In this powerful episode of Women Talk Fierce, Tammy, Nikki, and Keira dive into a topic every woman in business will face at some point: betrayal. Whether it comes from a client, a coach, a business partner, or even a friend, betrayal can shake your confidence, challenge your boundaries, and force you to reevaluate how you show up in your work and relationships. As three women in three different stages of life, balancing motherhood and business, we unpack the real-life experiences that shaped us. From broken trust and blurred boundaries to NDA-protected client drama and emotionally draining coaching relationships, nothing is off limits. In this episode, we discuss: • The difference between a true relationship and a transactional business arrangement • What happens when clients cross professional boundaries • How being an empath in business can both serve you and hurt you • Trauma responses after being burned professionally • The fine line between giving generously and being taken advantage of • Rebuilding trust after betrayal • Why resentment only hurts you, not them • How to set clear business boundaries around communication, pricing, and access • The mindset shift from employee thinking to CEO ownership • Protecting your time, energy, and emotional well-being as a solopreneur Keira shares how a painful client experience changed how she handles new relationships, communication hours, and pricing. Nikki opens up about being burned by a coach and what it taught her about value and expectations. Tammy reflects on decades of giving, being taken advantage of, and learning to release resentment without regret. This conversation is honest, relatable, and deeply relevant for women entrepreneurs navigating business relationships.
