Trigger Warnings:
→ Sexual manipulation
→ Bullying & emotional abuse
→ Grooming
→ Discussion of SA (not graphic)
→ Trauma responses & dissociation
→ Consent confusion
In this episode, Ashley and Lizza unravel the twisted roots of care that was actually control. They speak on grooming cloaked in affection, and the psychic bruises left by those who masked manipulation as love.
This is a raw remembering, of guilt that doesn’t belong to us, of desire distorted by coercion, of boundaries we weren’t taught how to hold.
They trace the quiet courage it takes to name what was taken… and the wildfire of truth that comes when you finally do.
No masks here. Just truth told in candlelight. This is not about closure. It’s about fire.
