In this deeply personal episode, host Trina Stewart opens up about one of the hardest lessons of her life m loving someone lost in addiction, ignoring her intuition, and finding the courage to finally let go.

“When You Finally Let Them” explores what happens when love collides with betrayal, and how trusting your gut becomes the ultimate act of self-protection.

Through raw storytelling and reflection, Trina shares the painful truth of returning to toxic relationships, the psychology behind trauma bonding, and the power of recognizing behavioral evidence over time, because actions always reveal what words try to hide.

You’ll also hear insights from trauma experts like Dr. Ramani Durvasula and Dr. Gabor Maté, and how Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” theory became a turning point in reclaiming peace and freedom.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever stayed too long, believed empty promises, or struggled to walk away from chaos. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t happen when you get closure, it begins when you finally let them… and let yourself.

Topics Covered:

• Betrayal trauma and trusting your gut
• The cycle of returning to an abuser (trauma bonding)
• Loving someone with addiction
• Behavioral evidence over time
• The Mel Robbins “Let Them” theory
