The Betrayal Series Day 1: Blindsided by Betrayal: How I Missed the Signs—and the Radical Self-Forgiveness That Finally Set Me Free


Listen Later

The signs were there.

The late-night disappearances.
The mystery phone calls.
The way the energy shifted the moment I entered the room.

My gut was screaming that something wasn’t right… but I silenced it.
I believed his words over my body’s wisdom.
And when the truth finally came out?

I was shattered. 
And furious with myself for not seeing it sooner.

In this opening episode of The Sacred Reclamation Series: The Betrayal Edition happening here on The Femme Cast, I take you deep into the question that haunts so many women after betrayal:

How could I not have seen it?
And when I finally did… why didn’t I leave?

I was blindsided. Broken.
It felt like the ground had been ripped out from under me.
But what I didn’t know at the time was that this heartbreak—this betrayal—would become the catalyst for the most profound transformation of my life.

It cracked me open.
Pulled me out of the fog.
And launched me into my deepest reclamation.

What started as devastation became a spiritual awakening—
And ultimately, a return to radical self-trust.

But first? I had to forgive myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

🎤 The quiet signs I ignored—and why I ignored them

🎤 How self-abandonment disguised itself as loyalty

🎤 The nuanced truth about forgiveness (hint: it doesn’t mean reconciliation)

🎤 Why forgiving yourself is often harder than forgiving the one who hurt you

🎤 How betrayal forced me to stop outsourcing my intuition and finally trust my own knowing

🎤 The moment I stopped asking, “Why is this happening to me?” and started asking, “How is this happening for me?”

This isn’t about blame.
It’s about honoring the version of you who stayed—
And loving her fiercely.
Because she was doing the best she could with what she knew.

And when you're ready, healing doesn't begin with forgiveness.
It begins with reclamation.

Your power.
Your truth.
Your self-trust.

This episode sets the tone for the full 5-part healing journey inside The Sacred Reclamation Series: The Betrayal Edition.

If you’ve ever felt ashamed for not seeing the truth sooner…
If you’ve struggled to forgive yourself for staying too long…

This is your invitation to finally set yourself free.

🎧 Listen now and join me tomorrow for Day 2: The Rage You’re Afraid to Feel.

You’re not alone—and your healing starts here.

Ready to stop abandoning yourself for love? To finally rise from the wreckage of betrayal and become the woman you were born to be?
