    Soul Deep in Betrayal with Jessica Porras: The Invitation Series

    At first glance, this conversation is about one chapter from The Invitation. But as Jessica and Elizabeth sat down to talk, it quickly became about so much more. Together, they explore relationships, marriage, parenting, faith, honesty, boundaries, self-worth, identity, and the choices that shape our lives. Every time the conversation seemed to wander in a different direction, it somehow found its way back to the same place. Because that’s what this chapter is really about. It’s the foundation beneath so many of our relationships, our decisions, and the stories we tell ourselves. It’s about integrity. It’s about the subtle ways we betray ourselves while trying to avoid disappointing others, and how that one choice quietly ripples into every area of our lives. Although they came into the conversation with an outline and pages of notes, they barely looked at them. And that’s what made this episode so special. Rather than feeling like an interview or a lesson, this episode unfolds like two friends sitting across from one another, wrestling with ideas neither of them claims to have fully figured out. Honest, thoughtful, and at times unexpected, the conversation is a reminder that some of the most meaningful insights aren’t planned—they’re discovered together. Whether you’ve experienced betrayal, wrestled with difficult choices, or simply found yourself questioning what it means to remain true to yourself, this conversation is an invitation to reflect with curiosity rather than certainty.

    In this episode of Soul Deep In, host Elizabeth Ana welcomes returning guest Michelle Becerra for a vulnerable and honest conversation inspired by the chapter The Fear from The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. Michelle shares her personal reflections on love, identity, and the courage it takes to be seen, even when it means risking looking like “the fool.” As a 30-year-old newlywed navigating the complexities of military life and a recent adult autism diagnosis, Michelle offers powerful insight into how fear shows up in our relationships, our self-perception, and our deepest desires. Together, she and Elizabeth explore: The fear of intimacy and emotional exposure How protective patterns can persist, even in safe relationships What it means to be “the fool” in love, and still choose it anyway The role of neurodivergence and self-awareness in healing Michelle also opens up about her late diagnosis and how organizations like Prosper Health, which accepts insurance, can support others who are seeking answers and clarity around autism. This is a conversation for anyone learning to let go, learning to love again, or learning to trust the version of themselves that dares to want more. 🌀 Follow Michelle: ⁠@Michbgar 🤍 Stay connected with Elizabeth: 📲 Follow Elizabeth Ana: ⁠⁠⁠@itselizabethana⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Follow Souldeepin: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@souldeepin⁠⁠⁠ 🌐 Learn more or book a ⁠⁠⁠complimentary consultation⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Elizabeth Ana: By Oriah “Mountain Dreamer” House from her book, THE INVITATION © 1999.
