Show Notes
In this powerful episode, we unpack the many faces of emotional abuse—how it hides in plain sight, especially when you're a people-pleaser with no clear boundaries. We’ll explore how childhood conditioning, trauma responses, and a need to be liked can make us vulnerable to emotional manipulation, criticism, and control—without even realising it.
You’ll walk away from this episode able to recognise red flags, reclaim your inner strength, and start setting boundaries that protect your emotional wellbeing. No shame. No blame. Just education, empowerment, and emotional safety—especially for mums navigating relationships, parenting, and self-worth.
🔔 If you've ever felt like you're "too sensitive" or constantly second-guess yourself—this episode is for you.
🎧 Tune in, take notes, and take your power back.
