Episode 10: Coercive Control - The Invisible Chains

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this week we’re pulling back the curtain on something that isn’t talked about enough — coercive control. It’s the kind of abuse that doesn’t always leave bruises, but it leaves deep, invisible scars.

We break down what coercive control really looks like — emotional, financial, digital, and psychological manipulation — and share how it seeps into everyday life. From walking on eggshells to the system that still doesn’t recognize the harm, we’re sharing our own stories and the truths too many survivors know too well.

💜 This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “Is this really abuse?”
If it’s hurting your soul — it’s enough.

You are not crazy.
You are not alone.
You are not to blame.
💜 You are stronger than you think.
