Ever feel like love is just one giant, nerve-wracking gamble? Like the people who are supposed to love you the most end up hurting you beyond belief, and you’re left questioning your own reality? 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. Learn the actual steps to stay guarded enough to protect your heart, but open enough to receive real love again. I demand honesty on this show, and you’re about to get it.
SHOWNOTES

Advancing in love like a boxer: how to protect yourself without closing off
The context clues you must look for: how do they handle stress, family, friendships, conflict, and YOU when you’re sick?
The science: up to 63.3% of women with abuse will develop PTSD, and why psychological wounds are the slowest to heal
The cult of two: Why leaving is a miracle, not a failure
Why so many women opt out of dating, and the real risks of closing your heart for good
The story of Gisele Pellicault, and how finding love again after unimaginable trauma is still possible
Self-love after heartbreak: can the next chapter be the best one?
Why going no contact with parents or partners is sometimes the only way (you are NOT a snowflake for protecting your peace).
The four types of heartbreak: why you can feel grief for someone you never even dated
