Most women think they’re “taking control,” but what they’re actually doing is managing chaos from a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. Control is a trauma response. Direction is a soul response. And learning the difference changes everything about your healing, your power, and your relationships.
In this powerful solo episode, Lora breaks down the difference between controlling your life and directing your life—a distinction that is foundational to healing after infidelity or any form of deep emotional betrayal.
You’ll hear why control feels so intoxicating at first, why it becomes exhausting over time, and how it ultimately keeps you stuck in fear, hypervigilance, and over-functioning. Lora then guides you into the energetics of self-direction—what she calls a “soul response”—where clarity, empowerment, and healthy masculine/feminine balance begin to return.
Through personal stories, cultural context, nervous-system wisdom, and practical tools, Lora shows you how to stop managing the chaos and start leading your life again. If you’ve been stuck in fear, bracing, or trying to “fix” your partner, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Control is always rooted in fear.
Over-monitoring, over-planning, over-functioning, micromanaging your partner’s behavior—all of it is a trauma response from a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. It’s not a moral failing; it’s biology.
- Self-direction is grounded clarity and expansion.
Instead of reacting, you choose your next right step based on who you want to be. You lead your life with healthy masculine structure and healthy feminine flow, instead of trying to force outcomes.
- The Control-to-Direction Test Will Change Everything.
Ask yourself:
- Am I trying to control a person or outcome?
- Am I acting from fear or from clarity?
- Does this behavior feel braced or grounded?
- Is this action about who I want to be, or about preventing something from happening?
These four questions reveal your truth instantly.

You’re not a monster because you cheated— you are a hurting human who never learned how to feel, name, and heal what’s going on inside. And understanding that and forgiving yourself is the key to rebuilding trust, whether you stay together or not.
This episode is a love letter—and a challenge—to the betrayer. Whether you’re the one who cheated or you’re the partner trying to understand how the person you love could hurt you so deeply, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on inside the betraying partner. Lora shares honest, vulnerable insights from walking beside her husband through his infidelity, exploring why most men genuinely don’t know why they cheated, how shame and unresolved boyhood wounds fuel destructive coping, and what it actually takes to become trustworthy again. You’ll learn how to move from “I’m a monster” to “I made a devastating mistake—and I’m willing to change,” so both of you can stop walking on eggshells and start moving toward clarity, accountability, and healing.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Why “I don’t know why I did it” is often true—just not the whole truth.
Most betrayers genuinely don’t know the root cause of their cheating because they were never taught to identify or communicate their emotions. Until they can name what they’re feeling—rejection, shame, emasculation, grief—cheating will continue to be a maladaptive coping mechanism, not a “character flaw problem” to shame away. - Your actions don’t define your core—but your accountability does.
There’s a profound difference between being a cheater and having cheated. Lora breaks down how to step out of the “cheater” identity and back into integrity through nervous system regulation, consistent follow-through (“do what you say you’ll do”), and small, repeated acts of honor that show you’re becoming truly trustworthy again. - Healing requires feeling it all—without fleeing, fixing, or deflecting.
From the sticky note that said “Feel it all” to simple somatic practices like standing in your integrity, brushing off old attachments, and speaking from your gut instead of your head, you’ll learn concrete ways to sit with your own shame, regret, and pain and hold space for your partner’s rage and grief—without collapsing, defending, or running away.

From Performance to Presence: The Holiday Shift That Brings Back the Magic (Especially After Betrayal)
What would it be like to actually feel the moment you’re working so hard to create?
In this powerful pre-Thanksgiving episode, Lora gets real about the way so many women — especially those healing after betrayal — kill themselves trying to stage the “perfect” holiday, only to feel numb, resentful, or empty inside.
From Hallmark-movie expectations to Norman Rockwell Thanksgivings, Lora unpacks how performance, perfectionism, control, and emotional over-functioning have been culturally trained into women… and how betrayal often ramps those patterns up even more.
You’ll learn why performance is actually a nervous system survival response (fawn/fix), how it quietly steals your joy, and what it means to shift into deep, grounded presence — so you can finally experience the love, connection, and magic you’ve been trying to manufacture for everyone else.
Just in time for the holidays, this episode is your invitation to stop chasing the moment… and start feeling it.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Performance is how we manage love when we no longer trust it.
After betrayal and in dysfunctional family systems, performance becomes protection. We over-do, over-give, and over-function to cover our fear that love, safety, or support won’t be there. - Performance is a nervous system response — presence is where the healing happens.
Beyond fight/flight/freeze, Lora explains the “fourth F”: fawn/fix. That impulse to keep everyone happy, keep everything perfect, and pretend you’re fine is actually a trauma response that blocks creativity, intimacy, and joy. - Your joy was never stolen by betrayal — it was stolen by the patterns you learned before it.
Betrayal doesn’t destroy your joy; it uncovers the truth about all the ways you’ve been stealing it from yourself through scripts, shoulds, and chronic performance. Presence is how you get it back.
Favorite Quotes
- “The harder we try to create the perfect experience, the further we drift from actually feeling it.”
- “Performance is how we manage love when we no longer trust it.”
- “Presence is our soul’s way of being felt.”
- “Your joy has not been stolen by betrayal. Betrayal simply uncovers the truth about the behaviors that were stealing your joy long before.”

After betrayal, you’re left asking impossible questions: Was it an addiction? A choice? Can it change? This powerful conversation with sexologist and social worker Cheryl Camarillo brings clarity, compassion, and grounded hope. Together, Lora and Cheryl unpack how to tell the difference between sexual addiction and acting-out behavior, what integrity abuse really means, and why empathy—not shame—is the foundation for healing.
You’ll learn how to assess whether reconciliation is truly possible, what real accountability looks like, and why safety, trust, and emotional regulation must come before intimacy. Whether you stay or go, this episode will help you understand the path forward so you can heal on every level—mind, body, and soul.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Addiction vs. Acting Out: Understanding the root of your partner’s behavior determines the right kind of help and prevents further harm.
- Integrity Abuse & Entitlement: When promises and empathy break down, healing can’t begin until accountability replaces defensiveness.
- Safety Before Sex: Real intimacy rebuilds through empathy, co-regulation, and emotional safety—not through “hysterical bonding” or performance.
Favorite Quote
“You don’t go back to who you were before betrayal — you become someone wiser, clearer, and more grounded in truth.”

Hope After Betrayal: Rebuilding When Everything You Believed In Falls Apart
“We don’t always realize it, but one of the hardest parts of betrayal isn’t the lies or even the loss of love—it’s the shattering of hope.” — Lora Cheadle
In this intimate episode, Lora reframes hope as the bridge between devastation and a life rebuilt—not toxic positivity or waiting for someone else to change, but grounded, embodied hope rooted in your choices, compassion, meaning, and connection. You’ll hear the four stages of hope after betrayal (from false hope to grounded hope), how to spot the difference between wishful thinking and true hope, and five practical ways to bring hope back online in your body and your life—no matter which path your relationship takes.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Name the real injury: The deepest wound of betrayal isn’t just the loss of trust—it’s the death of hope. Feeling hopeless is a nervous-system protection, not a personal failure.
- True hope vs. toxic hope: Toxic hope waits for someone else to change; true hope trusts you to create peace, safety, and joy again—regardless of the outcome.
- From flicker to foundation: Rebuild hope through Connection, Choice, Compassion, Meaning/Faith, and Embodiment—small, consistent actions that restore agency and let your body feel hopeful again.

“What if feeling like yourself again isn’t about fixing anything—but releasing what isn’t you anymore?” — Lora Cheadle
Healing isn’t supposed to be another job. In this soul-stirring solo episode, Lora Cheadle reframes recovery from betrayal, showing why focusing on fixing what’s broken only keeps you stuck in the cycle of pain.
Instead of “working on” yourself, what if you started creating yourself — not the perfect version, but the real one?
Through the Alter Ego Embodiment Exercise from her book FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy & Spiritual Self, Lora invites you to use art, imagination, and movement to rediscover who you are beneath the masks, labels, and expectations. This isn’t about performing for others — it’s about performing to stop performing. You’ll practice being the version of you who already feels peaceful, playful, and free, until it becomes second nature.
Whether you’re newly betrayed or years past discovery day, this episode will help you exhale, unclench, and reconnect with the woman inside who’s ready to feel good again — not someday, but now.
You’ll Learn
- Why focusing on “healing” often leads to more healing work (and not more freedom)
- How to shift from fixing the past to creating your future self
- The safe, playful power of alter ego embodiment to reclaim confidence and joy
- How to integrate your shadow and higher self into a Statement of Divine Empowerment
- Why somatic release through dance and movement (like Yogalesque®) works better than thinking your way through pain

“You can have a grudge or you can have freedom—but you can’t have both.”
— Lora Cheadle
When betrayal detonates your life, “It’s not fair” becomes the drumbeat in your head. In this intimate coaching session with “Jane,” we walk the real path from righteous anger and blame to sovereignty: naming what’s actually happening (mental/physical exhaustion), discerning what you can control (boundaries, micro-choices), and choosing peace over the power of the grudge. If you’ve been holding the story together for your kids, your home, and everyone else—while seething at the unequal load—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and offer a way through.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Grudge vs. Freedom: You can have a grudge or you can have freedom—but not both. The shift begins by noticing when you’re in blame and choosing peace on purpose.
- Name the Real Problem: Trade the story (“This is all his fault”) for the truth in your body (“This is mentally and physically exhausting”). Naming what is puts your power where your feet are.
- Micro-Choices Restore Agency: One firm “no” a week and one nourishing “yes” a week for six weeks changes your nervous system, your schedule, and your sense of self.
Episode Highlights
- Why anger is sometimes a functional fuel—and how to thank it without letting it drive.
- The fairness myth: differentiating external unfairness from creating internal justice.
- “Give him the victim seat.” If someone must occupy it, let it be him—so you can choose the seat of peace.
- Language swap that changes everything: from “I have to” → “I am choosing to.”
- A simple boundary: “Please stop texting me.” Why this one sentence matters for your nervous system and your future.

“Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.”
— Lora Cheadle
“Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it’s messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline.
If you’ve ever wondered, Why don’t I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don’t approve. You’ll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can’t, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you’re a high-achieving woman who’s tired of doing it all alone.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You’ll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn’t mean you’re failing.
- Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won’t happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change.
- You’re allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people’s opinions—defines your direction.
Episode Highlights
- The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed.
- From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes.
- Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body’s intelligence can be heard.
- Community as medicine: when you can’t hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you.
- Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what’s next.
Resources Mentioned
- Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins)
- Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends
- Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding)
- A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?”

Highly regarded for her many years at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, she managed and facilitated their signature program, Perfect Health. Working with Dr. Deepak Chopra and being involved with cutting edge research in meditation and Ayurveda there, Wendi has been up close and personal with the brightest minds in the wellness industry. Now working with Lee Harris Energy, she is the Director of Studio Operations and a producer who uses her creative prowess, intuition and vision to support transformational work.
What makes her special in this field, is that she found meditation and mindfulness on her own path to healing after being diagnosed with a rare and chronic illness in 2003. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to think outside of the box led her to looking at integrative approaches. That is when she had profound shifts in her health and also fell in love with meditation. As a result of her journey, Wendi has a deep capacity to understand the many challenges people face when looking at healing and transformation. She is also a board certified Integrative NLP Practitioner and trained in Authentic Communication.
Being of service is when Wendi is the happiest - supporting people so they feel more peaceful, clear, and grounded, experiencing more love and inspiration in their lives is what lights her up. Her mantra is "follow the fun" and that is EXACTLY what she hopes to inspire in others.
The Humility of Healing.....
By Wendi Cohen
Healing is often a misunderstood journey that reveals lessons in humility and the chance for deep learning, uncovering aspects of ourselves, if and only if, we are willing to look at them. By allowing and receiving, staying open and getting creative, thinking with our hearts while feeling our bodies, there can be some profound shifts in how we experience the challenge - whether it is physical, emotional or heart based. In my case, it was learning to navigate a new 'normal' after a life-changing diagnosis that rocked my world.
My path has been messy while stunningly beautiful, scary and empowering - filled with moments I'd never ever want to revisit AND also so many moments of being the recipient of so much love and generosity, from unexpected places. When we have a better understanding that healing isn't necessarily linear - that it can be like a game of chutes and ladders or riding a roller coaster that takes your breath away, heart opening and heart breaking - but with the infusion of creativity, receptivity, a sense of humor and beginning new each day, it can become less jarring.
Now twenty years later, to have had the good fortune to learn and then work with some of the most extraordinary visionaries, teachers, healers, and with my clients, I am truly humbled by it all - the good, the challenging and what has yet to come.

““Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.”
— Lora Cheadle
Terrified you’ll make the wrong move and “blow up” your life—even though you didn’t cause the betrayal? In this episode, Lora Cheadle breaks down why smart, high-achieving women get stuck in analysis paralysis after infidelity and how to shift from panic to self-trust. Learn to spot fight/flight/freeze/fawn (fix), regulate your nervous system in minutes, and make clear decisions you won’t regret. You’ll also get a powerful responsibility reframe (final decision ≠ cause) plus Lora’s unforgettable “dog-poop on the carpet” analogy to help you choose the right next step—therapy, coaching, or pause—without fear of “messing it up.” Perfect for women ready to reclaim their voice, their worth, and their future.
Top 3 Takeaways
- Regulate before you decide: Identify fight/flight/freeze/fawn and use quick somatic resets to bring your thinking brain back online.
- Final decision ≠ cause: Choosing divorce—or staying—doesn’t mean you “blew it up.” Accountability stays with the betrayer.
- Your strengths were hijacked, not wrong: You weren’t cheated on because you’re weak; your high-achiever traits were exploited. Use them now to choose wisely.
“You were not cheated on because you’re worthless. You were cheated on because you’re powerful.” – Lora Cheadle
