Real Connections Podcast

I recently had the privilege of being interviewed on the Real Connections Podcast by Cami Moss. She has started a wonderful project. She interviews women who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have been through difficult experiences and are willing to be open about it. She is addressing all of the "tough issues." Cami was an amazing host. ❤️ I am completely in love with what she is doing! Go check out her other episodes as well. Cami is shedding light on so many tough topics. Silence keeps issues unresolvable. ❤️

I also want to acknowledge Mark. He is absolutely selfless in his support of my efforts with helping others find hope after betrayal trauma. I can’t talk about betrayal trauma without acknowledging pornography and sex addiction. It’s tricky, but a choice he has made because he knows the good that comes from it. He is such a courageous man and I am grateful every day that he has chosen sobriety and recovery, our marriage, and our family! 💕 Cami said the following about this episode:

I can’t wait to share this incredible interview with Katy! ✨
Today’s interview regarding pornography is unfortunately not uncommon in our culture. That being said, I know that through listening to part 1 and 2 of Katy’s story that you’ll see both the devastating effects of pornography on families and individuals but also the HOPE and HEALING that are possible as well - for everyone involved.
✨
In today’s interview, Katy shares how she found out about her now husband’s pornography addiction he had prior to meeting her. She decided to move forward with her marriage and for the first several years it was great! Then life happened, and the stressors in their lives began to mount. Katy started to see very concerning things about Mark, but never connected it to addiction. One day she found out in an unexpected way that it was, in fact, his addiction coming back in full force.
✨
She talks about her struggle to feel as if she was enough as she thought his addiction was her fault. Katy shares her continuing journey to healing and knowing that she is enough - as a wife, a mom, and a human. ✨
It’s a very deep and emotional interview and one you don’t want to miss! Click HERE to listen to part 1.

Here is part two of our interview. I appreciated her thoughtful questions, and that this episode could include the ways that our marriage and entire family dynamic have been affected in the aftermath and healing process. ❤️ Cami says the following about this episode:

On today’s episode we have Katy back from last week to share with us part 2 of her story. Today she will be talking about the difficulties of choosing to stay married to her husband, Mark, instead of going through with the divorce. She also shares why she stayed instead of walking away. ✨
Katy talks about how each of her children have handled the situation differently and what their processes have been like.
✨
I’m so excited for you to hear Katy talk about her “Project Lemonade” 🍋where she is giving purpose to her pain and inviting others who have also experienced betray trauma to join her.
✨
Katy gives advice to those who may find themselves in a similar situation of a spouse being addicted to pornography. ✨
It’s a powerful ending to her story she shared last week!
