Episode 311: It's Not Burnout, It's Betrayal with Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt

Betrayal recovery coach Lora Cheadle is back on the show! She's flipping the script on burnout and explains why "it's not just stress—it's betrayal." When expectations break, whether in your career, marriage, or personal life, the real damage isn't just exhaustion—it's the hit to your sense of self and your self-worth. So, Lora breaks down why burnout happens when broken expectations rupture your view of yourself or the world—and how to shift out of it.

She also walks us through her FUEL UP burnout recovery method, designed to rebuild from the inside out. From finding your why to managing expectations, uncovering root causes, and yes, even using laughter to reset your nervous system, Lora offers a different way forward.

You'll also hear:

How to recognize when burnout is actually betrayal (3:56)
Why expectation management is the missing piece in burnout recovery (5:28)
Lora shares five tools to help you FUEL UP & Thrive (15:28)
