And even to my marriage! So are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? What do you need to do next? Listen as I share my 6 tips for both your personal and marriage growth!

It's that time of year! Roses, hearts, love, teddy bears and chocolate, and- emotional overload . During the affair, holidays were always a disconnecting experience.

It's time we commit to living in truth, communicating our desires, and working on ourselves. Remember to come tell me what you're changing this week! And always re...

I want to share a sneak peak into a counseling session I had during that season and share a few reflection questions I learned then. Join me on the daily journey of shedding you...

Want a coach who gets it in your back pocket? Email me at kristina@kristinajoycoaching.com and let's see how I can best support you! One of the first questions in my healing journey was around my identity: who am I now? And more importantly, who does God say I am? So often we look at what we DO for a job or what we accomplish.

Let's be honest, healing is sort of like an onion. Just when you think it's going to be smooth sailing, then it's time to peel back another layer.

Can you relate? You sit down to read the Bible and it's silent. You don't know where to start. You aren't sure you believe it anyway. So much of it is confusing, and it probably doesn't even apply to you today! Even though I was raised in the Christian world, the Bible felt dry for most of my life. It wasn't until my affair confession that I finally got serious about God's Word and what it meant for me. Can I share some of my favorite tips with you today? Let's dig into God's Love Letters togeth...

One thing I learned from my coach early on in my journey was that being decisive helps expedite your healing process. Make the decision, choose your choice, and start walking. The worst thing you can do is sit in indecision and wait and sit on the fence while time passes. So let's talk today about what decisions you need to make, AND what else is impacted by your choices.

Friend, I'm going to spare you the long introduction today. I did something I never dreamed I was capable of. And then I finally hit my rock bottom. BUT GOD.

So please be blessed by my story. Be encouraged, you are not alone. Be strengthened, that you need to make things right with such urgency as a life or death situatio...

Sister, Do you ever read the Bible and think, "Yes! That's so me!" Or the opposite, "There is NO way I could do that!" You may fall in one of those two camps today as we look at Psalm 105:1.

Either way, this verse has 3 commands that apply to all of us. And I'd love to hear your takeaway, too ! I pray you experience the love of Christ today! xoxo, Kristi...

Friend, Did you remember there's a war going on all around us? Satan is out for your family, your attention, and any part of your life he can get. But the good news is- you are not alone ! Habakkuk wrote a book in the Bible about his conversation with God when his country was at war. And God told him it was about to go from bad to worse! But isn't our God good- He wove hope into the entire conversation along with reminders of truth about who He was and is . So if your situation feels so bleak an...
