FLAUNT! Create a Life You Love After Infidelity or Betrayal

Rise After Betrayal: From Wounded to Wise


Infidelity and betrayal don’t have to define you — they can refine you. Hosted by TEDx speaker, author, and Betrayal Recovery Coach Lora Cheadle, Rise After Betrayal gives you the complete map to heal fully — mind, body, spirit, and safety — so you rise whole, sovereign, and unshakably free.

This isn’t just about “getting over it.” It’s about reclaiming the pieces of yourself you lost along the way, breaking free from obsessive thoughts, and stepping into the woman you were always meant to be. With a clinically-backed framework that blends legal clarity, somatic and emotional release, spiritual and ancestral healing, and practical tools, you’ll learn how to:

  • Rebuild your confidence, self-worth, and identity after infidelity

  • Break trauma bonds and reclaim your choices

  • Heal the nervous system and restore your energy

  • Create a life filled with joy, freedom, and unapologetic self-expression

If you’ve been asking yourself “Will I ever feel whole again?” — the answer is YES, and this podcast will show you how.
