Betrayal doesn’t just happen in your mind—it lives in your body. The racing heart, the tight chest, the endless mental loops that keep you awake at night… they’re not just “in your head.” They’re your body holding on to trauma. And while journaling, therapy, and mindset work can bring clarity, they don’t always free you from the pain that’s lodged deep within.

That’s why this conversation with betrayal recovery coach, TEDx speaker, and author Lora Cheadle is so powerful. Lora knows firsthand the devastation of infidelity, and she shares how somatic healing, hypnosis, and even burlesque-inspired movement can unlock joy, sensuality, and a true sense of safety after betrayal.

Together, we explore how trauma gets stored on a cellular level and the surprising ways to release it, how hypnosis helps quiet the obsessive loops about the affair or the other woman, and why reconnecting with your sensual body is not just important—it’s essential. Lora even introduces the playful, empowering practice of burlesque-inspired movement and Yogalesque® as a way to reclaim pleasure, confidence, and personal power.

If you’ve been stuck reliving the same painful stories, this episode is an invitation to step out of your head and back into your body. Because real healing—and the freedom to fully live again—begins when your body feels safe enough to let go.

Lora Cheadle brings not only her professional expertise but her lived experience of betrayal. After discovering her husband’s 15-year affair, she turned heartbreak into a path of healing and joy, and now guides women through the emotional, energetic, and even ancestral layers of betrayal recovery. She’s the author of FLAUNT! and It’s Not Burnout, It’s Betrayal, and the host of the FLAUNT! Create a Life You Love After Infidelity or Betrayal podcast.

This episode is a compassionate reminder that your healing isn’t just about making sense of the past—it’s about reclaiming your body, your joy, and your life.

In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Marc Azoulay, psychotherapist and founder of Men’s Therapy Online, for a raw and powerful conversation about the struggles men face during and after divorce. Too often, men are left to navigate their grief alone—raised to be stoic, self-sufficient, and emotionally guarded. But when divorce shatters their world, the quiet reckoning sets in. Identity collapses. Numbness and rage surface. Disbelief lingers. Many men find themselves staring at the wreckage of what used to be, barely recognizing who they are anymore.

Marc and I explore what it really takes for men to move through this kind of pain and begin rebuilding their lives. We talk about the collapse of identity after divorce, the hidden cost of traditional masculinity, and why community, mentorship, and ritual are essential for healing. Marc offers practical guidance for finding structure and meaning again, navigating co-parenting while hurting, and stepping back into dating without the masks that keep men disconnected from their truth. He also shares the deeper practices that help men reclaim themselves and rise stronger—on their terms.

Marc Azoulay, LPC, LAC, CGP, ACS, is the founder of Men’s Therapy Online, a groundbreaking healing community that combines psychoanalysis, neuroscience, and Buddhism. His work—whether through group counseling, individual therapy, or wilderness retreats—creates safe spaces where men can confront their grief, break down unconscious barriers, and discover the man they were always meant to be.

If you are a man navigating the grief of divorce and searching for clarity, brotherhood, and strength, this episode will offer both insight and a path forward.
