At first, it feels like a dream — intoxicating affection, overwhelming attention, a sense of being finally seen. It begins with fireworks — a symphony of promises, affection spun like silk, a flood of words we longed to hear. But sometimes, what feels like magic is the prelude to heartbreak and behind the whirlwind is a different reality: love bombing isn’t love; it’s manipulation dressed in devotion.

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the beautiful lie — exploring how love bombing traps our hearts, fractures our self-trust, and leaves us questioning what was ever real. Together, we’ll dive into the emotional aftermath, the way it sweeps us off our feet only to leave us standing in ruins. We’ll explore how manipulation masquerades as devotion, how illusions erode self-trust and we will learn some warning signs going forward.
