Everyone talks about the crisis. Everyone talks about the breakthrough. But nobody talks enough about what happens in between — the messy middle of healing.
In this solo episode, we are sitting down together to talk honestly about the messy middle of betrayal recovery. What it actually is, why it is so disorienting, what traps to avoid when you are in it, and what to actually do to keep moving forward without white-knuckling your way through.
If you have ever felt like you were failing at healing — this episode is for you.

Most women healing from betrayal are told to think their way through it. But what if finding yourself again requires going somewhere deeper than your mind?
In this episode, host Halle Roderick sits down with embodied integration coach Natasha Ramlall to explore why healing from betrayal is just as much a somatic process as it is a mental or emotional one — and what that actually looks like in practice.
If you've been working hard to heal but still feel disconnected from yourself, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it.
Connect with Natasha Ramlall: Natasha works with high-functioning, capable women who feel the ground cracking beneath them after a difficult life transition or an awakening to a mismatched life.
As an Embodied Integration Coach, she guides you back into a deeper experience of your human-ness to heal, expand and evolve from an Identity Rupture and navigate the space between who you were and who you are becoming.

Have you ever set a boundary — or tried to — and immediately felt like you were doing something wrong? You are not alone. And here's what most people don't tell you: that discomfort is not a sign you're doing it wrong. It's a sign you're doing something new.
In this episode, we're digging into what boundaries actually are at a body level — not just as a concept to understand, but as something you can feel.
We also talk about the difference between what is yours to carry and what belongs to someone else — and why putting down what isn't yours is one of the most loving things you can do for your own healing.

What does it look like when a mother and daughter do the healing work together? In this special episode, I'm joined by my daughters to pull back the curtain on the Becoming Together Mother-Daughter Retreat, an intimate gathering just outside Sedona, Arizona, designed for moms and daughters who are both actively doing their personal growth work and ready to bring it into their relationship.
We talk about the heart behind this retreat, who it's truly for (and who it isn't), what makes it different from a conference or a girls' trip, and why the stunning off-the-grid location near Sedona, AZ is part of the healing itself. Plus, my girls weigh in on all of it.
If you're a mother or daughter who feels the pull to go deeper in your relationship while honoring your own becoming — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked patterns in betrayal trauma recovery: the subtle but powerful difference between caring and controlling.
This episode unpacks the trauma-driven urge to manage a partner’s recovery after betrayal — and why trying to control the conditions of someone else’s healing can quietly disconnect you from your own.
If you’ve been exhausted trying to hold everything together, soften someone else’s discomfort, or make sure healing happens “the right way,” this episode offers a powerful invitation back to your own clarity, boundaries, and emotional sovereignty.

This question has the power to change how you show up in your healing:
"What message does the way I show up in my relationship give to my husband about the status of the relationship?"
If you're healing from betrayal trauma, the honest answer to that question might be uncomfortable.
In this episode of Rooted and Rising Healing, we're talking about one of the most important — and most misunderstood — pieces of betrayal recovery: learning to say what you mean, mean what you say, and actually follow through.
This is not about being harsh or issuing ultimatums. This is about becoming a woman whose words carry the full weight of her truth.
If you've ever said something in anger and not followed through, stayed quiet while resentment built, or wondered why he doesn't take your words seriously — this episode will help you understand what's happening and what to do about it.
This episode is for you if:
You find yourself saying things out of fear or anger but not following through
You've been suppressing your pain to keep the peace — and you're exhausted
You confuse boundaries with rules and feel powerless when he doesn't follow them
You're ready to stop reacting and start responding from a regulated, grounded place
You want to rebuild your voice, your self-trust, and your sense of personal power after betrayal

If you’ve been telling yourself “I should be able to handle this on my own”… this episode is for you.
In betrayal trauma, it’s incredibly common to resist getting help—even when you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and hurting. You may feel like asking for support means you’re weak… or that no one will truly understand what you’re going through.
But what if that resistance isn’t strength… What if it’s protection?
In this episode, we’re gently unpacking the real reasons so many women struggle to seek support after betrayal—and what it’s costing you to keep doing it alone.
You’ll begin to understand:
Why your nervous system may resist help
The hidden beliefs that keep you stuck in isolation
How people-pleasing and over-functioning show up in healing
And why getting support is actually a powerful step toward reclaiming yourself
You don’t have to do this alone.

What does hiking the Grand Canyon have to do with healing after betrayal? Everything. This week, your host takes you on a trail and shares the raw, powerful lessons mother nature herself taught her about recovery — and why your healing journey is less like a destination and more like the most important hike of your life.
After spending the weekend hiking the Grand Canyon, your host, Hali Roderick, couldn't stop drawing parallels between the trail and the healing journey. From the fierceness of the canyon itself to the woman who simply said "I'm right here, Mia" — this episode is full of truth, tenderness, and trail wisdom that will meet you exactly where you are today.

What if separation wasn’t the end of your marriage… but the beginning of safety?
In this episode of the Rooted & Rising Healing Podcast, we’re talking about one of the most fear-filled topics for betrayed partners:
Separation. Space. Taking time apart.
For many women, even hearing the word separation triggers panic:
Does this mean we’re done?
Is divorce inevitable?
If I ask for space, am I giving up?
Will he ever come back if he leaves?
Today, we slow this conversation down through a trauma-informed lens and explore why space is not always abandonment.
Sometimes…
Space is safety. And safety is where healing begins.

There’s a question I hear from betrayed women all the time:
“Why can’t I just think my way out of this?”
“I understand what happened.”
“I know it wasn’t my fault.”
“I’ve talked about it a hundred times…”
So why does it still hurt?
Why do you still feel triggered? Why does your body still feel like it’s living in the aftermath?
In this episode of the Rooted & Rising Healing Podcast, we explore one of the most important truths of betrayal recovery:
Betrayal trauma is not just an emotional wound. It is a nervous system wound.
Trauma doesn’t live only in the story.
Trauma lives in the body.
