176. Why Me? Making Sense of Betrayal, Pain, and Unanswered Questions
In this episode of The Empowered Divorce Podcast, Amie talks about the deeply human question so many betrayed partners ask: “Why me?” When you’ve loved well, worked hard, forgiven, tried, gone to therapy, and betrayal or divorce still happens — your nervous system searches for meaning, justice, and safety.
