Have you ever felt completely stuck trying to make a decision after betrayal — even when you're doing everything “right”? Stay or go. Try again or walk away. Trust your gut… or question it endlessly. After betrayal, even wise, thoughtful decisions can feel impossible to make. Not because you're broken — but because your nervous system is trying to keep you safe. In this episode of FLAUNT!, Lora Cheadle unpacks why decision-making feels so overwhelming after betrayal, how perfectionism and self-blame sneak in when outcomes don't match expectations, and why freeze is a trauma response — not a personal failure. Using a powerful personal story, relatable examples, and trauma-informed insight, Lora reframes what it really means to “choose wisely” and introduces discernment as the missing language betrayed women were never given. You didn't lose your ability to decide. Your system is responding intelligently to uncertainty. Top 3 Takeaways Decision paralysis after betrayal is a nervous system response, not a flaw When expectations collapse, the brain looks for certainty. Freeze is a survival strategy — not proof you can't trust yourself. New information doesn't turn a wise decision into a mistake A decision made with care and discernment deserves respect, even if the outcome changes later. Self-trust isn't about being right — it's about staying with yourself Real self-trust means knowing you won't abandon yourself when things evolve, unravel, or feel uncertain. Favorite Quotes “You didn't choose wrong. You exercised discernment — and the story kept unfolding.” “Self-trust isn't about being right. It's about knowing you won't abandon yourself when things change.” “New information doesn't retroactively make you wrong.” “Blaming yourself isn't truth. It's an attempt to feel powerful again after uncertainty.” About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Today, Pope Leo XIV doubled down, praising the recent Vatican document “Mater Populi Fidelis”, which condemns traditional titles for the Blessed Virgin Mary, claiming that “Co-Redemptrix” is “always inappropriate” and discouraging the title “Mediatrix.” Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, who is surrounded in scandal for writing “theological” books about kissing witches and orgasms, is the author of the document, now signed by Pope Leo. Dr. Taylor Marshall explains the document and controversy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, I'll talk about one of the most painful sexual dynamics I see in marriages: when a wife has been self-betraying for years by having sex she doesn't want, while her husband still feels unsatisfied. I'll explain why orgasms aren't the same thing as satisfaction, and how duty sex can actually block the connection both partners are craving. I'll unpack how this pattern creates deep resentment for her, confusion for him, and eventually a crisis point that forces the relationship to change. I'll also share what real repair can look like, how couples can move from obligation to genuine desire, and why quality and connection matter far more than frequency. This episode will be especially helpful for anyone who feels stuck in a painful sexual stalemate and wants clarity on what's really going wrong and what healing could look like.
Letting go after betrayal sounds simple, but it's some of the hardest work we'll ever do. In this encore episode, I talk honestly about why letting go feels so impossible after infidelity and how we often hold ourselves in pain without realizing it. I walk through the most common ways we stay stuck—replaying details, reminding ourselves of the betrayal, or trying to punish our partner in order to feel safe—and why those strategies end up hurting us more than protecting us. I also explain how trauma and re-experiencing responses can keep our minds and bodies on high alert, even long after the event has passed. From there, I share practical ways to begin loosening your grip, including cognitive shifts, mindfulness, and body-based healing approaches. Letting go isn't about minimizing what happened—it's about choosing peace and trusting that you can handle whatever comes next. This is an intentional, courageous act of faith, and it's one that can bring real relief. In this episode, I cover: Why replaying the betrayal keeps you stuck How trauma affects both the mind and body Practical ways to begin letting go safely Why mindfulness and somatic work matter If this episode resonates with you and you're ready for support, I invite you to reach out and explore working together.

If you wanted to deliberately undermine the United States, could you do better than this?
We recently received a heartfelt message from a listener whose spouse had an affair. They shared a question many couples face after betrayal: Is it truly possible to forgive? While their spouse has expressed deep remorse and appears sincere, the pain, broken trust, and emotional weight feel overwhelming. They want to move forward, but don't know how, or even if forgiveness is possible.Betrayal in marriage comes in many forms, from seemingly small breaches of trust like a financial mistake, to deeply traumatic experiences like infidelity. No matter the size, betrayal can cause significant short- and long-term damage to intimacy, safety, and connection in a relationship.In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we welcome back our good friend Austin Ellis to have an honest and compassionate conversation about healing after betrayal. Together, we explore what forgiveness really means (and what it doesn't), why moving on isn't a linear process, and how couples can begin rebuilding trust, whether reconciliation feels possible right now or not.If you or your spouse are navigating the aftermath of betrayal in any form, this episode offers hope, clarity, and practical insight for taking the next step forward to finding Ultimate Intimacy again in your relationship.If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

This conversation illuminates why younger people are seeking help in their early twenties after years of private struggle that began in childhood.Duane offers perspective on how behavioral addictions reverberate throughout family systems, addressing both youth struggles and partner betrayal.

Award-winning nonfiction writer and former investigative journalist Joe Jackson joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk about President Trump's “Don-roe Doctrine” and his imperial ambitions in Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, and beyond. Jackson, the author of a new book, Splendid Liberators: Heroism, Betrayal, Resistance, and The Birth of American Empire, explains how Trump's plan relies on the template set by the Spanish-American War, through which the U.S. rose as a world power and ended Spanish rule in the Western Hemisphere. Jackson sheds light on the rhetoric that fueled the war, as well as the violent history of U.S. military interference in Cuba and the Philippines. Jackson takes us through iterations of the Monroe Doctrine and outlines the impact of that philosophy on Trump's desire for imperial expansion as well as his authoritarian control domestically, in cities like Minneapolis. He discusses how the Spanish-American War served as a turning point for America's soul, including writers of the time, and how it birthed a culture of war that has continued to impact the nation, its citizens, and the world ever since. Jackson reads from Splendid Liberators.To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

In this episode, I'm talking about something I don't usually address directly: the emotional and physical toll of living in heavy, uncertain times, and what it feels like when staying silent starts to feel like self-betrayal. This isn't a political episode, and it's not about debating sides or policies. It's about how fear, violence, and dehumanization in the world around us affect our nervous systems, our stress levels, and our ability to feel safe even when we don't consciously connect the dots. I share… why silence can sometimes feel protective, but also emotionally costly what moral stress and moral injury do to the body over time why women, especially midlife women, are feeling more exhausted and emotionally worn down lately and how we can care deeply without burning ourselves out or shutting ourselves down My goal with this conversation is not to tell anyone what to think, but to acknowledge what many of us are quietly carrying. And… to remind you that your body isn't "broken" for reacting to the environment you're living in. If you've been feeling heavier, more tired, or more emotionally raw lately, I hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone.

After betrayal, many couples believe they're struggling with communication—but what's really happening is much deeper. Betrayal doesn't just break trust; it rewires the nervous system, changing how safety is experienced inside the relationship. In this episode, we explore why conversations feel loaded after betrayal, why small behaviors can feel overwhelming, and how nervous system responses—like defensiveness, shutdown, or hypervigilance—keep couples stuck in painful cycles. You'll learn why this isn't about being “too sensitive” or “never enough,” but about how the body responds when relational safety has been compromised.Whether you are a betrayed partner, the one rebuilding trust, or a couple navigating healing together, this episode offers compassionate insight, practical nervous system tools, and a powerful reframe that helps interrupt the trauma loop—without blame or shame.Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

In this episode, Michelle takes a deep and compassionate look at self-betrayal—a word that often carries shame, but deserves far more nuance.Rather than framing self-betrayal as weakness, lack of integrity, or poor follow-through, this conversation explores how self-betrayal often develops as a protective response—a way the nervous system learns to prioritize safety, connection, and acceptance over authenticity.You'll hear how self-betrayal shows up in everyday life, especially in our relationships with food, rest, boundaries, and decision-making, and how diet culture in particular trains us to distrust our bodies and override our internal signals. Michelle weaves together personal stories, intuitive eating insights, and accessible neuroscience to explain why “just listening to your body” can feel impossible—or even unsafe—when safety hasn't yet been established.This episode also explores the grief that can surface as we begin repairing self-betrayal, and why that grief is not a setback, but a sign of integration and growth. Instead of striving for perfection or resolution, Michelle emphasizes the power of repair—small, compassionate moments of listening, pausing, and responding with kindness.If you've ever felt stuck in patterns you judge as self-sabotage, or wondered why trusting yourself feels so hard, this episode offers a reframing that is both relieving and deeply human.In this episode, we explore:Why self-betrayal is often about safety, not failureHow the nervous system learns to override internal signalsThe role diet culture plays in training self-distrustThe difference between self-abandonment and self-betrayalWhy awareness doesn't mean you're ready to change—and why that's okayHow grief fits into healing and integrationWhat repair actually looks like in rebuilding body trustA reflection to take with you:The next time you notice the urge to override yourself, ask: “What would help my body feel just a little safer right now?”If this episode resonated with you, Michelle would love to hear your story.

After betrayal, many people believe healing means doing more: more processing, more understanding, more effort, more tolerance. But what if that belief is what's keeping you stuck? In this episode, Luke Shillings introduces essentialism as a recovery lens, not as a productivity tool, but as a way to stabilise, simplify, and heal without burning yourself out. You'll learn why betrayal creates mental and emotional overload, how “trying harder” often backfires, and what actually must be in place for healing to be possible at all. This episode helps you separate what's essential from what's just noise, and why subtraction, not addition, is often the real work. Key Takeaways Healing after betrayal breaks down from overload, not lack of effort The nervous system heals through safety and containment, not information Essentialism means identifying what must be present, and letting go of the rest Subtraction is often more stabilising than adding more tools Safety, reality, emotional permission, and choice are non-negotiables You don't need to understand everything to heal Trying to carry everything often leads to burnout and self-erasure Healing is about becoming more selective, not more capable Who This Episode Is For Anyone feeling overwhelmed by advice or expectations after betrayal Listeners exhausted by “doing all the right things” but still feeling stuck People struggling to know where to focus their energy Those wanting a calmer, more sustainable way to heal Support & Next Steps If healing feels overwhelming, it's often because you're carrying too much, not because you're doing it wrong. Through one-to-one coaching and The After the Affair Collective, Luke helps people identify what's essential, stabilise first, and rebuild with intention rather than urgency.

Marriage betrayal changes everything. When a wife discovers infidelity, the pain, confusion, and trauma can feel overwhelming—and the path to healing often feels unclear. In this episode of Glamour Farms The Podcast, we sit down with Tammy Gustafson, author of Broken to Brave, to talk honestly about healing after infidelity, betrayal trauma, and what recovery really looks like for women who have been cheated on by their husbands. Tammy shares insight into the most common mistakes women make after discovering betrayal—things that feel natural in the moment but can actually slow the healing process. She walks us through the phases of recovery after infidelity, explaining which stages women often try to rush through and why skipping the hard parts can create deeper wounds later on. Healing after a cheating spouse is rarely linear. If you've ever felt like you were making progress only to feel like you're sliding backwards, this conversation offers reassurance and practical wisdom for navigating the ups and downs of betrayal recovery without shame. We also talk about the heavy emotional toll of other people's opinions—from friends, family, church communities, and social circles—and how to protect your heart and boundaries when facing judgment, advice, or pressure during an already painful season. Finally, Tammy reflects on what this journey has taught her about herself, her faith, and God—and what she wishes she had known at the beginning of walking through marriage betrayal. If you're a woman healing after infidelity, questioning your identity, struggling with trust, or searching for hope after heartbreak, this episode will bring you hope and encouragement.

In this episode (#317), we address one of the most destabilizing experiences betrayed partners face: the collapse of reality after discovering a partner's hidden addiction. When betrayal comes from someone who appeared kind, loving, and emotionally present, the trauma can feel especially disorienting. Partners often question their intelligence, intuition, and judgment—but we make it clear that intuition cannot detect information that was deliberately concealed. Betrayal is not a failure of perception; it is the result of sustained secrecy, compartmentalization, and integrity abuse.Rather than focusing on whether the addict is truly in recovery or what the future might hold, we invite partners to gently shift their attention back to themselves. Grounding becomes essential in the aftermath of betrayal, as the nervous system is often locked in hypervigilance and survival mode. We explore the importance of pausing—not freezing—so that decisions are not driven by fear, pressure, or urgency. Authentic wants and needs are not ultimatums or selfish demands; they are expressions of self-truth that deserve to be honored, especially after trauma.Finally, we discuss what it means to reclaim self-trust. Loving another person authentically requires seeing them as they truly are, not just through hope or potential—but it also requires honoring one's own authentic limits, capacity, and bandwidth. This episode is not about making the “right” relationship decision. It is about choosing a path that allows the betrayed partner to remain congruent, grounded, and whole. Healing does not require predicting the future; it begins by staying honest with yourself in the present.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: From Shock to Self-Trust: Reclaiming Your Inner Truth After BetrayalLearn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at: Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at: Reclaim Counseling Services

Part 3 In this episode of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches sit down fresh off an intense couples retreat to unpack what really happens when you stop pretending everything is fine and actually do the work. They debrief the weekend, talk about the energy shift created by Peaches' first guided meditation and sound bath, and share behind-the-scenes details from their women's and men's retreats, upcoming couples retreats, and the early stages of building their church and refuge for abused and struggling men and women. If you're into real marriage talk, couples retreats, guided meditations, chakras, psilocybin, spiritual growth, and practical relationship tools, this episode gives you a raw look at how they blend masculine leadership, feminine softness, nervous system regulation, and deep emotional processing to actually create change, not just talk about it. The heart of the episode is a powerful Patreon email series from a husband who went from cheating and poorly managed polyamory to radical accountability, therapy, ADHD awareness, and the hard question, “Are we still compatible as healthy people, or are we just together out of habit?” Chris and Peaches walk through infidelity, open relationships, trauma-bonding, rebuilding trust after betrayal, neurodivergent “spicy brains,” communication breakdowns, resentment, and what it actually looks like for both partners to earn each other again. If you're wrestling with whether to stay or leave, healing from cheating, navigating poly-to-monogamy, questioning compatibility, or trying to understand ADHD and emotional dysregulation in your marriage, this conversation will hit home and give you straight, no-fluff relationship advice you can start using today.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 19 (John 13) by Shawn Ozbun
Colette Jane Fehr a marriage counselor, EMDR therapist, and author of "The Cost of Quiet." With over two decades of experience helping individuals and couples navigate relationship challenges, Colette specializes in teaching people how to communicate vulnerably and assertively in their most important relationships. Episode Overview In this powerful conversation, Dr. Debi Silber sits down with therapist and author Colette Fehr to explore why speaking up in relationships is essential for healing, growth, and genuine connection—especially after betrayal. Colette shares her personal journey from childhood trauma to relationship betrayal, and how these experiences shaped her understanding of healthy communication and the devastating cost of staying quiet. Key Topics Discussed The Origins of Conflict Avoidance How childhood experiences with parental conflict shape our relationship patterns The difference between destructive conflict (screaming, fighting) and constructive conflict (honest, vulnerable communication) Why some people mistake silence and "keeping the peace" for relationship health The concept of parentification and how it impacts adult relationships Understanding "The Cost of Quiet" Quiet as a euphemism for conflict avoidance Different forms of conflict avoidance that people don't recognize: Self-silencing and sweeping things under the rug Criticism disguised as "expressing feelings" Bickering about surface issues instead of deeper needs Why avoiding vulnerability doesn't actually protect you from pain The Four Bad Communication Report Card Responses (The Four D's and an F) Dismissiveness - "It's no big deal, why are you so upset?" Defensiveness - Getting reactive instead of receptive Distancing - Shutting down, stonewalling, pulling away Fixing - Problem-solving instead of listening and connecting Vulnerability as Strength Why vulnerability is actually the strongest choice you can make How to build the courage to be vulnerable after betrayal Connecting with your inner child before difficult conversations The only way through fear is action—building the vulnerability muscle Self-Connected Communication The importance of I-statements over you-statements Connecting to deeper emotional needs beyond surface complaints Speaking from your "core sage self" (wise, loving adult) rather than reactive parts The distinction between being nice (self-abandoning) and being kind (self-honoring) When to Speak Up Why waiting longer than 24 hours allows resentment to grow Common excuses that keep us from addressing issues (wrong time, they're tired, etc.) Most conversations don't need to be long—short, clear, vulnerable statements work best You can't control your partner's response, but you can control showing up for yourself Building the Assertiveness Muscle Why successful women often struggle with assertiveness in intimate relationships Starting small with low-stakes vulnerable moments The confidence boost that comes from speaking your truth How assertiveness differs from aggressiveness The Meta-Conversation Strategy When your partner repeatedly responds poorly to vulnerability: "I notice that I try to bring up things and share my feelings. I'm taking great effort to say things in a way that's tactful and diplomatic, but honest, and it seems like when I do, I get a defensive or dismissive response. I don't really know where to go from here. Have you noticed that? What's going on with you? Are you willing to work on this with me?" Signs It's Working Reduction in fear when bringing up difficult topics Growing confidence in expressing yourself Your partner responding with openness rather than defensiveness Feeling closer and more connected after vulnerable conversations Even if they don't respond well—you're getting information faster and can make empowered choices After Betrayal: Special Considerations Why vulnerability feels especially terrifying after intimate partner betrayal The connection to Stage 3 of the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough (doing the same thing expecting different results) How moving into Stages 4 and 5 requires having uncomfortable conversations Being vulnerable doesn't guarantee you won't get hurt, but not being vulnerable guarantees disconnection Vulnerability helps you discover more quickly what a relationship will or won't give you Powerful Quotes from the Episode "Being in a relationship is inherently unsafe. It is a risk. But if you're willing to be vulnerable, you're going to find out more quickly what a relationship will and will not give you, and you can make choices that empower and serve your needs." "It's actually not about the coffee cup. It's about the fact that lately I feel like I'm communicating with you and you're not hearing me, and that makes me feel inside—my vulnerable part feels like I'm not important to you." "You've got to speak up no matter what. I don't care how you were raised, what part of the country, what your personality was, who your partner is. This is something you do for you." "Vulnerability is strength, but it is very, very scary. We could be rejected or abandoned. But the only way through fear is by doing—action in the face of fear is what develops the muscle." "If your partner is repeatedly not listening, being dismissive, being defensive, then maybe that tells you something about, 'Do I want to invest in this relationship?' But if you're not being vulnerable and clear, then you're contributing to what's not working." "The point of feelings, the point of emotion, is that they're information processing signals that point us to our needs." "If you're going to bother to try to improve this relationship, we can't have anything better based on just fear of even speaking up." Colette's Personal Journey Childhood Experience: Idyllic childhood until age 10 when parents' marriage began deteriorating Parents (lawyer mother, doctor father) engaged in epic daily fighting Dealt with parental infidelity and eventual divorce Became parentified—taking on emotional mediator role inappropriate for her age Made meaning that she had to rely on herself because adults couldn't care for her properly Rebelled against Catholic school environment as a way of coping First Marriage: Married someone from a conflict-avoidant Southern family Partner was emotionally unavailable and disconnected When she tried to express feelings, received dismissive, defensive, or distancing responses Learned to silence herself to "keep the peace" Marriage failed after having children, leading her to return to graduate school Path to Her Work: Bad experience in marriage counseling inspired her to become a marriage counselor Spent 11 years between marriages dating and experiencing significant betrayals Been cheated on by two partners in ways that "gutted" her Now in second marriage of 9 years (together 12 years) Uses EMDR therapy in her practice Wrote "The Cost of Quiet" to provide a preventative roadmap for others Practical Takeaways Connect with your inner child before vulnerable conversations - Acknowledge the fear, reassure yourself you've got your own back no matter the outcome Use the template for vulnerable communication: Start small with low-stakes topics Use I-statements, not you-statements Speak to deeper needs, not just surface complaints Be specific about what you need Address issues within 24 hours - Don't let resentment build by waiting for the "perfect time" Watch for your own conflict avoidance patterns: Are you criticizing instead of being vulnerable? Are you bickering about surface issues? Are you staying silent to keep the peace? Remember: Vulnerability invites vulnerability - When you show up authentically, you often get authenticity back Let go of trying to control your partner's response - You can't manage how they'll react, but you can show up for yourself Apply this skill everywhere - Practice assertive, vulnerable communication in all relationships, not just romantic ones Resources Connect with Colette Fehr: Website: ColetteFehr.com Instagram: @ColetteJaneFehr TikTok: @ColetteJaneFehr Book: "The Cost of Quiet" (available on her website and wherever books are sold) Podcasts: "Insights from the Couch" (for women at midlife) "Love Thy Neighbor" (all about relationships) For Post Betrayal Syndrome® Recovery: Learn more about the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™ Visit The PBT Institute for resources on healing from betrayal and becoming a Certified PBT Coach or Practitioner Episode Themes #Communication #VulnerabilityIsStrength #BetrayalRecovery #HealthyRelationships #ConflictResolution #EmotionalIntelligence #Assertiveness #InnerChildWork #RelationshipHealing #SelfAdvocacy #TheCostOfQuiet
Send us a textPeople love to ask a woman in an abusive relationship, “Why doesn't she just leave?”But leaving is not always safety. Sometimes it's the most dangerous step she can take, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually.In this powerful episode of The Dimple Bindra Show, we unpack what really happens inside an abusive, narcissistic relationship… and why so many women stay far longer than they want to.I'm joined by Dana S. Diaz, bestselling, award-winning author of the memoir trilogy Gasping for Air, Choking on Shame, and Rising from the Ashes. She's also a global speaker, podcast host, and one of the most sought-after guests of 2024, appearing on nearly 300 podcasts worldwide.Dana's story is one of survival, silence, awakening, and reclaiming her life after 25 years with a narcissistic, abusive partner.Together, we explore:Why leaving an abusive partner can actually be the most dangerous momentHow love bombing, apology cycles, and manipulation trap women in emotional quicksandWhy silence becomes survival and why that's not weakness, but traumaHow childhood abuse and neglect set women up to repeat the same relationships in adulthoodThe neuroscience behind why we are drawn to familiar painHow psychological abuse becomes physical violenceWhy women self-blame, self-silence, and stay even when their body is breaking downThe physical healing that began the moment he left the houseHow healthy love later triggered her old trauma patternsWhy self-sabotage shows up in safe relationshipsHow rebuilding trust in yourself is the foundation of rebuilding your lifeIf something moved in your chest or your gut while listening, that's not just a podcast moment, that's your soul saying: We're ready now.You don't have to heal in silence anymore.
Send us a textYour person is still alive, but the life you planned with them is gone. That contradiction sits at the heart of grief after betrayal and divorce, and it's why so many of us feel unseen, judged, and stuck in waves that won't resolve. We open up about the layered losses—marriage, future, identity, safety—and why accepting reality can feel like a second heartbreak. Without casseroles or closure, you're left to question what was real, manage a buzzing nervous system, and navigate co-parenting triggers while trying to rebuild trust in yourself.Together we unpack how gaslighting and manipulation complicate healing, why two truths can stand side by side—you can love someone and still leave—and how boundaries become acts of love that protect your recovery. We get practical with a simple grief protocol: short daily windows to cry without apology, honest journaling, letters you never send, breathwork to release emotion without words, and movement to help the body complete stress cycles. We also talk about the hidden cost of avoidance—anxiety, numbness, repeat relationship patterns—and why rebound relationships rarely resolve the wound that created the pain.There's no finish line stamped on your calendar. Progress looks like fewer spikes, steadier sleep, and kinder self-talk. You don't heal after grief; you heal through it, crossing the river of misery one steady step at a time. If you've wondered whether joy can return, we've been there. Joy can sit beside sorrow without betraying what you lost. You didn't fail because you grieve—you grieve because you loved. If you're choosing yourself now, you're already on the path to a safer, brighter future.If this conversation served you, share it with a friend who needs truth without sugarcoating.

For more than a decade, Kurdish forces in northeastern Syria were America's most trusted ally, spearheading the war against Isis, taking responsibility for guarding thousands of jihadi prisoners of war, and in the process carving out an autonomous statelet that seemed poised to realise the dream of Kurdish independence. Over the past few weeks, that dream as has been crushed.In a sudden offensive, Ahmed Al Sharaa's transitional Syrian government has evicted the Kurds from vast territories including the country's biggest oilfield. Abandoned by their American allies, the Kurds have been forced to cede ground including the sprawling Isis prison camps. What now for the Kurds, for Syria, and for the jihadists Isis veterans?To answer this and more, Roland is joined by The Telegraph's senior foreign correspondent Sophia Yan and Senior Research Fellow, Middle East Security, Dr Burcu Ozcelik from RUSI.Read Dr Burcu's research paper on northern Syria: https://www.jstor.org/stable/27342855 Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

We dive into an inspiring and thoughtful conversation with Reverend Dr. Xenia Barnes, a social behavioural scientist and organizational healing expert. We get right into our acronym, B.I.T.C.H., which stands for Betrayal, Identity, Trust, Change, and Healing. This episode explores how women have been challenged by stereotypes, societal expectations, and the burdens of roles imposed by others. Dr. Xenia Barnes brings a deep, global perspective to these themes, discussing the layers of betrayal women face and the importance of redefining identity beyond relational or professional titles. The episode highlights the transformative journey of self-trust, the necessity of embracing change, and the healing that comes from reclaiming your life and purpose, even in the face of serious personal adversity. In this exchange, you will hear actionable advice about self-inventory, breaking free from people-pleasing habits, finding strength in solitude, and the importance of daily growth. At its core, the discussion reclaims and redefines the word “Bitch,” supporting women to embrace it as a badge of confidence, boundaries, and personal empowerment. This episode is truly about challenging the status quo, encouraging women's self-discovery, and building resilience.

When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."
Attachment theory is everywhere right now — anxious, avoidant, fearful, secure — but after infidelity, simply understanding your attachment style doesn't stop the emotional whiplash. In this powerful episode, Lora Cheadle is joined by Bryan Power, a Certified Integrated Attachment Theory Coach, for an honest, grounded conversation about how attachment wounds actually show up after betrayal — and what it really takes to heal them. Together, they break down the four attachment styles, explore why betrayal hits attachment at its core, and walk through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — practical tools that move you from survival and confusion into clarity, safety, and secure connection. This episode goes beyond theory. You'll learn why insight alone doesn't regulate the nervous system, how subconscious wounds drive behavior, and what helps betrayed partners stop feeling “crazy” when triggers hit — without excusing betrayal or bypassing accountability. If you've ever thought, “I know what's happening — so why does it still hurt this much?” — this episode is for you. Top 3 Takeaways Knowing your attachment style doesn't equal healing You can name your pattern perfectly and still panic when your partner withdraws. Healing happens through felt safety, not logic alone. Betrayal exposes unhealed attachment wounds — in both partners Infidelity doesn't come from nowhere. It often reveals deep subconscious beliefs around safety, abandonment, worth, and betrayal that were never healed. Secure attachment is built — not born Through the six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory — core wounds, needs, emotions, boundaries, communication, and behavior — couples can move toward safety, clarity, and conscious connection. Favorite Quote “Attachment wounds don't heal through understanding. They heal through safety — again and again — in real time.” About Bryan In 2024 Bryan Power and his wife would go from having a pretty good relationship to a complete relationship failure. That failure culminated with a restraining order his wife would put against him for her emotional safety. During that breakup time, Bryan would discover the Integrated Attachment Theory Program that would ultimately provide him with the insights and tools necessary to put their relationship back together. Now Bryan uses his inspirational story, personal insights and the integrated attachment theory program to teach others how to use their breakup the get the breakthroughs they have been looking for.

The Real Reason Betrayal Feels Like an Emotional Roller Coaster (What to Do About It) One minute you're steady. Clear. Even hopeful. And the next minute you hear their name… see a movie scene… hit an anniversary… and you're right back on the floor wondering, What is wrong with me? Nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, I break down the real reason betrayal feels like an emotional rollercoaster—and why those swings don't mean you're failing. You'll learn the difference between knowledge (understanding what happened) and integration (your nervous system actually living from safety again), why relief can feel like healing (even when it isn't), and what it truly takes to calm the spirals for good—so you can stop questioning your progress and start rebuilding steady self-trust. Top 3 Takeaways Feeling better isn't the same as being healed. Insight can bring real relief—but relief can masquerade as completion. That “aha” moment is knowledge… not integration. Triggers don't mean you're back at square one. Hearing the affair partner's name, seeing a text, watching a movie scene—those reactions aren't proof you're broken. They're proof your body is still learning safety. Integration is where healing actually happens. Healing lives in your moment-to-moment responses: how you regulate, what you say, what you choose, and how you show up when your system is activated. Who This Episode Is For Women who feel steady one day and wrecked the next, and don't understand why Listeners who've read the books, binged the podcasts, gone to therapy… and still feel “better only sometimes” Anyone who keeps thinking, “Why am I still triggered?” and wants a grounded explanation that doesn't pathologize them Favorite Quote “Calm is not the same as change. Knowledge lives in the mind—integration lives in the body.” LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.

listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey's Greatest Hits!This replay episode features host David Manheim reflecting on personal chaos, gratitude amid frustration, powerful listener emails/stories (including a harrowing crack/coke seizure tale from Minnesota Matt), and a full classic interview with his partner Linda. They share their raw, unfiltered relationship story—from meeting via mutual friend Todd, early partying (coke, Ativan, drinking), pregnancy amid hidden heroin relapse, family destruction during active addiction, separation, supervised visitations, Dave's bottoming out, eventual sobriety, reconciliation, and rebuilding a family with two kids. Interspersed with intros, emails, Spotify comments, voicemails, and musical interludes (Firecracker rap, song snippets), it captures Dopey's signature mix of dark humor, brutal honesty, recovery insights, and "dumb shit" war stories.The episode opens with Dave navigating recent frustrations—dealing with a guest pulling an episode due to cold feet, sponsor issues, and everyday life stressors—while emphasizing core recovery principles like acceptance, gratitude, and service over resentment. He reflects on childhood influences like Popeye's "I am what I am" mantra as a metaphor for self-acceptance in sobriety, and teases upcoming substantive guests while reading heartfelt (and critical) listener feedback. The heart of the show is the replay of a classic episode featuring Dave and Linda's candid conversation, detailing the highs and lows of their relationship: from initial attraction and drug-fueled early days, through the pregnancy discovery and Dave's escalating heroin use (including nodding out during birthing classes and missing key moments post-birth), to the devastating confrontation when Linda discovered the paraphernalia and the subsequent separation.The story doesn't shy away from the pain—Linda's isolation during a complicated delivery, Dave's rock-bottom spiral involving heavy daily use, arrests, and black eyes during supervised visits with their daughter Nora—but it ultimately lands on hope and redemption. Dave credits their daughter as a major motivator for sobriety, and the couple discusses the hard work of rebuilding trust, family life, and even welcoming a second child. Reflections on the losses of close friends Todd and Chris add emotional weight, underscoring how addiction's toll extends beyond the individual.

In this episode, Marnie sits down with Scott and Laura, a couple who courageously share their journey of healing after betrayal. What followed Scott's infidelity was not a quick fix or a straight path forward, but years marked by pain, rupture, and a slow, non-linear process of rebuilding trust and connection.Together, Scott and Laura reflect on the early days after discovery - when fear, confusion, and disconnection felt overwhelming - and the hard truths they had to face along the way. Laura speaks openly about her struggle with boundaries and the painful realization that she had been tolerating more than she should have. Scott shares vulnerably about his own abandonment wounds, how they fueled a sense of righteousness, and the moment he recognized he was expecting Laura to carry pain that was his to heal.They discuss the concrete steps that helped shift their relationship, including Scott joining a men's group, learning to take responsibility for his emotional world, and the transformative impact of Imago dialogue. They also explore the power of couples recovery check-ins and the clarity that emerged through Laura's second impact letter.This conversation offers a hopeful and grounded look at what it takes to move from living in fear and survival to standing side-by-side in honesty, accountability, and connection. For anyone navigating the aftermath of betrayal trauma, this episode is a reminder that while healing is hard, it is possible.Connect with us: Book a free 15-minute consultation call here.
Two Civil Wars: Leftist Church Attacks & The Pro-Life Betrayal (ft. Matthew Clark) On this episode of Cross Politic, Toby and Gabe welcome Pastor Matt Clark, a board-certified physician and Executive Director of Personhood South Carolina, onto the show to talk about the issue of abortion legislation and why the pro-life movement needs equal protection laws that criminalize abortion without exception, including holding mothers accountable for their participation in ending their children's lives.
