🎙️ Episode 2: The Setup That Looked Like Support
Loyalty, betrayal, and the quiet unraveling that happens when you keep showing up for something that was never built for you.
Show Description:
This episode is personal.
I’m sharing a moment I haven’t said out loud until now. How I found myself giving, building, and believing in a vision that wasn’t mine… and wasn’t meant to include me.
The betrayal didn’t come loud.
It came with smiles. Sweet words. Strategy meetings.
It came disguised as support.
And I kept showing up, thinking I was being seen when really, I was being used.
Today, I’m unpacking what it felt like to have my loyalty turned into leverage and how I found my way back to me.
