Ever wonder why you didn’t see the betrayal coming—or why you feel so angry now that you know the truth?
In today's episode of Beauty Beyond Betrayal, we’re diving deep into betrayal blindness—a term developed by Dr. Jennifer Freyd as part of Betrayal Trauma Theory. You’ll discover how this unconscious survival mechanism causes many women to “not know” what’s happening right in front of them when infidelity or deception is taking place.
Lisa unpacks: 💔 What betrayal blindness really is and why it’s not simple denial, but a complex psychological and spiritual adaptation. 🔥 Why anger after infidelity feels so explosive—and how it’s connected to years of suppressed pain, lost intuition, and shattered trust. 🧠 What the latest trauma research says about the brain’s “freeze” and “fight” responses after betrayal. 🙏 How to move from suppressed pain to empowered clarity through God’s truth and grace.
You’ll also hear practical, biblical steps to help you: ✨ Rewire false beliefs that kept you in emotional denial. ✨ Validate your righteous anger and process it in a healthy, God-honoring way. ✨ Begin trusting your intuition again as you rebuild your sense of safety and identity.
If you’re ready to stop blaming yourself, see the truth clearly, and walk in freedom, this episode will help you take your next step toward healing.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
