Healing after betrayal is hard enough—but what happens when you’re doing the work alone? In this honest and hope-filled conversation, we sit down with Lyschel Burket, founder of Hope Redefined Ministries, to explore the realities of one-sided healing.

Lyschel brings deep compassion, biblical truth, and hard-earned wisdom to a topic many women quietly carry. Together, we unpack why one-sided healing is so common in betrayal recovery, how to stay grounded when your partner isn’t doing their work, and how women can release responsibility that was never theirs to carry—without losing hope, faith, or themselves.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:

• One-sided healing occurs when a betrayed partner is pursuing growth, boundaries, and restoration while the other person remains disengaged, resistant, or unsafe.

• Many women find themselves healing alone because they cannot control another person’s willingness to change—only their own responses and choices.

• Carrying someone else’s responsibility creates exhaustion, resentment, and confusion; healthy healing requires clear emotional and spiritual boundaries.

• Staying anchored in one-sided healing often involves grounding practices such as prayer, Scripture, community support, and trauma-informed tools.

• Women frequently battle lies about their worth, responsibility, or “failure” when healing alone—truth replaces those lies with clarity, dignity, and freedom.

• Unexpected growth can emerge through one-sided healing, including deeper identity, resilience, discernment, and spiritual maturity.

• Even in the middle of unresolved circumstances, hope is not lost—God’s work in you is never wasted.
