From Shattered to Shining (Holiday Edition)
How to Rebuild Hope, Identity & Sparkle After Betrayal
There’s a moment after betrayal when you look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourself anymore. Not because you’re weak — but because you’ve been trying so hard to survive, hold everything together, and make sense of a world that suddenly stopped making sense.
If your sparkle feels dulled… If you feel like the woman you once were is gone… This episode will remind you: She’s still in there. And hope is still in there too.
---In this powerful episode, Lora takes you deep into what really breaks during betrayal — hope, identity, safety, and the sense of who you are. Last week’s show revealed that hope doesn’t die; hope hides. This week, you’ll learn how to begin revealing yourself again — layer by layer — so your hope can return and your sparkle can rise.
Lora shares how the FLAUNT!® framework was “downloaded” years before her own betrayal, how it became the blueprint that saved her life, and how you can use these same steps to move from shattered to shining this holiday season.
You’ll also hear the full story behind the free December 1st From Shattered to Shining Book Club & Workshop — a guided, experiential celebration of healing, revealing, and reclaiming your joy.
This is the episode to listen to if you feel lost, dulled, destabilized, or disconnected — especially heading into the holidays.
TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS
Betrayal doesn’t “break” you. It buries you under grief, shock, and roles you never meant to carry. Healing is not fixing — it’s revealing.
Hope disappears under masks, roles, labels, and survival patterns. When you begin to unmask yourself, hope becomes possible again.
Originally built for empowerment, it became the missing map for navigating infidelity: F – Find Your Fetish (joy) L – Laugh Out Loud (regulate your nervous system) A – Accept Unconditionally (what is true) N – Navigate the Negative (integrate, don’t avoid) T – Trust in Your Truth (stand in who you are becoming)
