When betrayal shatters your trust and divorce changes everything you thought your life would be, hope can feel impossible. You might find yourself thinking, “I’ll never trust again.” or “Maybe I’m just too broken to start over.”

In this episode, we’re unpacking what hope after betrayal and divorce really means—what it is, what it isn’t, and how to find it again when it feels completely gone. Hope isn’t about waiting for someone else to change or for life to return to what it was; it’s about reclaiming your agency, your self-trust, and your ability to believe in what’s still possible for you.

We’ll talk about how to recognize false hope, rebuild your inner strength, and reconnect to the kind of hope that comes from within—the kind that lets you believe in you again.

• Why false hope can keep you stuck in pain and waiting for change that never comes

• The difference between survival hope and empowered hope

• What Brené Brown teaches about hope as a learned practice

• How to hold both grief and growth at the same time

• Why hope isn’t naive—it’s an act of courage

• How to root your hope in awareness, acceptance, and agency

“Hope isn’t waiting for someone to save you.
It’s realizing you have the power to choose yourself—again and again.”

If you’ve lost hope in love, in men, or even in your ability to trust yourself again—this is where healing begins.
