When a marriage ends, the person who makes the decision to get divorced matters. The person who makes the decision gets an emotional head start and has more information ahead of the other partner.

Overcoming The Betrayal Of Divorce With Lora Cheadle Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

When people think about the betrayal of divorce, they often think of infidelity. But the betrayal is about so much more. It’s about feeling betrayed by ideals we were raised with including:

That marriage is forever
That it will be our happily ever after
That we’ll have a perfectly happy family
The idea of what even counts as family
Our roles as wife and mother.

Being betrayed by these ideals can leave us feeling angry and resentful. And this can hold us back from realizing our full potential.

In this episode of the Divorce & Other Things You Can Handle podcast, I speak with Lora Cheadle. Lora is a former divorce attorney and current divorce recovery coach. She is also a TEDx speaker and a life & leadership coach. She shows women how to break free from burnout, betrayal, and to live their lives to the fullest potential.
