When You Betray Yourself (and Others) — Meeting the Parts You’d Rather Hide

This one wasn’t planned. It just needed to come through. In today’s off-the-cuff episode, I’m speaking into the gritty, complex terrain of self-betrayal — the parts of us that act from pain, not alignment. The things we do that we swore we never would. The moments that split us from ourselves. I share a recent experience of being trolled after posting something vulnerable online — how it cracked open a deeper conversation about shame, courage, and compassion for the parts of us we’re still learning how to love. In this episode, we explore: why high-functioning women still carry unprocessed shame, what happens when we act out from a part of us that's deeply hurt, how the “good girl” identity keeps us stuck in binary thinking, the liberating truth that we are not just one self — but many, and why healing means turning toward, not away, from the parts that scare us. If you’ve ever done something that made you question who you are… if you’ve ever been scared that your darkness makes you unlovable… this one’s for you. → Come say hi on Instagram: @lucy__maeve → Learn more about 1:1 coaching
