What do you do when the life you were building with someone turns out to be an illusion? When the love you believed in crumbles in an instant. And all that’s left is dust?

This episode is for the moments after the betrayal.
 For when your heart is shattered but you're being told to "just move on."
 For when you’re still carrying the weight of dreams that will never happen. And wondering why you're the one left with all the pain.

Najwa walks you through the reality of betrayal. Not just the event, but the after. The instability. The shame. The self-blame. The hiding. And most importantly… the healing.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth because someone lied to you, cheated on you, or shattered your trust, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
