218: When Your "Bro" Betrays You

Hey girl hey 👋🏽 It’s your favorite homegirl Koereyelle, and in this episode of the Girl Stop Playin’ Podcast , I’m finally saying what I’ve been holding in for YEARS. This ain’t no subliminal.

I’m not sugarcoating it. I’m telling my truth — unfiltered, unedited, and unapologetic .

If you’ve been following me for a minute, then you already know I’ve hinted at a betrayal that broke my spirit. But I never named names… until now. 💔 In this episode, I’m sharing the full story behind what really happened with David Shands of the Social Proof Podcast — from how we met, to how he used my ideas, and how I found out he was publicly telling lies about how he “helped” me.

Let’s be clear: nobody gave me this. I worked for everything I’ve built — and this episode is me reclaiming my power and letting go of what’s been weighing on my spirit for way too long. 💡 What You’ll Hear: How our friendship started over 10 years ago — and where it all went left The podcast conference idea I brought to him… and how he ran with it solo 🤯 Why I kept quiet for so long — and what finally made me speak up The difference between being messy vs. being honest A reminder that loyalty and integrity matter — no matter how "poppin" you are This ain’t about drama — it’s about healing .

It’s about honoring my own voice. And it’s about reminding women everywhere that you can be successful AND still stand up for yourself when you’ve been wronged.
