All life crises are not created equal. Betrayal is unique in the way it shatters the foundation of our relationships and sense of safety and security. After all, when the people you trust the most prove untrustworthy, who do you trust? And according to Dr. Debi Silber, time doesn't necessarily heal the wounds of betrayal unless we actively rebuild our sense of belonging, confidence and worthiness.

Debi is the holistic psychologist and personal development expert behind The Post-Betrayal Transformation (PBT) Institute, a platform and training program dedicated to helping people heal from a betrayal. She is also the author of the bestseller The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind and Life After a Life Crisis. Debi has shared the groundbreaking discoveries of her PhD study around how women experience betrayal on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show and the TEDx stage, and she is on a mission to help women move past their betrayals—once and for all.

On this episode, Debi joins Emerald to explain how her study of betrayal was inspired by personal experience and share her vision to certify a host of PBT practitioners around the globe. She walks us through the three discoveries that emerged from her research on what differentiates betrayal from other life crises and describes how we can regain our sense of control in its aftermath. Listen in to understand why so many of us get stuck in what Debi calls the survival stage of healing and learn how to shed your bitterness, improve your health, and stage your own post-betrayal transformation!

How Debi's personal experience inspired her study of betrayal

Debi's vision to expand the global number of PBT practitioners

The three discoveries that emerged from Debi's research

Rescue Me: How to Save Yourself (And Your Sanity) When Things Go Wrong by Annette Comer

As women, we're conditioned to suppress ourselves in order to keep the peace. For many of us, this means we either compromise our own values to avoid standing out OR we sever ties with people completely. But what if there's a way to honor the community you're a part of AND walk in your own truth? What if we CAN create mutually beneficial relationships where we show up as ourselves?

Lori Andrus is creator of The Crystal Shaman School, a platform that weaves the transformational practices of ceremony, shamanic journeying, divination and sacred creation to awaken individuals to their true inner brilliance. A practitioner of crystal shamanism and soulful traveler, Lori artfully blends ancient wisdom traditions with crystal insight, empowering heart-centered individuals to create vibrant, joy-filled and deeply rooted lives.

The decision to divorce is a difficult one, especially if young children are involved. No parent wants to miss half of their kiddo's childhood. But how do we learn to co-parent in a positive way? What strategies can divorcing couples use to create a happy life for their child AND themselves?

Co-parenting expert Teresa Harlow is the author of Happily Divorced: A Journey Through Divorce & Co-Parenting by the Golden Rule. She acquired her expertise through firsthand experience, and today, she is committed to making positive co-parenting the expectation for divorced parents—rather than the exception. A well-known speaker and blogger in the co-parenting space, Teresa advocates for using the Golden Rule to improve every one of our relationships, and she believes that the painful decision to divorce does not have to mean a pain-filled life.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Teresa joins Emerald to share the powerful moment when she was called to find a different way to co-parent and maximize the time both she and her ex spent with their child. She explains how she shifted the way she communicates with her ex-husband and why a similar value system is key in Golden Rule co-parenting. Listen in for insight on demonstrating the kindness you'd like to receive and get Teresa's advice around letting your ex know when you bring a new adult into your child's life.

Happily Divorced: A Journey Through Divorce & Co-Parenting by the Golden Rule by Teresa Harlow with Bob and Ian Harlow

National Publicity Summit

"So often people look at money, they look at their business as the Source of them, not a resource. When you make it the Source, then everything has this weird, secret agenda underneath it. When you're operating from the consciousness of your soul, the consciousness of your business soul … you make every decision based on the knowing that you're whole and complete, so that is reflected back in everything that you do."

Jennifer Urezzio is the Founder and Lead Visionary behind Soul Language, a platform that provides guidance for understanding our true nature and tools for accessing deeper levels of awareness. Jennifer specializes in helping people connect to themselves, each other and the Divine, and her insight is embraced by top healers, lifestyle coaches and C-suite executives all over the world. Jennifer is committed to helping people recognize their purpose and live from a place of power and truth.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Jennifer joins Emerald to share her experience of being called to create Soul Language and explain why being grounded in your own knowing is key to birthing a new paradigm. Jennifer describes what gave her the courage to say YES to her vision and how knowing your soul language helps you channel creative energy in a purposeful way. Listen in to understand why it's dangerous to view your business as Source rather than a resource and learn how to make decisions from the knowing that you're already whole and complete.
