Betrayal in the Self, Friendships and Re...

Sarah Alagroobi
About this episode

On this week's episode, we are joined by a return guest, Layla K. Saleh to help navigate the topic of betrayal. The betrayals we commit against ourselves in the name of love, loyalty, or fear of abandonment. Reflecting on friendships and romantic relationships, she explores how we abandon our values, silence our instincts, and shrink our truths to keep the peace or preserve connection. What does it mean to be loyal to yourself when that very loyalty threatens to end the bond? How do we honour ourselves without becoming hardened or closed off?
