About Surviving the Spin

Surviving the Spin is a space for honest conversations about rebuilding yourself after emotional upheaval, distorted narratives, and relationships that left you questioning your own reality. Hosted by author Kathryn Gaweda, the podcast blends personal reflection, lived experience, and quiet resilience to explore what healing really looks like — without rushing it or sugarcoating it. If you’ve ever felt unheard, misunderstood, or forced to untangle someone else’s version of your story, this is a place to breathe, listen, and remember who you are.

   It’s Not That Deep! (Season 3, Episode 15)

   This week we're talking about what happens when ordinary actions are assigned hidden motives, assumptions become facts, and years of conflict can make even the simplest interaction feel suspicious. Because sometimes there really IS more going on beneath the surface. But sometimes? Someone just wanted something from the fucking kitchen.

   Okay… That’s a Stretch (Episode 14 Season 3)

   The kids are being unusually quiet. A text doesn't get answered fast enough. Someone says no to switching parenting days. Pretty normal stuff, right? Oh, you sweet innocent people. We're talking about assumptions, escalation, and what happens when someone fills in the blanks themselves—or simply refuses to accept the answer they've been given. 🎙️ Surviving the Spin — Season 3, Episode 14 Well, That Escalated Quickly Recognize the Pattern. Rewrite the Ending.

   Answer the Damn Question! (Episode 13 Season 3)

   Two kids are worried Dad will forget an appointment. One pair of glasses has been waiting almost a YEAR to be paid for. Simple problems. Simple questions. So naturally… WE’RE TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE ACTUAL FUCKING QUESTION. This week on Surviving the Spin, we're talking about defensiveness, deflection, trust—and how quickly a simple conversation can go completely off the rails.
