Episode 10 | Leave, Grieve, and Pivot for Peace: Navigating Betrayal & Broken Friendships

Betrayal hits differently when it comes from someone you trusted.

In this deeply personal episode, I share a story about one of the most painful betrayals I’ve ever experienced, when a close friend I considered family spoke behind my back, tearing apart our friendship in an instant. But it’s not just about the pain of losing someone you love, it’s about what happens next.

How do you move forward when betrayal blindsides you?
How do you grieve the loss of a friendship that ended without warning?
And how do you ever trust again?

In this episode, we dive into:
💔 Why betrayal from friends cuts deeper than we expect
💡 The “Leave & Grieve” method, how to release pain and find peace
🔄 How to stop carrying the weight of broken relationships and focus on healing
💛 Practical steps to trust again and enjoy people without fearing the end
📝 Why journaling can be one of the most powerful tools in healing betrayal

“You don’t have to chase closure. You don’t need their apology. You need peace—and you can create that for yourself.”

If you’ve been blindsided by a friend, family member, or even a partner, this episode is your guide to leaving the pain behind, grieving what was lost, and pivoting forward to peace and freedom.
