After betrayal, many people feel like they’re walking around under a spotlight, like everyone is watching, whispering, judging. But here’s the truth: it’s not always their judgement that holds you back, it’s your perception of it. In this episode, Luke unpacks how imagined judgement can shape your behaviour, limit your authenticity, and keep you stuck in cycles of shame and silence. More importantly, he reveals how to reclaim your voice and your freedom by learning to question the real critic, the one inside. Whether you’re the betrayed or the unfaithful partner, or just someone carrying shame and fear about what others think… this episode will help you reconnect with the only opinion that truly matters: your own. 🎯 Key Takeaways: ✔️ The psychology behind the “spotlight effect” and projection bias. ✔️ Why our own inner critic often speaks louder than real external judgment. ✔️ How shame leads to self-abandonment in relationships and beyond. ✔️ Luke’s personal experience with masking vulnerability in his relationship. ✔️ Practical tools to reframe the stories you tell yourself and show up more authentically. 💬 Reflection Question: If no one else’s opinion mattered… how would you show up differently?
