Longing After Betrayal: Grieving the Future You Thought You’d Have
Longing After Betrayal: Grieving the Future You Thought You’d Have
There’s a very specific ache that shows up after betrayal—especially during the holidays. It’s not just missing a person. It’s grieving the future you thought you were building…and the version of you who once believed in it. In this episode, we talk about longing—not as a problem to fix, but as a signal of healing, a doorway back to self-trust, and a gentle bridge into what’s next.
Longing after betrayal can feel confusing and even scary—because wanting, hoping, and believing once led to pain. But longing isn’t weakness, and it doesn’t mean you’re stuck or that you “made a mistake.” In this episode, Lora Cheadle explores why the holidays amplify longing (hello, Hallmark movies), why longing is often grief and love intertwined, and how longing can become a powerful compass back to self-trust. You’ll learn how to honor the future you lost without rushing into a new one, and you’ll be guided through a presencing practice and intentional silence to help regulate your nervous system and listen inward. Plus, Lora invites you into her $26 Vision Board Workshop on January 10—a gentle, guided container to help you reconnect with what still matters and shape what comes next without pressure.

“Longing isn’t asking you to go backwards—it’s asking you to acknowledge how far you’ve come.”
