Monica Humpal

Rev. Monica Humpal is a master certified life coach, ordained United Methodist pastor, podcast host, and author who helps people navigate the complicated work of healing after betrayal.

Her work is deeply personal. After discovering her husband’s infidelity, Monica spent years walking through betrayal, separation, reconciliation, and the rebuilding of a marriage she once thought might not survive. That experience eventually led her to become a coach, supporting others who choose to stay and heal after infidelity.

Monica is the author of Betrayed & Stayed: The Truth About Betrayal, Healing, and Reconciliation, a compassionate, practical guide for betrayed partners trying to make sense of what happened, rebuild trust, and decide what healing can look like for them.

She is also the host of the Betrayed & Stayed podcast, where she talks candidly about affair recovery, reconciliation, trust, triggers, intimacy, and the realities of rebuilding a relationship after betrayal.

Following the death of her husband, Steve, in 2025 after a battle with cancer, Monica’s work has expanded to include the intersection of love, loss, grief, resilience, and what it means to build a meaningful life after the life you expected changes.

She is a mother of two adult children and lives in North Carolina.
