Summary
In today’s episode of the Grounded Union Podcast , Brandon and Caitlyn open Season 5 with the raw reality of grief after betrayal. They break down the three major sources of pain for the betrayed spouse—the numbness of the partner who caused it, the ongoing waves of hidden lies, and the complete collapse of the life you thought you were living. They challenge the cultural pressure to “just get over it” and instead invite you to heal through the pain, release it in healthy ways, and create something new. You’ll walk away with simple, powerful practices and a reframing that turns grief into the very thing that can rebuild your marriage.
