    Have you ever lost yourself in a relationship? Sometimes, we find ourselves in narratives that resemble movies. Lies, confusion, and betrayal can leave us wondering if we'll ever feel okay again. Will we ever be able to trust anyone? Disbelief and shock often leave us feeling profoundly stuck. In this two-part episode, I am joined by my cousin, where she recounts a story in which she experienced deep betrayal from a friend. In part one, we share the details of what transpired, and in part two, we delve into the profound realizations and healing that emerged from a very painful and disorienting period. A little heads up: in this episode, we discuss sexual violence and abuse.
