As a certified professional coach and Betrayal Recovery Specialist, I deeply understand the overwhelming pain and confusion that comes with intimate partner betrayal. I’ve been there—feeling heartbroken, alone, and unsure of how to heal. But my journey through betrayal has also given me the tools and insights to help others navigate their own paths to recovery.
I was born to teenage parents and faced many challenges growing up, including abandonment by my father and homelessness at 16. Despite these early hardships, I developed resilience that helped me overcome many obstacles in life. However, nothing could have prepared me for the devastation of hearing my husband of two decades say, “I’ve met someone.” Those three words shattered my world, forcing me to confront my deepest fears and insecurities.
Despite my background in psychology, I felt like a shell of my former self. I realized that no amount of education or external validation could fill the void that betrayal had created. This realization was the catalyst for my journey toward self-love and healing.
I combined my 20 years of C-Suite executive leadership with an Evercoach Coaching Certification to specialize in betrayal recovery. This unique blend of personal and professional growth has equipped me to help clients transform their pain into lasting strength and meaningful change.
Having walked this path myself, I know what it takes to overcome the pain of betrayal and create a life that is both fulfilling and authentic. My approach to coaching is deeply personalized, ensuring that each client receives the support they need at every stage of their healing journey.
While there are seven principles of self-love that I’ve found instrumental in healing from betrayal, here are three that you can start implementing right away:
Trust Your Timing: Just as a cherry blossom blooms in its own time, your healing journey is unfolding exactly as it should. Trust that you are right on time.
Embrace Imperfection: Life is messy, and so is healing. Embrace your imperfections as opportunities for growth and transformation.
Recognize Your Worth: Your value is inherent, not determined by others. Treat yourself with the kindness and respect you deserve.
These principles have been crucial in my recovery, and they can help you begin your journey toward healing as well.
Healing from betrayal requires vulnerability, courage, and a commitment to self-love. As your coach, my mission is to guide you through this transformative process, helping you reclaim your sense of self and build a life of purpose and fulfillment. With the right support, you can turn your pain into power, creating a life that is not only healed but also thriving.
Let’s work together to help you heal, love, and trust again—so you can live a life by your own design.
