Chapter 12 - Chapter 7: The Betrayal

Tasha was consumed by feelings of shame and guilt, wondering how she could have been so stupid. She isolated herself from her friends and family, too embarrassed to tell them what had happened. But as she hit rock bottom, she realized that she had a choice - she could give up, or she could fight back. She started attending financial literacy workshops, learning about budgeting, investing, and entrepreneurship. She realized that she had been living in a fantasy world, and it was time to face reality. She began to pick up the pieces, starting with small, online sales of her designs. It wasn't much, but it was a start.
