You’re exhausted, unfulfilled, and running on autopilot— but what if this isn’t burnout? What if it’s betrayal—of your identity, your truth, your needs?

In this unfiltered and fire-starting episode of What the Shift, Gia sits down with transformational coach and TEDx speaker Lora Cheadle, author of It’s Not Burnout, It’s Betrayal. After discovering her husband had been unfaithful for 15 years, Lora was forced to confront not just the collapse of her marriage—but the quiet ways she had been betraying herself for decades.

This conversation is a reckoning.

We unpack:

  • The silent self-betrayals women commit in the name of success, marriage, and being “good”
  • Why burnout solutions like yoga and time-blocking don’t work—because they’re solving the wrong problem
  • How perfectionism becomes a prison What it actually means to stop performing your life and start living it
  • And how to reclaim self-trust after everything falls apart If you’re doing everything “right” and still feel empty, this is your wake-up call.

You don’t need more discipline. You need a different truth.

🎧 Press play and start unraveling the betrayal—so you can finally come home to yourself.
