In this first episode of a four-part series, I walk listeners through subtle, often overlooked forms of abuse - specifically psychological abuse, emotional abuse, and coercive control.

Through real-life stories and gentle reflection, I name the quiet, soul-erasing patterns many survivors were taught to normalize.

This episode is for the woman still trying to figure out if it “counts.” And for the friend, mother, or pastor watching someone slowly disappear - and wondering why.
