You trained them. You advocated for them. You handed them something sacred. And then they rewrote the story. Professional betrayal doesn't just hurt your work—it attacks your discernment, making you question your judgment, your generosity, and your ability to trust again.

This episode is for the leader who has been wounded by betrayal and feels the quiet creep of bitterness. We go beyond simplistic forgiveness talk and address the real, physiological impact of broken trust. Learn how betrayal hijacks your nervous system, why it makes you lead from defense, and how to set boundaries that protect your heart without shrinking your leadership or poisoning your next season.
