In this powerful episode of Bitch is a Bad Word, Azadeh dives into the dark reality of emotional addiction, toxic relationships, and trauma bonding. If you've ever felt stuck in a love that hurts more than it heals, this one’s for you.


We’re talking drug dens, manipulation, heartbreak, and the dangerous high of trauma-bonded love. Azadeh opens up about navigating emotional abuse, sobriety, codependency, and why your heart keeps going back to what nearly broke you. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s everything you need to hear to break free.
