- The truth behind why men can love you – and still cheat.
- Why fear, shame, and anger are the unaddressed root cause of betrayal.

Mistakes Wives Make Trying to get their Husband Back – with Laura Doyle
Sunday Mar 27, 2022
Sunday Mar 27, 2022
Have you ever wished for a complete do-over of your relationship? Whether you are working things out, have no idea what you are going to do, or have already left but are determined to do things “right” next time around, learning which mistakes you are making will help! Even without your partner’s conscious effort, you can create more harmony, intimacy, and joy in your relationship today using these six intimacy skills.
Top take-a-ways:
- How chronic unhappiness breeds discontent and why making yourself ridiculously happy, no matter how much of a crisis you are in, is the first step in healing.
- Why being “too helpful” in relationships can backfire and how phrases such as “I trust you” and “Whatever you think” allow you to disengage, restore mutual respect, and inspire your partner to step up and do their own work more readily than when you try to “fix” or force your partner to change.
- Gratitude and the power of “spouse-fulfilling prophesies” in bringing out the best in your partner – no matter how hopeless the situation may seem.
- How to be authentic in your communication and say what you desire in a way that triggers your partner’s “hero gene” and desire to serve.
New York Times Bestselling Author and relationship expert Laura Doyle was the perfect wife…until she actually got married. When she told her husband how to be tidier, more romantic, and more ambitious, he avoided her. So she dragged him to marriage counseling and nearly divorced him. In desperation, she asked happily married women for their secrets, and that’s when she got her miracle: the man who had wooed her returned. Laura’s books have been translated into 19 languages in 30 countries and accidentally started a worldwide movement. Laura’s mission is to end world divorce. She is the founder of the international relationship coach training school Laura Doyle Connect, the star of Empowered Wives on Amazon Prime, the Creator of The Ridiculously Happy Wife program, the host of The Empowered Wife Podcast and she has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America and The View. She has helped over 15,000 women fix their relationships–even the hopeless ones– without their husband’s effort. But the thing that Laura is most proud of is her gratifying 31-year marriage with her hilarious husband John, who has been dressing himself since before she was born

Should I Stay or Should I go? Deciding What to do After Infidelity-Solo Show
Sunday Mar 20, 2022
Sunday Mar 20, 2022
Should I stay or should I go? Is one of the most often asked, and anguished over, questions after infidelity or betrayal. After experiencing the shock and devastation of your life not being what you thought it was, many women want certainty. Certainty that they are making the “right” decisions. Certainty that their partner won’t cheat again. Certainty that they will find new love, or certainty that their life or marriage will work out the way they want it to. Although none of us can guarantee the future, here are three simple steps (and a whole host of “a-ha” inducing questions) that will help you make the best decision based on your circumstances.
Top take-a-ways:
- Uniting the head and the heart in order to make decisions that result in a full body yes, no, or I need more time!
- Creating a boundary around yourself, your healing, and your decision-making process so you can make decisions that are right for you, and how to honor your partner’s boundaries and decision-making process as well, so you can get what you want.
- Why the phrase “once a cheater always a cheater” is untrue, and how to discern whether your partner is more or less likely to cheat again.
- The importance of identity and desire, and why knowing who you are and what you want is imperative deciding how to move forward after infidelity or betrayal.
- Choosing your hard, and the truth about recovering together vs. recovering apart.
- Letting go what other people might think and grounding yourself in realistic expectations.

Sunday Mar 13, 2022
Sunday Mar 13, 2022
Whenever our brains have “open loops” aka unanswered questions, they automatically start searching for answers. They search and they search, and they search until they find answers for those questions so they can close the loop and move on. Until the brain finds a satisfactory answer, it keeps seeking answers. That’s why you are having obsessive thoughts. Here’s how to find peace and stop.
Top take-a-ways:
- Understanding the difference between the need to process, find answers, and reclaim your story and indulging in unhealthy obsessive thoughts.
- How to stop letting toxic thought high-jack your well-being so you can break out of the trauma and think clearly again.
- The power of gratitude and top tips for calming down the nervous system and learning how to function healthily again.
- Why obsessive thoughts can be the gateway to healing, understanding, and writing “the rest of the story.”

Find Your Passion & Purpose -A 30-Minute Guided Meditation/Self-Hypnosis
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
The shocking truth about burnout is that it's not usually burnout. More often than not it's betrayal that causes you to feel cynical, disconnected, overwhelmed, and exhausted.
It's my hunch that, like me, the life you are living is a far cry from the life you thought you would live. Fairy tale fantasies aside, I'm fairly certain that none of us dreamed of living through a pandemic, a mortgage crisis, or a potential world war. Not to mention the onslaught of personal and professional heartbreak that we face - more often than we care to admit.
The first step in "managing burnout" is stop "managing burnout." Instead, re-frame your burnout in terms of betrayal. When you do, you will get clear of what you wanted or expected out of life versus what you actually got. Knowing this is empowering because it shows where you are:
- Unclear about who you are, what you value, the legacy you want to create, and what you are willing to tolerate
- Failing to create or enforce boundaries that support well-being while pursuing what brings you joy
- Conflating what you do and accomplish with who you are and what you are inherently worth
Knowing where you are at and where you want to be is the essential first step in re-choreographing your life in a way that supports happiness and well-being. Stay tuned, this newsletter will help you get clear again. So you can move from exhausted to enthusiastic, cynical to optimistic, detached to engaged, ineffective to potent, and overwhelmed to overjoyed. No matter how "burned out" you feel right now.
Because, as I said earlier, it's probably not burnout. It's betrayal. And unlike burnout, betrayal can be addressed and healed for good. Leaving you with the kind of life you dreamed about before.
Curious? Try this 30-minute guided meditation/self-hypnosis on Finding Your Passion and Purpose.
And if you are ready for rapid change, I can help with that too! https://loracheadle.com/reclaim-your-power-and-own-your-worth-coaching-experience/
Lora Cheadle is an author, TEDx speaker, life, and leadership coach. She shows driven women how to move beyond soothing the symptoms of burnout and resolve the root cause, which oftentimes is betrayal. Whether that betrayal is from a person, system, changes in one’s body or health, or the realization that you’ve spent your life in service of a dream that was not your own, Lora show women leaders how to break free from burnout, reclaim their agency, and own their worth, so they can create a life they love before it’s too late. She is the creator of the Life Choreography® Life & Leadership Programs, It’s not Burnout; it’s Betrayal, and Advocate for What You Want after Infidelity or Betrayal. She is the author of the award-winning book, "FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy and Spiritual Self" and host of the top-rated podcast, “FLAUNT! Find Your Sparkle and Create a Life You Love After Infidelity and Betrayal.”

Breathwork For Emotional Release – With R. Christian Minson
Sunday Mar 06, 2022
Sunday Mar 06, 2022
Breath is the foundation of life, the doorway to multidimensionality, and how you breath determines how you feel on this human journey. Betrayal leads to a loss of trust, a loss of control, and a loss of flow. Breathwork is a tool that can help you regulate and calm your nervous system, relax and accept the present moment, and feel better fast. The choice is yours: You can either stumble through the forest or can find a path that will lead you through more easily. Let Breathwork be that path!
Top take-a-ways:
- Understanding why all emotions have value and how to learn to trust your breath so you can relax and recover after infidelity or other emotional trauma.
- Why every breath you take is either reinforcing negative emotional experiences or creating positive ones, and how to consciously repattern your life experience using breath.
- How to move through and process the emotional backlog of bitterness, pain, and resentment post-betrayal.
- The truth of Freud’s saying, “Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” and the necessity of releasing the cellular memory of trauma if you want to heal.
- The secret reason we hold our breath, and how breath-holding is a suspension of life, a momentary death, where you don’t want to move forward and face what’s next.
Remember, whatever posture you meet life with, is how life will meet you! And as Michael Blair says, “It’s not about feeling better, it’s about getting better at feeling.” But once you do, you will feel better! What kind of life do you want to create?
R. Christian Minson is an International Speaker, Best-Selling Contributing Author, Trainer, Coach, and the Founder of Breathflow Wellness International, a world-renowned transformational holistic health and wellness platform to share the life-changing techniques of breathwork. A former Monk, Christian spent 10 years in the YogicMonastery of Self-Realization Fellowship,founded by Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi), in Los Angeles to serve as Yogananda’s instrument for the dissemination of his writings and teachings, including Kriya Yoga.
After years searching for deeper meaning of life in the Monastery, Christian now teaches and guides others to find meaning in their own personal and professional lives by delivering inspiration and practical real-world tools that result in higher levels of vibration, creation, alignment, fulfillment and performance. Christian was formerly the Resident Director of the Breathwork Program at RYTHMIA Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, specializing in fusing ancient wisdom and modern techniques for healing and creating a life you love.
Christian has worked alongside the well-known thought leader, Gregg Braden, and has shared his message and techniques across the globe—including the Middle East, Europe, Mexico, Canada, and all over the USA. He has shared his message with business people, thought-leaders, princesses, athletes and celebrities, students, and everyday seekers of a better way of life. Visit his website at www.breathflow.com.

Fawn: Why Smart Women Ignore Red Flags with Nischa Phair
Sunday Feb 27, 2022
Sunday Feb 27, 2022
You’ve probably heard of fight, flight, or freeze, but did you know that fawning (going out of your way to please someone) is also a trauma response? While fawning is a common stress response for many women, it’s especially prevalent after infidelity or betrayal. Learn how to identify, manage, and stop fawning behaviors so you can create and hold better, more authentic boundaries.
Top take-a-ways:
- Why so many women claim the “don’t like sex,” and how to reclaim and reorient to pleasure by understanding the difference between the “stress management mode” and the “pleasure production mode.”
- Reveling in the pride of surviving your trauma and releasing shame when you wake up one day and wonder, “How did this happen?” by understanding that fawning in a biological stress response (not an emotional defect) that it is trained into us as women, as our instincts are slowly trained out.
- The reasons why we can’t see red flags in relationships until it’s too late, and why we explain away unhealthy, toxic masculinity and behaviors.
- Top tip! The power of the “Somatic Pause” (which is a body-full, instead of mindful break) and how to incorporate little moments of pleasure throughout the day.
- How pleasure helps us see the truth of who we are and what we need to do to heal ourselves and feel better.
Nischa Heron Phair is an author, researcher, trauma-informed sex educator and the founder of SomaBody Trauma-Informed Pleasure Work. She works with survivors and those recovering from unhealthy relationships to help them reclaim a nourishing, authentic and soulfully-aligned relationship to pleasure that supports them to live more purposefully in every area of their lives.
Her book, Fawn: When No Looks Like Yes is the first book to be written about fawning in the context of sex and consent. In addition to sounding the alarm, Phair attempts to answer the million-dollar question: How can sex and intimacy thrive in a post-#metoo, post-pandemic reality? Part exposé, part self-study guide, part memoir, Fawn is a rousing and heartfelt call to celebrate our authentic sexuality and to invite more integrity and intention into our sex lives and relationships, whether they be casual or long-term.
