This episode is one of the early conversations that shaped the heart of this podcast, and we’re bringing it back because its message is just as important today as it was when it first aired. If you’re in the aftermath of betrayal or rebuilding a relationship after broken trust, this episode lays the groundwork for understanding what true repair requires.
In this re-released conversation, we explore what a renewed commitment looks like from the unfaithful partner — not in words or promises, but in consistent action. Healing after betrayal begins when the betraying partner is willing to “do whatever it takes” to rebuild safety, honor the betrayed partner’s pain, and repair the relational bonds shattered by the breach.

This special re-release revisits one of the most important conversations from our early episodes — an episode so foundational that we felt it needed to be heard again. If you or your spouse are in the early stages of betrayal trauma, discovery, or relational crisis, this conversation will give you the grounding, clarity, and practical steps you need to begin healing.
In this re-released episode, we walk through what we call Trauma Triage — the immediate phase after betrayal when emotions are raw, the nervous system is overwhelmed, trust is shattered, and both partners are often flooded with fear, shame, confusion, and grief. This is the stage where calm, grounding support is crucial, but it’s also the time when couples feel least equipped to offer it.

This special episode of Choosing to Stay marks a heartfelt transition and an important moment for our community. Hali and Stephanie sit down for one final conversation as co-hosts to reflect on what this podcast has become, how it has supported so many navigating betrayal trauma and relational healing, and what the future now holds.
In this episode, Stephanie gently announces that she is stepping away from hosting as she moves into a new season of life and work. This change flows from clarity, alignment, and care. The friendship is strong, the mission remains, and there is no rupture — only a shift. Stephanie expresses continued belief in the podcast’s purpose and offers her blessing as Hali continues forward.
Together, they revisit the early days of the podcast — how it began without a detailed roadmap, how meaningful and vulnerable conversations naturally emerged, and how listeners’ stories have shaped the heart of the show. Hali expresses deep gratitude for the wisdom, grounding, and compassion Stephanie has brought to every episode. Stephanie shares her favorite moments, lessons learned, and the profound impact of hearing how women and couples have grown along their healing journeys.
Hali then shares what’s ahead: the podcast is continuing. The mission stays the same. New guests, expanded conversations, and a refreshed energy will unfold in the new year.
This episode is a celebration of what has been built, an honoring of Stephanie’s contribution, and an invitation into a new season of growth.
If you are a woman experiencing betrayal trauma, you can find Hali on her new podcast Rooted and Rising Healing After Betrayal.

Stopping destructive behaviors is only the beginning. In recovery after betrayal, many partners achieve behavioral sobriety but struggle with emotional sobriety—the ability to regulate, integrate, and share emotions in real time. In this episode, we’ll break down the psychology of emotional sobriety, how compartmentalization keeps couples stuck, and what moving toward integration looks like for both the betrayed partner and the one seeking recovery.Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode, we share a core truth of couples' recovery: healing starts with honoring yourself — and that personal work naturally becomes a gift to your partner, your children, and future generations. Healing isn’t about fixing each other; it’s about becoming grounded, regulated, and emotionally responsible.We talk about how individual healing lowers reactivity, strengthens emotional tolerance, and creates stability at home. Children benefit when parents model accountability, honesty, repair, and regulation — even without knowing the details.We also explore how relationships shift when each partner focuses on their own growth instead of waiting for the other to change. Listeners will hear simple ways to practice daily healing and begin creating a legacy of emotional safety, honesty, and courage.

In this episode, Hali welcomes her daughter, Morgan Ellsworth, BCC, MFT-I to talk about how to help children feel secure, loved, and grounded during the holidays when the family system is healing from betrayal. Kids pick up on tension, silence, and emotional shifts more than words - but they don’t need perfection, they need presence. This conversation explores how to offer age-appropriate honesty, create simple rituals of connection, and bring stability into a season that might feel uncertain or different this year.

In this honest and compassionate episode, Hali and Stephanie speak directly to those who have betrayed trust and are navigating the deep discomfort of the holiday season.
When you’re the one who caused harm, it’s natural to want to “fix” things — to bring joy back, to create happy moments, to prove your love and remorse. But often, that well-intentioned positivity can feel like bypass to your partner — like you’re skipping past their pain to ease your own guilt.
This conversation helps you understand what empathy looks like in action — how to stay grounded, offer comfort without pressure, and walk through the season with humility, patience, and presence.
You’ll learn how to avoid common pitfalls like overcompensating, defensiveness, or forced cheer, and instead practice the kind of empathy that fosters real safety and trust over time.Thank you for tuning in!

In this heartfelt episode, When the Season Doesn’t Feel Merry: Honoring Grief, Creating Boundaries, and Finding Grace, Hali and Stephanie talk about how to navigate the holidays when your heart is still healing from betrayal. The season that’s “supposed to be” full of joy and family connection can feel heavy and disorienting after trust has been broken. Together they explore how to name and honor the layers of grief that surface this time of year, release the pressure to perform or pretend, and give yourself permission to do things differently. You’ll hear honest reflections about how grief can show up for both partners — from sadness and guilt to numbness or overwhelm — and how authenticity can become the first step toward peace.
They also share practical ways to protect your healing through boundaries, compassion, and grace. From creating a “holiday boundary check-in” to pausing for moments of shared breath and acknowledgment, this conversation offers tools to help couples stay grounded and connected through the discomfort. Whether you choose quiet simplicity or small new traditions, this episode is an invitation to honor your reality and care for your nervous system

Healing after betrayal is some of the hardest emotional work a person can face — and it is exhausting. Recovery requires constant emotional energy, rebuilding trust, courage, and change over time. That level of effort wears on everyone involved.
In this episode, we acknowledge how draining the process can feel for both the betrayed partner and the partner in recovery, and how that exhaustion can affect the relationship.

Lying often begins as self-protection—but in the aftermath of betrayal, it becomes one of the biggest barriers to rebuilding connection. In this solo episode, Hali explores why lying becomes a habit, how it deepens disconnection, and what it takes to courageously choose honesty as part of the healing journey. Whether you’re the partner in recovery or the betrayed partner navigating trust issues, this conversation is about more than just telling the truth—it’s about reclaiming integrity, safety, and authentic connection. “Honesty isn’t just about facts. It’s about aligning your inner and outer world—and that’s where real healing begins.”

Betrayal cuts deep, leaving both partners facing painful choices about the future of their relationship. For some, staying is the beginning of an authentic rebuilding process; for others, it becomes a form of self-betrayal. In this episode, we unpack the why and the how of staying after betrayal.
We approach this conversation from both perspectives: the betrayed partner and the one who has betrayed. Together, we’ll explore what makes staying a healthy path toward healing—and when it becomes unhealthy, unsafe, or unwise.

Trust after betrayal doesn’t return with one big moment. It’s not only rebuilt through formal disclosures, powerful apologies, or recovery milestones—it’s the hundreds of small choices made day after day.
In this episode, we talk about the power of micro-trust: those tiny interactions that slowly teach a partner’s heart and nervous system, “Maybe I can breathe again. Maybe I can risk hope.”
You’ll learn:
What micro-trust is and why it matters in healing after betrayal.
Everyday examples of micro-trust builders that make a real difference.
Common hurdles couples face when practicing micro-trust.
Simple, steady ways to keep showing up, even when it feels overwhelming.
Rebuilding trust is not about rushing or fixing it all at once. It’s about steady, consistent deposits that eventually create a foundation strong enough to hold safety, hope, and repair.Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode of the Choosing to Stay Podcast, I’m opening up about something personal: my dad’s journey with Lewy Body Dementia and how it sparked my own concerns about brain health. As I walked through my own healing from emotional trauma, I began to realize something powerful—trauma isn’t just about thoughts or mindset. It lives in the brain and the body, shaping the way we show up in life and relationships.Most of the men I work with are carrying the weight of early adverse childhood experiences, and those wounds often fuel the destructive patterns that cause so much pain. If you’ve been working hard in therapy, recovery programs, or support groups but still feel stuck, it’s not because you’re failing. Trauma and addiction don’t just live in your thoughts—they live in your nervous system, your cells, and the physical patterns of stress in your body. Healing requires a whole-person approach.That’s why we created the Men’s Brain-Body Healing Summit, happening November 6–9 in Mesa, Arizona. This 4-day immersive experience goes beyond talk therapy and gives men direct access to healing at the root level—brain, body, and spirit. Together with my husband, Dr. Jeff Roderick, a functional health chiropractor, and my daughter, Morgan Ellsworth, an LMFT intern and brainspotting practitioner, we’ll be guiding participants through science-backed brain therapies, somatic healing, and hands-on restoration. You’ll walk away with practical skills, renewed confidence, and a roadmap for continued growth.If you’re ready to reset and reclaim your strength, this summit may be the missing piece. Join us for a transformational experience of healing, clarity, and brotherhood. Learn more HERE.

Do you ever find yourself craving closeness one moment and pulling away the next? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving deep into disorganized attachment — a pattern of connection rooted in the paradox of both desiring and fearing intimacy.
You’ll learn:
What disorganized attachment is and how it develops
The emotional, behavioral, and physiological signs to look for
Why betrayal trauma can activate this attachment style in adult relationships
The nervous system loop that drives the push–pull dynamic
Practical tools to build secure self-attachment first — and then healthier, safer relational attachment
We’ll explore simple yet powerful ways to:
Name and interrupt old patterns in the moment
Regulate your body before responding
Offer yourself the safety and comfort you long for from others
Communicate needs clearly instead of testing
Repair after conflict and slowly rebuild trust in vulnerability
Whether you’ve experienced betrayal trauma, childhood relational wounds, or simply want to understand your own patterns more deeply, this conversation will help you start moving from fear and confusion toward connection and security.
