Feeling stuck after infidelity doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. In this episode, I explain why feeling frozen, conflicted, or unable to move forward is actually a normal response to emotional trauma—and how your brain is trying to protect you, even when it's keeping you trapped.

I walk through three common scenarios I see again and again: staying when you're afraid to leave, being left and drowning in self-doubt, or choosing to stay but feeling unable to trust or feel peace. If any of these sound familiar, you're not broken. Your brain is wired to seek ease, avoid pain, and cling to what feels familiar—even when that familiarity hurts.

I also share how real change begins by reconnecting with your future self—the version of you who already knows what's possible. When you get clear on what you want and why you want it, you can start creating movement, even in small ways, and reclaim your power.

Key takeaways:

• Feeling stuck is a protective brain response, not a personal failure
• Avoiding pain often keeps us locked in familiar suffering
• Clarity about what you want is the way out of stagnation

If you're ready to stop feeling trapped and start moving forward, reach out. You don't have to do this alone. I invite you to schedule a call with me so we can talk about you joining my January group. https://calendly.com/andreagilescoaching/get-your-life-back?month=2025-12

In this episode, I talk about the patterns so many of us find ourselves repeating after infidelity — the emotional loops, the unspoken agreements, and the old roles we unconsciously keep stepping back into. I explore why these patterns return even when we believe we've healed them, and I share how breaking these loops requires something deeper than waiting for someone else to change. It requires choosing differently for ourselves.

I walk you through how relational contracts form, how they expire, and why trying to rebuild inside an outdated contract keeps you stuck in pain. I share what it means to create a new contract — one based on truth, self-responsibility, and clarity — whether with the same partner or within a new chapter of your life entirely.

My intention is to help you see your patterns with honesty and compassion so you can step into a more empowered way of relating to yourself and others.

Takeaways:

• Old relational contracts can expire long before the relationship ends.
• Loops break when I stop abandoning myself.
• A new relationship contract requires truth, clarity, and personal power.
• Growth begins the moment I choose differently.

If this resonates and you're ready to break your own patterns, I invite you to schedule a call with me so we can talk about you joining my January group. https://calendly.com/andreagilescoaching/get-your-life-back?month=2025-12

In this very first episode of my podcast, I share my personal story and the experiences that shaped the work I do today. When this show originally launched, I opened with my journey because I wanted listeners to understand not only what I teach, but why I teach it.

Today, I'm presenting this episode again as an encore because so many new listeners have joined us, and this story continues to be the foundation for everything we talk about on the podcast. My hope is that hearing where I came from will help you feel more grounded, more supported, and less alone in your own healing.

In this encore replay, I walk through the early years of my marriage, the painful moments that led to my awakening, and the decision to rebuild my life from the inside out. I also share the fears, doubts, and turning points that taught me how to trust myself again and ultimately led me to coaching.

Takeaways:

• Why my personal story is the foundation of this podcast
• How fear and indecision kept me stuck for years
• What finally empowered me to rebuild my life
• Why I'm sharing this as an encore for new listeners

If this episode resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. I'd love to help you get your clarity and your life back. https://andreagiles.com/

In this episode, I'm diving into a topic that sits quietly underneath so many of the patterns that show up after infidelity: codependency. This isn't about weakness or being "too much." It's about the survival strategies many of us learned long before betrayal ever entered our lives. For me, this past year has been one of shedding—shedding identities, patterns, and ways of disappearing inside relationships. I'm inviting you into that same gentle, honest exploration so you can begin reclaiming your own energy, boundaries, and clarity.

I share the real signs of codependency, why it intensifies after infidelity, and how to begin unhooking from patterns that pull you away from yourself. You'll learn how to shift from survival mode into a grounded, independent place where your choices come from truth, not fear.

Takeaways:

• How codependent patterns form (and why they're not your fault)
• Seven signs you're losing yourself in the relationship
• How to begin reclaiming your energy and boundaries
• Why independence is a necessary step before rebuilding trust

If something in this episode stirs something in you, that is not a problem. It means you're waking up. If you're ready to untangle these patterns and rebuild trust in yourself, I'm here to support you. Reach out — I'd love to help you get your clarity and your life back. https://andreagiles.com/

In this episode, I dive deeper into a topic that has the power to change the way we move through our lives: our energetic yes and our energetic no. After betrayal or years of people-pleasing, it's common to lose touch with the truth your body is trying to communicate. Today, I explore how to recognize the physical signatures of alignment — the openness of a yes, the contraction of a no — long before the logical mind tries to negotiate, justify, or override them.

I share examples from my own life, moments when choosing alignment meant disappointing others, and why honoring my energetic truth has become a key part of rebuilding self-trust. I also offer practical guidance for how to pause, listen, and make decisions in real time, even when fear or doubt follow closely behind.

If you're trying to navigate life after infidelity or simply want to reconnect with your inner guidance, this episode will help you listen more closely and lead yourself with integrity.

Takeaways:

• How your body signals yes and no in real time
• Why your first sensation is more honest than your thoughts
• How honoring your truth rebuilds self-trust
• Practical steps for tuning into your energetic signals

In this episode, I'm diving into a topic I've been learning on a much deeper level: energetic boundaries. After betrayal, it's common to feel like your energy is everywhere except inside your own body. You might find yourself over-functioning, scanning for danger, tracking moods, or trying to manage other people's emotional states. Even when someone is doing everything "right" on paper, your energy may still feel drained or scattered.

In this conversation, I break down what energetic boundaries actually are, why they matter, and how to recognize the signs that yours have become thin or compromised. I share examples from my own life and from the healing work I do with clients, especially around emotional fusion, hyper-attunement, and the feeling of losing your clarity or intuition.

I also walk you through simple but powerful practices to call your energy back, create more groundedness, and reconnect with your own truth so you can make decisions from a place of strength rather than depletion.

Takeaways:

• What energetic boundaries are and why they matter
• Signs your energy is being pulled outward
• How to ground yourself and restore your own energetic field
• Why reclaiming your energy strengthens clarity and intimacy

There are moments when the pain feels too deep to describe — when every step forward feels impossible and healing seems out of reach. In this episode, I'm speaking directly to those of you who are there right now, carrying heartbreak that feels unbearable.

I'll walk with you through the truth about pain — how it's not a sign that you're broken, but a sacred invitation to healing. You'll learn why pain isn't an interruption to your growth, but the very doorway to it. Together, we'll explore how to stop circling your wounds and instead tend to them with compassion, so that the pain can finally release what's ready to be freed.

If you're tired, scared, or wondering if you'll ever feel peace again, this episode is for you. Take a breath, lean in, and remember — you don't have to do this alone. Healing begins when you stop abandoning yourself and let others walk beside you.

Takeaways:

• Pain is not proof of brokenness — it's a signal to heal.
• Avoiding pain prolongs suffering; facing it opens peace.
• Healing requires compassion, patience, and presence.
• You don't have to heal alone — support is available.

Emotional affairs can be one of the most confusing and painful experiences in a relationship. In this episode, I'm breaking down what they really are — and what they're actually about. So many people believe emotional affairs are about the "other person," but I'll show you why they're often rooted in something deeper: unmet emotional hunger, self-abandonment, and the longing to feel fully alive again.

You'll learn why these relationships can feel electric, why secrecy distorts truth, and how both partners can begin to heal — not by policing behavior, but by learning to be honest without self-abandonment. Whether you've been betrayed or have strayed yourself, this conversation will help you understand what your deeper needs are and how to meet them with integrity.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional affairs are about unmet needs, not just betrayal.
• The healing path begins with radical self-honesty.
• Integrity isn't the absence of desire — it's staying present with it.
• Growth means learning to choose yourself without self-rejection.
