Broken trust can make us look at the world with skepticism, resistance and hesitancy. Or broken trust can make us more resilient and brave.
We get to choose how we move forward.
In this episode of Season 7, Lysa, Jim and Joel discuss how we can find the inner strength to move forward, even when broken trust and betrayals have stolen from us.

S7 E5 | Am I Trying To Control What Is Actually out of My Control?
When you have experienced heartbreak or betrayal, it’s hard not to fall into thought spirals. You may find yourself bracing for impact as you think: If this worst-case scenario happened in the past, when will something else bad happen again?
But if we’re honest ... So many times, we spiral in our thoughts about things we can’t control.
In this episode, Lysa, Jim and Joel will help you see that even when you're spiraling, you may feel powerless but you have choices you can make to find your way forward.
