Trust me, you are not alone. In this raw and must-listen episode of Women of Impact, I sit down with Matthew Hussey, relationship coach, New York Times bestselling author, and the straight-talking Brit who has helped millions of women get real about love, self-worth, and healing after trauma.Matthew and I are diving deep into the sneaky world of coercive control, manipulation, and narcissistic relationships. We’re uncovering why nearly half of women find themselves with controlling partners, what keeps so many of us stuck in toxic cycles, and the miracle of breaking free.
