- The Slow Boil
My name is Aria De Larivière… and this is The Slow Boil — a podcast about what happens when the pain builds quietly. When love is twisted into control. When survival becomes your full-time job.
I was just 15 when the boy I loved more than air stopped taking no for an answer.
By the time I realized what was happening, I was deep in it—A daughter. A broken church. A marriage that looked like safety but felt like captivity.
This isn’t easy to tell. But I’m telling it anyway.
For the girl who thought it was her fault. For the mother with the sock in the door. For you—if you’re still trying to make sense of it all.
The Slow Boil is raw. It’s unfiltered. And it’s for survivors.
New episodes coming soon, wherever you get your podcasts.

About Aria De Lariviere's podcast
From the publisher's feed
The Slow Boil is a raw and unfiltered look at teen pregnancy, sexual trauma, and domestic violence. This is a space where survivors support survivors—a place built on truth,…
resilience, and healing.
"I wish I had known that coercion is not consent. Back then, I didn’t realize how often I was being pressured into things I wasn’t ready for—just because I was afraid of losing him again, or worse, watching him cheat on me with my own friends. And he did. Eventually, he cheated on me with women who were supposed to become my daughter’s godmothers—proof that the abuse didn’t end with him.
He normalized betrayal and, in doing so, conditioned me to accept even worse and call it 'love.'
That’s manipulation, plain and simple. He used to say things like, 'Don’t ruin it,' anytime I tried to speak up or say no. And somehow, that phrase stuck with me. It followed me into my next relationship like a shadow—right alongside, 'This too shall pass.'
But now, with time and perspective, I can finally call it what it was. That wasn’t love. That was control."
