Grief is rarely acknowledged when you are the one who caused the damage. In this episode, Judith speaks to the quiet, often hidden grief women carry after betrayal, the loss of identity, future, trust in self, and the version of life they believed they were living. She explores how this grief gets buried under shame, responsibility, and the belief that you are not allowed to hurt because you caused the pain. This conversation creates space for truth, showing how honoring your grief does not erase accountability, but deepens healing and emotional integrity. If you are carrying sorrow in silence and pretending to be strong, this episode offers permission to name what was lost and begin rebuilding from honesty instead of self-punishment.
