Edge Note: Can Betrayal Trauma Change Your Brain?
What happens to your brain when the person you trusted most becomes the source of your greatest pain? Betrayal trauma doesn’t just break your heart. It can fundamentally alter how your brain processes safety, trust, relationships, and even your own reality. After spending more than a decade in a relationship marked by chronic infidelity, gaslighting, financial exploitation, and substance abuse, I walked away questioning everything, including my own judgment and identity.In this deeply personal Edge Note, I explore the neuroscience behind betrayal trauma, how prolonged emotional manipulation impacts the nervous system, and why survivors often experience hypervigilance, anxiety, obsessive questioning, and profound self-doubt. I’ll share what it took to rebuild my identity from the ground up and how neuroplasticity offers genuine hope for recovery. If you’ve ever felt like you were losing your mind after betrayal, this conversation is about understanding what happened to you, reclaiming your sense of self, and learning to trust yourself again.In this Edge Note, we explore:How betrayal trauma affects the brain, nervous system, and body’s threat response.Why gaslighting and chronic deception can destroy self-trust and distort your sense of reality.The connection between betrayal trauma, hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation, and survival behaviors.How prolonged psychological manipulation can erode identity, confidence, and the ability to make decisions.The science of neuroplasticity and how healing can help you rebuild self-trust, establish boundaries, and stop abandoning yourself.Connect with Lisa | INSIDE THE EDGEGo beyond the podcast with exclusive conversations, private episodes, live gatherings, and a community exploring trauma, healing, reinvention, and everything that makes us human.https://lisalacy.com/inside-the-edgeWhat did you perform in order to survive?Welcome to the Edge.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Edge Note: What If Being Right Is Keeping You Stuck?
Why is saying “I don’t know” so uncomfortable? Australian osteopath, educator, and Uncomfortably Curious podcast host Aidan Mill joins Lisa Lacy to explore curiosity, cognitive bias, and why questioning what we believe might be one of the most powerful things we can do.From the stories we tell ourselves to the labels we allow to define us, this conversation challenges certainty, explores how our experiences shape our perceptions, and examines what happens when we choose understanding over being right. Sometimes the most courageous thing we can do is admit we might not have all the answers.In this episode:Why we’re uncomfortable admitting we don’t know somethingHow personal experiences and assumptions shape our perception of truthWhen diagnoses and labels become part of our identityThe difference between confidence, competence, and certaintyHow curiosity, emotional openness, and better questions create opportunities for growthConnect with Aidan MillWebsite: https://www.forwardosteo.com.auPodcast, Uncomfortably Curious: https://rss.com/podcasts/uncomfortably-curious/Connect with Lisa | INSIDE THE EDGEhttps://www.lisalacy.com/inside-the-edgeWhat did you perform in order to survive?Welcome to the Edge.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What If Thinking Harder Is Keeping You Stuck? Overcoming Decision Paralysis with Brent Lupia
What if the very intelligence that helped you succeed is now keeping you stuck? Lisa Lacy sits down with Brent Lupia, Performance and Clarity Coach and creator of Externalized Sensemaking™, to explore why intelligent, high-performing people struggle with overthinking, decision paralysis, and mental clarity. Drawing from 18 years in high-stakes security and intelligence operations, Brent shares what happens when a brain trained for urgency and immediate feedback encounters uncertainty, and why thinking harder isn’t always the answer.From recognizing hidden patterns and challenging assumptions to accountability, neurodivergence, and breaking cycles of self-sacrifice, this conversation goes far beyond productivity. Brent opens up about the role he performed to survive childhood, the cost of constantly stabilizing everyone around him, and how learning to understand his own mind helped him rediscover himself. Together, we explore how curiosity, self-awareness, and personal responsibility can help us move forward without losing ourselves in the process.In this episode, we explore:Overthinking and Decision Paralysis: Why intelligent people get trapped in mental loops and how a brain accustomed to high-pressure decisions struggles with uncertainty.Externalized Sensemaking™: How putting thoughts on paper makes hidden patterns, conflicting beliefs, and assumptions visible so we can approach problems differently.Clarity, Accountability, and Personal Growth: Why understanding a problem isn’t the same as changing a behavior, and how repetition, responsibility, and self-compassion support meaningful change.Neurodivergence, Masking, and Self-Discovery: Brent’s experience of recognizing his neurodivergence later in life, becoming the person who kept everyone else stable, and learning what it means to prioritize himself.Breaking Patterns Through Curiosity and Connection: Why asking better questions, challenging our perceptions, and recognizing our shared humanity can transform relationships and the way we navigate life.Connect with Brent | Brent Lupia Coachinghttps://brentlupia.comConnect with Lisa | INSIDE THE EDGEhttps://lisalacy.com/inside-the-edgeWhat did you perform in order to survive?

What If Success Isn’t Enough? Conscious Living Practices with Steve Farrell
What happens when you achieve everything you thought you wanted, only to discover it isn’t the life you were meant to live? Lisa Lacy sits down with Steve Farrell, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, bestselling author, and co-founder of Humanity’s Team, to explore the journey from extraordinary financial success to spiritual awakening, conscious living, and discovering what truly makes life meaningful.From releasing fear and quieting the constant noise of achievement to recognizing our interconnectedness, Steve shares the personal experiences that transformed his understanding of success.
