After betrayal, you're left asking impossible questions: Was it an addiction? A choice? Can it change? This powerful conversation with sexologist and social worker Cheryl Camarillo brings clarity, compassion, and grounded hope. Together, Lora and Cheryl unpack how to tell the difference between sexual addiction and acting-out behavior, what integrity abuse really means, and why empathy—not shame—is the foundation for healing. You'll learn how to assess whether reconciliation is truly possible, what real accountability looks like, and why safety, trust, and emotional regulation must come before intimacy. Whether you stay or go, this episode will help you understand the path forward so you can heal on every level—mind, body, and soul. Top 3 Takeaways Addiction vs. Acting Out: Understanding the root of your partner's behavior determines the right kind of help and prevents further harm. Integrity Abuse & Entitlement: When promises and empathy break down, healing can't begin until accountability replaces defensiveness. Safety Before Sex: Real intimacy rebuilds through empathy, co-regulation, and emotional safety—not through “hysterical bonding” or performance.   Favorite Quote “You don't go back to who you were before betrayal — you become someone wiser, clearer, and more grounded in truth.”     Special Offers $97 Introductory Session – “Hope Rebuild Session” One hour, 1:1 on Zoom to locate your stage of healing and map your next right step.

Hope After Betrayal: Rebuilding When Everything You Believed In Falls Apart “We don't always realize it, but one of the hardest parts of betrayal isn't the lies or even the loss of love—it's the shattering of hope.” — Lora Cheadle In this intimate episode, Lora reframes hope as the bridge between devastation and a life rebuilt—not toxic positivity or waiting for someone else to change, but grounded, embodied hope rooted in your choices, compassion, meaning, and connection. You'll hear the four stages of hope after betrayal (from false hope to grounded hope), how to spot the difference between wishful thinking and true hope, and five practical ways to bring hope back online in your body and your life—no matter which path your relationship takes. Top 3 Takeaways Name the real injury: The deepest wound of betrayal isn't just the loss of trust—it's the death of hope. Feeling hopeless is a nervous-system protection, not a personal failure. True hope vs. toxic hope: Toxic hope waits for someone else to change; true hope trusts you to create peace, safety, and joy again—regardless of the outcome. From flicker to foundation: Rebuild hope through Connection, Choice, Compassion, Meaning/Faith, and Embodiment—small, consistent actions that restore agency and let your body feel hopeful again.

How to Feel Like Yourself Again After Betrayal — Without Fixing a Thing “What if feeling like yourself again isn't about fixing anything—but releasing what isn't you anymore?” — Lora Cheadle Healing isn't supposed to be another job. In this soul-stirring solo episode, Lora Cheadle reframes recovery from betrayal, showing why focusing on fixing what's broken only keeps you stuck in the cycle of pain. Instead of “working on” yourself, what if you started creating yourself — not the perfect version, but the real one? Through the Alter Ego Embodiment Exercise from her book FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy & Spiritual Self, Lora invites you to use art, imagination, and movement to rediscover who you are beneath the masks, labels, and expectations. This isn't about performing for others — it's about performing to stop performing. You'll practice being the version of you who already feels peaceful, playful, and free, until it becomes second nature. Whether you're newly betrayed or years past discovery day, this episode will help you exhale, unclench, and reconnect with the woman inside who's ready to feel good again — not someday, but now. You'll Learn Why focusing on “healing” often leads to more healing work (and not more freedom) How to shift from fixing the past to creating your future self The safe, playful power of alter ego embodiment to reclaim confidence and joy How to integrate your shadow and higher self into a Statement of Divine Empowerment Why somatic release through dance and movement (like Yogalesque®) works better than thinking your way through pain Join the Creation and the Conversation: FREE FLAUNT!

Have you ever been betrayed? You're probably thinking, “Of course I have, Jen.” That can be betrayal in a professional relationship with a boss or colleague or as devastating as marriage infidelity. But have you thought of burnout as a form of self-betrayal? When I saw Lora Cheadle, my guest today, refer to burnout that way, I was like “Ouch. That is some tough love right there.” I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about Lora's perspective on betrayal.During the show, Lora and I chatted about:Her personal betrayal storyWhat Lora thinks of burnout as a form of self-betrayalKey tips on how you can rise above betrayal and thrive personally and professionallyHer Flaunt FrameworkWe touch on Lora's books, FLAUNT!

Feeling Like “It's Not Fair” After Betrayal? Let Go of Blame, Choose Peace & Reclaim Your Power –A coaching session with Jane “You can have a grudge or you can have freedom—but you can't have both.” — Lora Cheadle When betrayal detonates your life, “It's not fair” becomes the drumbeat in your head. In this intimate coaching session with “Jane,” we walk the real path from righteous anger and blame to sovereignty: naming what's actually happening (mental/physical exhaustion), discerning what you can control (boundaries, micro-choices), and choosing peace over the power of the grudge. If you've been holding the story together for your kids, your home, and everyone else—while seething at the unequal load—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and offer a way through. Top 3 Takeaways Grudge vs. Freedom: You can have a grudge or you can have freedom—but not both. The shift begins by noticing when you're in blame and choosing peace on purpose. Name the Real Problem: Trade the story (“This is all his fault”) for the truth in your body (“This is mentally and physically exhausting”). Naming what is puts your power where your feet are. Micro-Choices Restore Agency: One firm “no” a week and one nourishing “yes” a week for six weeks changes your nervous system, your schedule, and your sense of self. Episode Highlights Why anger is sometimes a functional fuel—and how to thank it without letting it drive. The fairness myth: differentiating external unfairness from creating internal justice. “Give him the victim seat.” If someone must occupy it, let it be him—so you can choose the seat of peace. Language swap that changes everything: from “I have to” → “I am choosing to.” A simple boundary: “Please stop texting me.” Why this one sentence matters for your nervous system and your future.

What Healing Really Is (and Isn't) After Betrayal Humility, Choice, and Community –with Wendi Cohen ““Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle “Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it's messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline. If you've ever wondered, Why don't I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don't approve. You'll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can't, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of doing it all alone. Top 3 Takeaways Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You'll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn't mean you're failing. Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won't happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change. You're allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people's opinions—defines your direction. Episode Highlights The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed. From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes. Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body's intelligence can be heard. Community as medicine: when you can't hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you. Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what's next. Resources Mentioned Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins) Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding) A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?” About Wendi With contagious joy and heart, all that Wendi Cohen offers is with the intention of healthy change. She has been a dynamic and instrumental force helping people from all over the world as an educator and mentor in the field of spirituality and wellness. Highly regarded for her many years at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, she managed and facilitated their signature program, Perfect Health. Working with Dr. Deepak Chopra and being involved with cutting edge research in meditation and Ayurveda there, Wendi has been up close and personal with the brightest minds in the wellness industry. Now working with Lee Harris Energy, she is the Director of Studio Operations and a producer who uses her creative prowess, intuition and vision to support transformational work. What makes her special in this field, is that she found meditation and mindfulness on her own path to healing after being diagnosed with a rare and chronic illness in 2003. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to think outside of the box led her to looking at integrative approaches. That is when she had profound shifts in her health and also fell in love with meditation. As a result of her journey, Wendi has a deep capacity to understand the many challenges people face when looking at healing and transformation. She is also a board certified Integrative NLP Practitioner and trained in Authentic Communication. Being of service is when Wendi is the happiest - supporting people so they feel more peaceful, clear, and grounded, experiencing more love and inspiration in their lives is what lights her up. Her mantra is "follow the fun" and that is EXACTLY what she hopes to inspire in others. The Humility of Healing... By Wendi Cohen Healing is often a misunderstood journey that reveals lessons in humility and the chance for deep learning, uncovering aspects of ourselves, if and only if, we are willing to look at them. By allowing and receiving, staying open and getting creative, thinking with our hearts while feeling our bodies, there can be some profound shifts in how we experience the challenge - whether it is physical, emotional or heart based. In my case, it was learning to navigate a new 'normal' after a life-changing diagnosis that rocked my world. My path has been messy while stunningly beautiful, scary and empowering - filled with moments I'd never ever want to revisit AND also so many moments of being the recipient of so much love and generosity, from unexpected places. When we have a better understanding that healing isn't necessarily linear - that it can be like a game of chutes and ladders or riding a roller coaster that takes your breath away, heart opening and heart breaking - but with the infusion of creativity, receptivity, a sense of humor and beginning new each day, it can become less jarring.  Now twenty years later, to have had the good fortune to learn and then work with some of the most extraordinary visionaries, teachers, healers, and with my clients, I am truly humbled by it all - the good, the challenging and what has yet to come.   Favorite Quote “Healing isn't something you do once and finish.

“Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle “Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it's messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline. If you've ever wondered, Why don't I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don't approve. You'll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can't, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of doing it all alone.   Top 3 Takeaways Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You'll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn't mean you're failing. Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won't happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change. You're allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people's opinions—defines your direction. Episode Highlights The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed. From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes. Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body's intelligence can be heard. Community as medicine: when you can't hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you. Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what's next. Resources Mentioned Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins) Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding) A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?”   About Wendi With contagious joy and heart, all that Wendi Cohen offers is with the intention of healthy change.   She has been a dynamic and instrumental force helping people from all over the world as an educator and mentor in the field of spirituality and wellness.

Afraid You'll Mess This Up? How to Stop Analysis Paralysis After Infidelity (Regulate First, Decide Second) “Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle Terrified you'll make the wrong move and “blow up” your life—even though you didn't cause the betrayal? In this episode, Lora Cheadle breaks down why smart, high-achieving women get stuck in analysis paralysis after infidelity and how to shift from panic to self-trust. Learn to spot fight/flight/freeze/fawn (fix), regulate your nervous system in minutes, and make clear decisions you won't regret. You'll also get a powerful responsibility reframe (final decision ≠ cause) plus Lora's unforgettable “dog-poop on the carpet” analogy to help you choose the right next step—therapy, coaching, or pause—without fear of “messing it up.” Perfect for women ready to reclaim their voice, their worth, and their future. Top 3 Takeaways Regulate before you decide: Identify fight/flight/freeze/fawn and use quick somatic resets to bring your thinking brain back online. Final decision ≠ cause: Choosing divorce—or staying—doesn't mean you “blew it up.” Accountability stays with the betrayer. Your strengths were hijacked, not wrong: You weren't cheated on because you're weak; your high-achiever traits were exploited.

The Truth About Closure: Why We Want It, How to Get It & When to Walk Away “Know who you're dealing with before you seek closure. Can you be okay with every possible reaction? If not, don't set yourself up for more harm.” — Dr. Gary McClain “If I could just get closure…” How many times have you said those words after betrayal, breakup, or loss? In this powerful episode of FLAUNT!, Lora Cheadle sits down with Dr. Gary McClain—psychotherapist, relationship coach, and author of The Power of Closure: Why We Want It, How to Get It, and When to Walk Away. Together, they unravel the myths about closure, why we crave it, and the surprising ways it can either heal or harm us. From ghosting to infidelity, narcissistic partners to unspoken endings, you'll learn how to stop chasing the fairytale ending and start creating compassionate closure—whether or not the other person is willing to participate. This is the episode that will change the way you think about “the end” forever. Top 3 Takeaways Closure isn't always what you think it is. Sometimes it's not about a neat ending—it's about validating yourself, choosing compassion, and walking away whole. Intentions matter. Before seeking closure, ask yourself: Do I want understanding, forgiveness, to be “right,” or to hurt them back? Your intention determines your outcome. You don't always need them to heal. Even if the betrayer refuses contact (or is unavailable), you can find closure by processing your grief, reconnecting with yourself, and embracing life again. “Closure doesn't always come from them—it often comes from choosing yourself.” – Lora Cheadle Subscribe, rate, and review FLAUNT! to help others uncover the power of radical self-worth and post-betrayal joy Join Sanctuary of the Soul — Just $47/month Your safe haven for healing after betrayal.

Victoria Johnson speaks with attorney-turned-betrayal-recovery expert Lora Cheadle about healing after profound betrayal and reclaiming identity, joy, and agency. Lora shares how discovering her husband's long-term infidelity dismantled her sense of self, how she rebuilt using her 5-step FLAUNT framework, and why accepting reality, feeling feelings, and trusting your own truth are the bedrock of recovery. Together they explore reframing anniversaries of loss, navigating setbacks without spiritual bypassing, and “closing scenes” in life like a screenwriter so you can move into the next act with intention.Betrayal can come from people, life events, our bodies, and self-abandonment through people-pleasing and perfectionism.Healing requires both regulation and meaning-making.

Betrayal doesn't just happen in your mind—it lives in your body. The racing heart, the tight chest, the endless mental loops that keep you awake at night… they're not just “in your head.” They're your body holding on to trauma. And while journaling, therapy, and mindset work can bring clarity, they don't always free you from the pain that's lodged deep within. That's why this conversation with betrayal recovery coach, TEDx speaker, and author Lora Cheadle is so powerful. Lora knows firsthand the devastation of infidelity, and she shares how somatic healing, hypnosis, and even burlesque-inspired movement can unlock joy, sensuality, and a true sense of safety after betrayal. Together, we explore how trauma gets stored on a cellular level and the surprising ways to release it, how hypnosis helps quiet the obsessive loops about the affair or the other woman, and why reconnecting with your sensual body is not just important—it's essential. Lora even introduces the playful, empowering practice of burlesque-inspired movement and Yogalesque® as a way to reclaim pleasure, confidence, and personal power. If you've been stuck reliving the same painful stories, this episode is an invitation to step out of your head and back into your body. Because real healing—and the freedom to fully live again—begins when your body feels safe enough to let go. Lora Cheadle brings not only her professional expertise but her lived experience of betrayal. After discovering her husband's 15-year affair, she turned heartbreak into a path of healing and joy, and now guides women through the emotional, energetic, and even ancestral layers of betrayal recovery. She's the author of FLAUNT! and It's Not Burnout, It's Betrayal, and the host of the FLAUNT! Create a Life You Love After Infidelity or Betrayal podcast. This episode is a compassionate reminder that your healing isn't just about making sense of the past—it's about reclaiming your body, your joy, and your life. Connect with Lora: Listen to the Flaunt!

Knowledge & Injury of Betrayal: How Truth Becomes Justice After Infidelity  “The knowledge is what hurt me. The knowledge is also what saved me. Justice began when I chose truth and stopped betraying myself.” – Lora Cheadle What exactly was injured by betrayal—the body, the bank account, your heart, or your reality? In this powerful episode, Lora reframes the “injury” of infidelity and reveals why knowledge is both what hurts and what heals. Former attorney and betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle guides you through a rare lens on infidelity: damages and justice. Drawing on litigation concepts (compensation, wrongful death, restitution), she asks the unaskable: If you hadn't known, would you have been hurt? From STDs and financial losses to shattered expectations and gaslighting, Lora shows how the knowledge of betrayal creates the sharpest pain—and how that same knowledge becomes your path to truth, agency, and inner justice. You'll leave with precise journaling prompts, somatic supports, and a brave new definition of being “made whole.” Top 3 Takeaways Name the real injury: Beyond physical and financial harm, betrayal injures perception—your story of self, partner, and past. Knowledge is the wound that reveals the truth. Justice starts inside: Courts price damages in dollars; your healing prices them in truth, boundaries, self-respect, and choice. External amends help—but inner justice completes the repair. From martyr to sovereign: Stop abandoning yourself. Make and keep unbroken promises to you—sleep, nourishment, movement, time, money, voice—and take what you need to heal.

Knowledge & Injury of Betrayal: How Truth Becomes Justice After Infidelity  “The knowledge is what hurt me. The knowledge is also what saved me.

Nervous System Regulation After Betrayal: Somatic Tools to Calm Panic, Stop Shutdown, and Reclaim Your Power “Sensations are the language of the nervous system. When you notice—and stay with—the feeling, the cycle completes and your system comes back to safety.”  -- Laurie James When betrayal scrambles your nervous system, healing isn't just “mindset”—it's body-based. In this episode, we unpack somatic, practical ways to calm panic, prevent shutdown, and rebuild your capacity so you can make clear decisions and feel safe again. Betrayal shocks the body as much as the mind. Lora talks with somatic practitioner and coach Laurie James about nervous system regulation after infidelity—what “somatic” really means, how polyvagal states show up (ventral vagal, sympathetic, dorsal), and simple practices that help you come out of anxiety, numbness, or overwhelm. You'll learn how to complete the stress cycle, set body boundaries, and create five-minute rituals that expand your capacity without adding more to your plate. Whether you're staying, leaving, or still deciding, these tools help you feel safer now—so you can choose your next step from clarity, not crisis. Top 3 Takeaways Know your state to change your state. Learn the cues of ventral (present/connected), sympathetic (fight/flight), and dorsal (shutdown). Naming your state reduces shame and gives you a map back to safety. Small pockets > big pushes. Micro-practices (5 minutes to ground, orient, breathe, feel sensations) complete the stress cycle and build capacity—so you can handle life with more ease and fewer blowups. Somatic ≠ “just think positive.” 80% of information travels from body to brain; regulation starts in the body. Gentle, titrated work prevents re-traumatization and supports wiser decisions during hard conversations, mediation, or reconciliation. About Laurie James — Somatic Practitioner & Life Coach Laurie James is a mother, divorcée, recovering caregiver turned author, somatic relationship coach, and podcaster. Laurie's podcast, Confessions of a Freebird, was inspired by her youngest of four children leaving the nest and is the sequel to her book, Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go. Laurie's book is about her journey from loneliness to finding belonging during a time when she was raising four teenage daughters, her mother had a heart attack and needed care, all while her marriage began to crumble. Now Laurie helps women divorce, heal, and date differently in midlife. She blends her coaching and somatic training to help her clients develop a better relationship with their bodies and nervous system. Doing so allows them to find the inner freedom to experience more happiness, joy and create the life they desire. When she is not coaching clients or podcasting, she can be found nurturing her free spirit by walking her dog, skiing, sailing, hiking, spending time with close friends or planning her next adventure.

The Mindset of a Cheating Man: Why Men Cheat & Their Justifications “Pain may explain behavior, but it never justifies harm.” — Lora Cheadle What's really going on inside the mindset of a cheating man? Why do men betray the ones they love—and then create endless justifications for cheating? In this episode, betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle exposes the truth: cheating is never about you. It's about their fragile need for validation, their desire to numb pain, their sense of entitlement, and unresolved trauma. By breaking down the difference between reasons and justifications, and unpacking shocking statistics about infidelity, this conversation frees you from shame and isolation. Because while cheating may be explainable, it is never justifiable. Top 3 Takeaways: The shocking truth about justification: Cheaters don't give reasons—they invent justifications to make themselves feel okay about doing something they know is wrong. This changes everything about how you interpret what he says. Cheating as numbing, not desire: Affairs aren't about attraction or sex. They're often about avoiding failure, loneliness, or unresolved pain. Cheating is a maladaptive coping strategy—another way to not feel. The delusional mindset revealed: From childhood trauma to fragile egos, many cheating men live in a self-created fantasy world where betrayal feels “necessary.” Understanding this breaks the shame cycle and helps you reclaim your power.

“Pain may explain behavior, but it never justifies harm.” — Lora Cheadle What's really going on inside the mindset of a cheating man? Why do men betray the ones they love—and then create endless justifications for cheating? In this episode, betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle exposes the truth: cheating is never about you. It's about their fragile need for validation, their desire to numb pain, their sense of entitlement, and unresolved trauma. By breaking down the difference between reasons and justifications, and unpacking shocking statistics about infidelity, this conversation frees you from shame and isolation. Because while cheating may be explainable, it is never justifiable. Top 3 Takeaways: The shocking truth about justification: Cheaters don't give reasons—they invent justifications to make themselves feel okay about doing something they know is wrong. This changes everything about how you interpret what he says. Cheating as numbing, not desire: Affairs aren't about attraction or sex. They're often about avoiding failure, loneliness, or unresolved pain. Cheating is a maladaptive coping strategy—another way to not feel. The delusional mindset revealed: From childhood trauma to fragile egos, many cheating men live in a self-created fantasy world where betrayal feels “necessary.” Understanding this breaks the shame cycle and helps you reclaim your power.

Astrology forecast for August 24-30Chris and Almie talk about Mercury finally leaving its post-retrograde show on Monday, August 25th. Starting on the 25th, Mercury will move past the point it was on July 17th when the retrograde first began. Hopefully this week you'll will start to see some forward movement in areas that have been stalled since mid-July! They also discuss Venus entering the sign of  spotlight-seeking Leo on Monday, August 25th. While Venus travels through extroverted Leo until September 19th, expect some additional passion and fire in your relationships. And on a personal level, feel free to go out there and strut your stuff as Leo loves an audience! And they go over the busy week Venus will have as it makes connections with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. In “Ask a Scorpio,” Chris plays a trivia game with Almie where she needs to guess the names of famous Virgos.

From Wounded to Wise: The Map That Transforms Betrayal Pain into Lasting Peace. ““It's not about the information. It's about the transformation.”.” — Lora Cheadle So many women in betrayal recovery have been given pieces of the healing puzzle — therapy, books, workshops, somatic work — and yet months or years later, they're still not whole. Why? Because without the map that shows how the pieces fit together, the healing never fully integrates. In this episode, Lora reveals the FLAUNT!® Framework — a clinically backed, soul-deep integration system that moves you from wound to wisdom. Through her own story and years of client experience, she shows why piece-by-piece healing leaves you stuck, how integration changes everything, and why you need the image on the puzzle box before you can truly recover. If you're ready for clarity, confidence, and unshakable peace, this episode is your turning point. Top 3 Takeaways: Pieces Without the Map Keep You Stuck – Healing tools help, but without a unifying framework to integrate them, you'll keep looping in triggers, overthinking, and self-doubt. Integration = Transformation – It's not the information you've gathered that changes you — it's weaving it together so it becomes embodied wisdom. FLAUNT!® Is the Map – This five-step framework (Find Your Fetish, Laugh Out Loud, Accept Unconditionally, Navigate the Negative, Trust in Your Truth) guides you from devastation to sovereignty, joy, and peace.

Do you feel fear? Relief? Confusion? In this powerful conversation, divorce and relationship coach Karen McMahon of Journey Beyond Divorce joins me to talk candidly about the emotional, legal, and practical realities of divorce—especially if your split involves high conflict.

Top 3 Takeaways: Boundaries Are Yours to Hold – Setting them isn't enough; the power comes from upholding them, even when the other person pushes back.

Can we trace where Western Civilization went wrong to the 1400s when Filippo Brunelleschi, known for his brazen duomo designs in Florence, Italy, invented the linear perspective that dominated Art, Architecture, and city planning ever since? This almost-photographic perspective of the world around us translated to cities and their people being separated from nature, and the ecosystems that nourish us all, at least that signifies an auspicious moment in history. Some European painters in the early 20th Century, like Picasso and Matisse, challenged this linear perspective and were called Fauves or wild beasts. But do we need more wild beasts, rather than just bad-boy painters from Europe, to overcome these linear perspective machines and heal our relationship with the Earth? On this show recorded in 2014, Shana Nys Dambrot [http://sndx.net], art historian and culture writer from Los Angeles' vibrant art scene, guides us on a romp through these European art movements to trace how we got here and where we are headed. We delve into the question of how environmental and climate activism intertwine with artistic expression. Shana engages in a thought-provoking conversation about the role of art in shaping a better world, exploring the dreams and tangible enactments of new realities. Join us as we confront the big questions: Whose dream? Whose world? What does 'better' truly mean? This episode is not just an exploration of art, but a challenge to the status quo and an invitation to envision a future that includes everyone.

Pissed, Passive, or Potent? How to Stay in Your Power When Everything Falls Apart "Potency is standing in the fire and choosing not to burn yourself." What do a travel nightmare, a betrayal, and a broken plan all have in common? They each offer you a choice—not just in how you respond, but in who you choose to be. In this raw and real episode, Lora shares the story of a 24-hour travel meltdown and the powerful metaphor it became for life after infidelity. Discover how to navigate the 3 P's: Pissed (when you spiral in blame and frustration) Passive (when you check out or freeze) Potent (when you own your power and act in alignment with who you really are) Because healing isn't about pretending everything is fine. It's about staying present, breathing through the fire—and choosing not to burn everything down. Whether you're deep in betrayal recovery, coping with change, or just having a rough day, this episode will remind you: You are more powerful than your circumstances.

Betrayal Uncovers the Truth: Because the Truth Shall Set You Free "Betrayal is a sacred initiation. It uncovers the truth—and the truth sets you free." Betrayal feels like the end. But what if it's the beginning? What if the devastation you're living through is actually the doorway to your deepest truth, your rawest power, and a joy you never knew was possible? This special July 4th episode is a bold celebration of freedom—the kind of freedom that comes not from fireworks or flags, but from shedding everything that was never truly yours. Because when betrayal cracks your life open, it also exposes what was always true beneath the surface. Betrayal recovery coach and advocate Lora Cheadle reveals why infidelity isn't just a relational rupture—it's a soul-level awakening. And how, when you stop fighting the story and start listening to the truth it reveals, you gain something no one can ever take from you again: unshakable sovereignty, radiant joy, and the power to create your life on your own terms. Book Your Introductory Session Here: https://calendly.com/loras-schedule/first-time-session TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS: Betrayal is a sacred initiation that strips away illusion. It forces you to confront the truth about your relationship, your past, and your deepest self. The pain is a portal. When you stop resisting what happened and start listening to what it's trying to reveal, you begin to rise. Freedom isn't about forgiveness—it's about remembering who you were before you forgot your worth. And rebuilding your life from that place of unshakable self-trust.

“He may have broken your heart—but only you get to decide if he breaks your confidence.” You thought you were confident—until betrayal shattered everything you thought you knew about yourself. In this raw and powerful episode, betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle dismantles the myth that confidence comes from being chosen, loved, or successful. Real confidence, she reveals, is born in the aftermath of destruction. It's Naked Self-Worth®—the kind that remains when everything else is stripped away. If you've ever questioned your value, your beauty, or your future after infidelity, this episode will remind you that your worth was never lost. It was buried. And now it's time to uncover it—for good.

Naked Self-Worth® means reclaiming your power without needing validation from anyone else. It's the kind of confidence no one can take away. The real you—the joyful, grounded, radiant woman—was never lost. She's been waiting underneath the roles, waiting for you to choose her again.   LOVE THE SHOW?

"You don't earn trust back by demanding it. You earn it by becoming trustworthy.” When infidelity shatters a relationship, it's not just about broken promises—it's about broken safety. This episode is a direct message to the betraying partner: If you cheated and still want to save the relationship, here's what your partner actually needs from you. Betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle goes deep into the emotional, psychological, and spiritual terrain of healing after betrayal. With honesty, compassion, and no sugarcoating, she breaks down how to hold space for your partner's pain without spiraling into shame, how to rebuild safety through steady presence—not perfect words—and how to become the kind of partner who is safe to love again. Whether you're the betrayer seeking redemption, or the betrayed partner hoping your spouse will finally get it—this episode lays it all bare. Book Your Men's Session Here: https://calendly.com/loras-schedule/men-s-session   TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS: Shame isn't healing—it's hiding. Collapsing into shame makes your partner carry both their pain and yours. Stay grounded in guilt, not paralyzed by shame. Your presence is the repair. You don't have to say the perfect thing. You just have to stay when it gets hard—and keep showing up. There is no timeline for their healing. Rushing your partner or asking “Aren't you over it yet?” delays trust. Healing takes the time it takes. LOVE THE SHOW? TAKE THE NEXT STEP Don't just listen—start healing.
