🚩 EPISODE 15 IS LIVE 🚩
🎙️ Love Bombs and Lies: Romance Scammers

Romance scams don’t start with money.
They start with attention, validation, and connection — and they often show up when you’re already exhausted, healing, or dealing with co-parenting chaos.

In this episode of The After Wife, we break down:
• How romance scams actually work
• Why smart, emotionally aware women are targeted
• What it means when they don’t ask for money
• The long-game tactics, money mule setups, and grooming patterns
• How ongoing ex chaos can make anyone more vulnerable
• Why you don’t need a diagnosis, proof, or shame to walk away

If you’ve ever thought:
“I didn’t lose money, but something felt off”
“I should’ve known better”
“I feel embarrassed for trusting someone”

This episode is for you.

Episode 14 — When the Chaos Comes Back

The new year starts with hope… and then real life shows up.

In this episode of The After Wife, we’re talking about what happens after the fresh-start energy fades — when co-parenting issues resurface, boundaries get tested, and people who thrive on control sense vulnerability.

We dive into:

• Why January often brings conflict instead of calm

• How grief and loss sharpen clarity (and why “knowing the things” matters more than ever)

• The familiar patterns that reappear in co-parenting — just dressed up in a new calendar

• Why some personalities escalate when they sense stress or weakness

• How to stop explaining, start enforcing, and protect your peace

• Practical strategies for responding — not reacting — including structured communication and tools that help keep emotions out of the equation

This episode isn’t about being louder, tougher, or more accommodating.
It’s about clarity, preparedness, and choosing peace on purpose.

And at the end, we tease our next episode — child support — and invite you to send us any questions you have. No judgment. No topic off-limits.

Because peace doesn’t maintain itself — it has to be protected.

2025 tried us.
It taught us.
It stripped us down to the truth.

And instead of pretending it was all “worth it” or slapping on toxic positivity, we’re actually talking about:
• what surprised us
• what exhausted us
• what grew us
• what finally brought us peace
• the wins we’re carrying forward
• and the boundaries we’re taking into 2026

This episode isn’t about resolutions you’ll forget by February.
It’s about clarity, momentum, and choosing yourself — unapologetically.

If you survived a year that changed you…
If you’re closing chapters without bitterness but with boundaries…
If you’re done explaining why peace matters…

This one’s for you. 🖤
