In this episode, Jessa shares her story of escaping a 17-year emotionally abusive marriage to an RCMP officer. Raised in a Christian home and married young, she opens up about the subtle and not so subtle signs of narcissistic abuse, the loss of people she once called family, and what it means to finally feel safe. Through honest reflection, Jessa sheds light on coercion, the importance of boundaries, and the healing that comes from being truly seen. Her story is one of faith, resilience, and rediscovering worth outside of control and fear.
