Why Do People Cheat? — Betrayal Trauma, Psychology & the Brain

In this episode of Becoming Her, Unfiltered, I share my personal experience with infidelity and betrayal, and break down why cheating happens through psychology and neuroscience. We explore how betrayal affects the brain, why self-blame shows up.

This episode is not about excusing cheating.

It’s about understanding betrayal so you can stop internalizing it and begin healing

If you’ve ever asked “Why wasn’t I enough?” or “How did I not know?” — this episode is for you.
