The Cost of Rising: Navigating Betrayal and Envy
Description
Success comes with a price—and it’s rarely talked about. In this episode, drawn from The Cost of Rising by A. Cordero, we cut through the illusions of loyalty and expose the hidden costs of ambition: betrayal, envy, and the loneliness that comes with breaking free from mediocrity. You’ll discover why the harshest criticism often comes from those closest to you, how envy disguises itself as concern, and why betrayal is less about you and more about the insecurities of others.
This episode doesn’t stop at diagnosis—it delivers action. You’ll learn how to audit your relationships, embrace isolation as fuel, and transform pain into power. If you’re ready to rise without apology and convert betrayal into a weapon for growth, this conversation is for you.
