What starts as a convo about cancel culture turns into one of our most vulnerable episodes yet. We open up about our personal experiences with domestic violence—how it starts, why it’s so hard to leave, and the truth behind the statistics.
From love bombing and control to isolation, financial abuse, and emotional manipulation, this episode sheds light on what abuse actually looks like—especially for moms. If you’ve ever felt trapped, ashamed, or unsure whether what you’re going through is “bad enough,” this is for you.
⚠️ Trigger Warning: We discuss domestic violence, emotional abuse, and controlling relationships. Please prioritize your safety.
💬 We Talk About:
- The “art vs. artist” debate (Kanye, JK Rowling, etc.)
- Real talk: gaslighting, love bombing, and control
- Why women stay—and how hard it is to leave
- How kids pick up on more than we realize
- What finally made us leave
- The system’s failure to protect survivors
