Ep.49 When Faith Meets Betrayal Trauma with Gina Kaye

In this episode of Faith & Feels, I sit down with Gina Kaye for an honest and courageous conversation about betrayal trauma and the role faith can play in the healing journey. Gina shares her story of discovering her ex-husband’s hidden struggles with addiction, walking through the pain of divorce, and slowly rebuilding her life after everything she thought was secure fell apart.Together, we talk about the deep impact of betrayal trauma, why specialized support and safe community are essential for healing, and how often faith spaces lack the language and structure to care well for those in crisis. Gina also speaks to the ways betrayal can shake one’s faith, especially for women who feel unseen or silenced in their pain.This conversation is for anyone who feels lost, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. Gina’s story is a reminder that healing takes time, help matters, and you deserve to find your voice. You are not alone—and there is hope.Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of betrayal trauma, addiction, and divorce, which may be activating for some listeners.
