MAGA Are A Group of Domestic Abuse Survivors Who Don't Know It---YET
In this raw and unflinching episode, we unpack the connections between trauma, manipulation, and political allegiance. We explore how patterns of control, gaslighting, and coercion—hallmarks of domestic abuse—can mirror the dynamics within extreme political movements. This episode is for anyone trying to understand the deep psychological hooks that keep people trapped in harmful systems, even when they don’t realize it. Expect honest conversations, critical reflections, and tools for recognizing trauma where it hides.

There's No Contact With My Children's Other Parent: Here's How To Keep Moving
When co-parenting doesn't just break down but communication with your child’s other parent is impossible due to tactics of coercive control and narcissistic abuse, the challenges are amplified—especially for parents supporting transgender children. In this episode, we explore practical strategies for maintaining stability, advocating for your child, and moving forward. Drawing on the insights of Dr. Ramani, (www.doctor-ramani.com) a leading expert on narcissistic abuse, we discuss setting boundaries, managing emotional triggers, and navigating the unique complexities of identity, affirmation, and safety in families with transgender children. This episode offers compassionate guidance and real-world tools for resilience, recovery, clarity, and protecting both your well-being and your child’s.
