Why does healing after betrayal feel so exhausting? Why does it take so long? In this episode, I unpack what’s really underneath the question, “Why is this so hard?”—and why trying to rush your healing is actually working against you.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be over this by now” or “Maybe this is just how life is now,” I speak directly to that part of you. I’ll help you reframe hard not as a sign that you're broken—but as a normal part of the healing journey after betrayal, abuse, and divorce. We’ll talk about grief, trauma responses, and the difference between acceptance and apathy, so you can stop bracing for the next hard thing and start reclaiming your agency.

This episode is your reminder: you're not failing at healing—you're just human.
