Episode Description
What if the exhaustion you're carrying isn't about your schedule at all — but a betrayal you haven't even named yet?
In this episode of Break Free from the Burnout, Dr. Anastasia Chopelas sits down with attorney-turned-somatic-healing practitioner Lora Cheadle to unpack the real difference between burnout from overwork and burnout rooted in betrayal trauma. Lora explains how betrayal — the breaking of an expectation you relied on — shows up in the body, why high-achieving women are especially prone to internalizing it, and how her concept of "flaunt" (full expression instead of collapse) helps release what's been held in the gut, shoulders, and mind. The conversation moves through unconscious agreements, questioning inherited beliefs, and why grieving before healing matters more than rushing to fix it. Lora also shares her betrayal recovery guide, built around small, sequential steps rather than an all-at-once overhaul.
