us to this point - but without self blame. Andrea’s guidance is allowing me to figure out what the next steps on this trail will be, and to have the confidence to take those steps — even if I can’t see over that next hill.

Brilliant podcast with so many great insights. Not only do you feel more hopeful after listening, but you also have some practical next steps you can apply.

This podcast has been very helpful and helping me with my healing process and understanding that there is good day and bad a day. You also provided tool and examples that make it feel very human and relatable.

A great podcast with actual tools on how to move through and past betrayal

I’m so grateful for Andrea and her wisdom and guidance around infidelity and personal growth. As a betrayed wife, I’ve read so many books, podcasts, individual therapy and marriage intensive retreat. None of these hold a candle to what I’ve gained from Andrea’s podcast. She presents strategies for healing that are easy to understand and her compassionate and optimistic attitude have helped me tackle the tough-stuff. I’m so thankful to have found this valuable resource and praise Andrea for her genuine care and love that she invests in her work!

I have been in and out of therapy since 1978, when I learned of my husband's first betrayal. Trust me, we have done it all. What I didn’t realize, and was not taught, is that I must know my bottom line, I must take my power, I must be clear about what I want and what I do not want. We have managed to stay together for 50 years. Each type of therapy helped enough to keep us together, but not enough to keep me safe and secure. I’m finally grabbing what I am entitled to in my marriage with both hands and claiming it. He is also listening to Andrea and learning a ton. The key thing Andrea has, that none of my therapists possessed, is sharing the same experience. She really understands the levels of complexity that surround marrying a man with neglect, abandonment and shame issues. And she is so concrete about her recommendations. Even if you are not dealing with betrayal, try this podcast, it is for everyone. It is about growing up.

Both working with Andrea and listening to her podcast has given me hope for what I thought was an impossible situation. I didn’t have the capacity or the voice to advocate or change my path and I felt helpless. If you have no idea what to do and feel lost, Andrea can help you make sense of a senseless situation and know what steps to take next. Honestly, I don’t know where I would be and what I would be doing without her. Andrea speaks from experience, understands exactly what we are going through, and is such a compassionate listener as well as wise counsel. Her relationship knowledge and advice is able to be immediately applied. I am so grateful for her.

Thank you Andrea! You are a true expert on all things healing and moving forward, trust, decision making. Plus you are so relatable. I love all the little nuggets and practical tools I get in each episode.

Andrea is helping with a very painful situation. Most women are too ashamed to ask for help with this topic, but Andrea is here to help you and you can do it from the privacy of your home!!

This podcast takes a tough experience and makes it much easier to carry forward and heal. Just a little time to listen is so impactful.

Andrea shares insightful information to help you move past the pain. She is understanding and wise.

Great ideas to support yourself or those who are struggling with betrayal. Highly recommended.

Andrea offers tips and strategies for healing from infidelity. Looks for plenty of tips to manage this. ~Joy, Healthier Habits mama

Andrea does a great job sharing her experience to help women overcome the after effects of infidelity! Great show.

Practical, helpful, inspiring!

Thank you for sharing such helpful tips and expertise. This is exactly what I need in my life to heal!

What a great show for learning through infidelity and working through all the nuances and challenges.

I recently discovered this podcast and I turn it on whenever I am having a spiral. She created a calm and rational space to look at things objectively and it always makes me feel better about my situation. Listening to Andrea will help you feel in control again. Highly recommend.

Practical information. You can listen and implement what you’ve learned right away. Has been so helpful on my journey to healing. Andrea hits it dead on with every topic. I was a little lost before finding this podcast. Now I have direction and hope.

After months of constant thoughts and feelings spiral over my husband’s emotional affair, a friend pointed me to Andrea’s podcast. Andrea’s approach and message were just what I needed at one of the most challenging times in my life. For the first time since discovery, I felt like someone understood what I was going through and offered a voice of hope to help me begin processing and move myself in a direction to get my life back.

Andrea gets it. She shares her wisdom and experience and is able to impart insight and understanding in every episode. professionally and also like she’s speaking personally to the individual listener. I always come away with something to think about and I look forward to each new episode.

I loved this episode along with many of her other episodes. I’ve finally decided to separate from my husband and felt this episode was just what I needed at the right time.

Really good and helpful for processing.

It’s taken me a bit to write this because I wanted to make sure and do Andrea justice. And then, I ultimately realized that no words can ever fully encapsulate my gratitude for her. Her wisdom and guidance were instrumental in supporting me through hands down THE most challenging time of my life. I was blindsided when finding out about my husband’s sex addiction, and I truly felt that the ground beneath me just fell away. We have two children still at home and had spent almost 20 years together. Most of it a beautiful, loving partnership. I was a shell of a woman for at least a few months after initial D-Day. But I know that I would have stayed that broken for so much longer without Andrea’s help. It’s now almost 1 year after final D-Day, and I know without a doubt that I would not be nearly as far along in my healing process without the teachings of these podcasts and Andrea’s group coaching program. Infidelity is such a taboo topic, and I needed clear, unbiased advice, especially from someone who has been through it herself. I still refer to her podcast on a regular basis, often multiple times for my favorite ones. But seriously, the group coaching was a GAME CHANGER for me. Some women in my group had been struggling for 5+ years before joining her program, trying to navigate this alone or without the support of a legit expert in this field. And ultimately you just can’t navigate something as traumatizing and confusing as this alone. I also truly appreciate that she doesn’t try to sway people one way or another about whether they ‘should’ stay or go. Andrea gives you the building blocks to learn to trust YOURSELF again so that you feel empowered to make the decisions that are for your highest good. And how to truly recognize if this is indeed a safe person to give it a shot again with. The tools and growth that I have cultivated within myself are priceless…I will have them at my disposal for the rest of my life. No matter who I end up with. And I have Andrea to thank for that. She is a true gem in this world. A powerful yet compassionate angel walking around in a human suit. Consider yourself extremely lucky for coming across this podcast…and HER! If you can find a way to do her program, don’t even hesitate. I borrowed money from a friend to make it happen. And I am so soooo grateful that I did. Life changing stuff.

I was a bit skeptical that Andrea's podcast would be helpful to me since it is supposed to be geared to a woman's perspective. After listening to a couple episodes, though, I was quickly proven wrong. I am almost 2 months removed from confirming and confronting my wife's affair that was going on for at least 6 months. In the time after, I was lost and an emotional wreck for what seemed like every waking minute of every day. Therapy has helped some. But I still found myself scouring infidelity groups on social media for hours, which was just furthering a lot of my toxic thinking. This week I found this podcast. For the first time since, I have really started to feel a good positive change in myself. I am frequently nodding along to experiences she and her guests share. It's really helping me to find some inner peace after riding unending waves of strong emotions. I've learned how to accept things I cannot change about my soon to be ex and our marriage. Andrea's advice and coaching is helping pave the way for me to focus my emotions, thoughts, and actions in ways that will serve me best going forward. It's also been invaluable in beginning to start dispensing the intrusive thoughts I have not previously been able to shake. There really is an episode for almost every conceivable angle of this. Thank you Andrea for helping in the restoration of me. I am so grateful for the work you're doing!

It has not even been 2 weeks since I confronted my husband about his 3 month long affair. Day 1, my life had been blown to bits. My emotions and mind were uncharacteristically explosive one second then ultra sad and painful the next. The thought of a therapist came to mind but that took research and I needed something immediately. Almost like an ER doctor. I needed urgent care. I couldn’t talk to just anyone or family members about it because it would’ve caused more destruction and more confusion. Day 2 I said to myself, “There’s got to be a podcast or an audio book about this”. I had never subscribed to a podcast. I barely listen to them. I don’t know exactly how it happened but I typed in my search and the first podcast that showed up for me was Andrea’s. I am sooooo sooo grateful for every episode she has made. I didn’t start in chronological order. I found titles based on what I was feeling and on topics I needed help with at the moment. Every day, maybe twice a day, I’d find an episode and I’d find time for myself and listen and breathe. EVERY episode helped me find myself again. Helped speak reason into my soul and life. Helped me feel safe. HELPED. I am forever grateful for you, Andrea. My words can’t eloquently express how much you have helped me. Thank you so much. There’s a long journey still ahead but I am hopeful which is a great start. Thank you from my healing heart.

Thank you Andrea for you podcast. You’re correct that there are guys out here that listen, and find help, in your podcast. I can speak for all of us hurt dudes in saying we’d love more ‘casts pointed in our direction. Keep up the great work!!! Darren H

I listen to a lot of podcasts but this is the only one that I’ve listened to every episode! Being a part of the “infidelity club” isn’t anywhere I ever wanted or thought I’d be. This podcast (along with therapy) helped me get my head in a good space to make important decisions and keep my sense of self. I have recommended this podcast to so many women who are or have gone through any kind of infidelity. Thank you so much for sharing your gift Andrea!

Andrea does a great job recognizing the heartache of infidelity while leading you to growth that can result.

After going through 2 episodes of infidelity, this podcast has been so helpful to me. The last infidelity encounter felt like it literally crushed my soul. I didn't know what to do or where to go. We started couples counseling, but never got to the root of the issue. I'm so thankful I found this podcast. I started at the first episode and listened daily. Andrea's voice became so comforting to me. It was a like a little bit of salve on my burning wound that cooled it a little more each day, and helped me to slowly heal. I also feel like there are so many aspects of this podcasts that could be beneficial for anyone just working to focus on their self worth, and how to process the hardships of life. It has been a year. I ended up staying, but still listen to each new episode.

I am thankful for this podcast. I happen to come across after hearing and enduring my husband‘s infidelity less than a year ago. We are healing immensely, but this helps me heal from the inside out for myself. Something I most desperately needed, and continue to listen to all the podcast to grow for my self, and the next together for our marriage.

On NYE 2022, my world came crashing down as I uncovered my husband’s infidelity that he hid for a year. The first two months post D-Day was a blur, a nightmare. I was broken and I don’t even know how I got up in the morning. I felt so alone. The first therapist I went to told me I being a “drama queen” for asking the same questions of my husband over and over. The second therapist told me that “marriage is hard, being single is hard, so choose your hard”. I found Andrea during a time when I had no vision of my future, no path to healing, and no hope of getting on the other side of this chaos that had become of my life. After listening to her podcasts and joining her program, I see that the worst thing that ever happened to me has been the best thing. I now feel empowered that I have the ability and resilience to live with or without him. I used to feel this pit in my stomach when I passed by places I knew my husband and the AP went, but Andrea has shown me that his actions/infidelity is not going to make my world smaller and I have the power to not assign meanings to anything that doesn’t serve me. Andrea has provided words of wisdom, advice, and comfort during the darkest days of my life - and she can help you navigate through this too. You will become a part of a loving community of women who are your biggest cheerleaders and friends. This has been a safety net that has literally saved me. I don’t know the outcome of my marriage but I do know this - that I will have peace and joy in my life regardless. Much love and compassion to you and wishing you the best in your healing journey.

I have been struggling with my husbands infidelity for over 2 years. He still refuses to admit the truth even though I have concrete proof. Every day I struggle with intrusive thoughts, self doubt and overall unsureness. I can no longer tell what is real and what is not, my whole existence and identity is lost. This is the first podcast that I’ve listened to that made me feel like there may be hope after all.

This podcast is like having your smart, no -nonsense, but compassionate BFF give you advice. In the dark days of discovery, it’s a lifeline to other stories like yours, empowering you to move forward and knowing you’re not alone - in fact- with this new knowledge about what has been going on in your life, you are able to regain control over it.

I am new to the Podcast world, but so happy that I have found Andrea Giles. Whenever I reach an impasse or obstacle, I surely can find an episode that will calm me and reassure me that I am not crazy.

I found this podcast shortly after I discovered my husband had affairs with 3 different women. I was lost, confused, broken and I couldn’t tell you right from left. My whole world was pulled from beneath me. Listening to Andrea helped me understand that I’m not alone, that I am worthy to be loved correctly and most importantly that I will be okay. On my weakest days, I would turn on this podcast and really listen to the words she was saying. My healing journey wouldn’t be at the point it is today if I had not found this podcast. Thank you, Andrea, for everything.

Andrea is very knowledgeable and easy to listen to and understand. She “gets it” and her perspectives and advice have been beyond helpful for me. I don’t know where I’d be if I hadn’t discovered her podcasts. Thank you, Andrea!!

I look forward to listening to Andrea each time a new episode comes out. She has lived what she is talking about and it helps me feel like she understands the realities of both the good and bad. I like that she helps us take a look from all angles and see that with deeper reflection, there may be more choices than what seems like the obvious one at first glance. I appreciate you so much Andrea!

The day my husband revealed he was having an affair with our neighbor/family friend led me to Andrea’s podcast. Andrea’s podcast led me to discover that the relationship with myself needed a lot of attention and rebuilding. D-Day for me has multiple meanings…..discovery of my husband’s poor choices, my friend’s poor choices but more importantly discovery of my true self and how to live a fulfilling life that I want. I was fortunate enough to expand my discovery journey by joining Andrea’s Know in 90 Group. I remember I was hesitant to join b/c of the cost. I never engaged in any self-help….didn’t read books or listen to podcasts on mental health and never participated in therapy. Andrea said “there is no greater investment than the one you make in yourself “. Truer words have never been spoken! The return I received on investing in myself benefits me every day and will for the rest of my life! Through that group, I had the privilege of meeting strong and powerful women who lifted me up in my darkest moments of self-doubt and trusted me to do the same for them. I still keep in touch with most of the women from my group and we now have friendships that discuss other things beside infidelity! Yes…there is so much more to life after infidelity, it’s true!!! Andrea’s work, this podcast, the way she relates to you with her own challenges and her ability to look at her surroundings and make note of those we choose to surround ourselves with will change your life. This podcast and Andrea Giles are gifts I wasn’t expecting. Searching the word “infidelity” in my podcast app was never anything I thought I’d do and it certainly wasn’t something I thought I’d feel eternally grateful for but I am. This podcast and Andrea Giles empowered me to go after what I want for the rest of my life. It caused me to face things about me that needed adjustment and to celebrate the things about myself that I love and that serve so much good in the lives of those that I love. 14 months after d-day I am mentally healthier, I am going after what I want and not doubting that I deserve every bit of it and I’m continuing to strengthen the relationships that mean the most to me in my life, including the one with my husband. We are giving Marriage 2.0 a try and it is a lot of work and an active choice we both make every single day. Thanks to Andrea and this podcast, I trust myself to make that choice and no one can take that trust in myself away from me. Thank you, Andrea, for sharing your work with me and empowering me to use infidelity as a catalyst for much needed change in my life.

Andrea is a very caring person who has been in the trenches. This podcast is excellent for anyone struggling with infidelity in their marriage, and are trying to decide whether to stay or leave.

Amazing!

Lots of practical tools and thought provoking questions to help you work through difficult situations. Real life content that both the betrayer and the betrayed can benefit from to move forward.

This podcast has truly changed my life and my mindset. When my world was turned upside down, this podcast help guide me into my new life. Andrea you are such a blessing for giving this gift for free, thank you so much for your lessons, words, and advice.

This podcast has been an incredible gift and very helpful for my healing journey with infidelity with my relationship. Andrea does an amazing job explaining things and helping you work through your emotions! It’s very helpful for every day life as a human not just going through infidelity! I am so grateful I found this podcast and I am sure whoever else listens will be blessed with her wealth of knowledge and compassion!

14 months after discovering infidelity, I still come back to Andrea’s podcast. In my hardest moments, I turn to them because I know how I feel after I listen. I don’t feel alone or hopeless. She is somehow emotionally invested, but remains totally neutral. I feel heard without having to speak. I’m so grateful for her and her knowledge, but mostly her heart.

I found this podcast at a time when I had regressed in my progress and healing and was starting to feel hopeless and so, so angry to the point that my negativity was affecting my kids, and I was seeing it manifest in them. Hearing her insight is helping guide me back to the path I had strayed away from for too long, and although I have a long way to go, I’m breathing cleaner air and feel much less weighed down. I often feel like she is speaking directly to me. Andrea is amazing.

Andrea understands. She provides practical wisdom, sisterly support, and inspiring coaching. This resource is a lifeline.

This podcast is awesome. I felt so isolated and stuck after discovering my husband was having an affair. I didn’t know anyone personally that had been in this situation and was struggling to think through what I wanted to do. Andrea asks thought provoking questions for you to consider and actionable ways to think through determining what you really want and how to heal after the bombshell that is infidelity. I find it to be a really helpful resource in addition to couples therapy. I am so thankful for this resource!
