Why is it important to separate your identity from your experience

after you’ve been scammed? In this episode, Tamara Michèle sits down

with Deb Andrew a Life and Wellness Coach and co-founder of Altruistic

Coach. They explore how emotional recovery, mindset shifts, and

self-compassion are essential tools in rebuilding confidence and staying

resilient against future scams.

They unpack how scammers exploit not just your trust but your

identity—using urgency, fear, and hope to break down your defenses. Deb

explains why separating your self-worth from your experience is crucial

after being scammed, and how re-framing failure can protect you from

repeat victimization.

This episode isn’t just for scam victims—it’s for anyone who wants to

become more emotionally resilient in an ever-changing world. You’ll

learn how to spot emotional manipulation, rebuild confidence, and

support loved ones who may be too ashamed to speak up.

Learn How:

✅ Scammers exploit emotional vulnerability, not intelligence

✅ Mental fitness helps you respond, not just react, after being

scammed

✅ Shame can keep victims silent—and how to break that silence

✅ Re-framing your experience helps protect your identity and

self-worth

✅ Empathy builds resilience and helps others heal too

✅ Talking openly about scams reduces stigma and increases awareness
