Love changes after betrayal.Not just how you love someone else, but how you love yourself. In this episode, I’m talking honestly about what love looks like now after betrayal, why love feels so confusing, how trust shifts and what it means to choose yourself when everything you believed about love falls apart. We explore the push and pull of missing someone you no longer trust, the loss of identity that comes with betrayal and how loving yourself first can feel selfish at first, especially as a mom, but becomes necessary for healing. This episode is for women who feel like they were left behind, not just by someone else, but by themselves. It’s for the woman who is surviving heartbreak while still showing up for her kids, questioning her instincts and trying to find her footing again. We also talk about redefining strength, protecting your peace, setting boundaries and learning that love should not require begging, proving or abandoning yourself. If love feels different now, you’re not broken.You’re responding to trauma you never asked for. You were never broken.You were bent.And you are slowly finding your way back to yourself.
