So many women don't leave their relationships, not because they don't want to, but because they don't even know what's happening to them has a name.

In this episode, I'm joined by Shalina Lodhia, joining us all the way from Sydney, Australia, for one of the most important conversations this show has had. We go deep on domestic abuse in all its forms - physical, emotional, financial, - and what it actually looks like in real women's lives, especially when culture and community are involved.

We talk about:

• Why so many women don't recognize it as abuse while they're in it
• The role culture and upbringing play in normalizing toxic dynamics
• The emotional complexity of leaving vs. staying
• Having support to leave vs. staying
• The grief, guilt, and identity shifts that come in those situations

This one is raw, honest, and long, because this topic deserves the time. Whether you're in it, out of it, or helping someone you love navigate it, this episode will meet you where you are.

The divorce support space has a problem and it's affecting real people going through one of the hardest times of their lives. Today I'm talking about why the lack of regulation in divorce coaching matters, what questions you should ask before working with anyone, and how to protect yourself from well-meaning but unqualified advice.

I'm also breaking down the myth of "fair" in divorce. Spoiler: it doesn't exist, and waiting for it will keep you in limbo. Instead, I'll show you what to focus on to actually reach resolution and move forward. Whether you're considering divorce, in the middle of one, or helping a friend through theirs, this episode gives you practical insight you won't want to miss.

Here's what nobody tells you about dating after divorce: YOU are the only person who gets to decide when you're ready. Not your friends, not your family, not some arbitrary timeline. In this episode, I'm sharing my own post-divorce relationship mistake and the game-changing lesson it taught me—trust yourself and honor those red flags the moment they appear. We dive into why your instincts are sharper than you think, how to recognize when something's off, and why leaving at the first red flag isn't being picky, it's being wise. You've already survived one relationship ending. You don't owe anyone a second chance to prove they're wrong for you. This is about reclaiming your power, setting your own timeline, and never ignoring that voice in your head again.
