Have you ever felt completely stuck trying to make a decision after betrayal — even when you’re doing everything “right”?
Stay or go.
Try again or walk away.
Trust your gut… or question it endlessly.
After betrayal, even wise, thoughtful decisions can feel impossible to make. Not because you’re broken — but because your nervous system is trying to keep you safe.
In this episode of FLAUNT!, Lora Cheadle unpacks why decision-making feels so overwhelming after betrayal, how perfectionism and self-blame sneak in when outcomes don’t match expectations, and why freeze is a trauma response — not a personal failure.
Using a powerful personal story, relatable examples, and trauma-informed insight, Lora reframes what it really means to “choose wisely” and introduces discernment as the missing language betrayed women were never given.
You didn’t lose your ability to decide.
Your system is responding intelligently to uncertainty.
