Episode Title: When Someone Reneges on a Promise to Help You

Episode Summary:
Have you ever had someone promise to help you, only to back out when you really needed them? It’s frustrating, disappointing, and—let’s be honest—sometimes infuriating. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to handle the hurt, process the disappointment, and move forward without letting it weigh you down.

I’ll walk you through three key steps:

1. Acknowledge the Hurt Without Letting It Control You – It’s okay to feel let down, but don’t let resentment take over.
2. Consider the Why, but Don’t Get Stuck There – Understanding their reasons can help you decide your next move.
3. Decide How to Move Forward (With or Without Them) – Whether that means seeking help elsewhere, setting boundaries, or pivoting your plan, you’ve got options.

At the end of the day, one broken promise doesn’t have to break you. Tune in for practical tips, encouragement, and a reminder that you are still in control of your path.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Disappointment is normal, but it doesn’t have to define you.
✅ Understanding why someone let you down can provide clarity (but not always closure).
✅ You have the power to move forward—whether that means setting boundaries or finding new support.
