In this episode, host Carol Roper sits down with Jody Allen, author of Hidden Heartache, for an honest conversation about surviving a marriage torn apart by pornography addiction.
Jody shares her personal journey through betrayal, shame, and eventually divorce — a decision she never wanted and doesn’t advocate for others, but one she made peace with after years of walking through unimaginable pain. Now, Jody ministers to women facing the same heartache, helping them process shame that was never theirs to carry and find hope on the other side of addiction’s damage to their marriage.
This conversation covers the early signs of addiction’s impact on a marriage, how shame attaches itself to spouses who did nothing wrong, what healing actually looks like day to day, and what every woman facing this pain needs to hear right now.
If you or someone you love is walking through the heartache of a spouse’s addiction, this episode offers both understanding and real hope.
