What if your life looked picture-perfect—but behind closed doors, it was anything but?

In this deeply honest episode of Bitch Sesh, we’re joined by Heather from Hello Divorce, who discovered Bitch Is a Bad Word after listening to the When Dating Hurts podcast and feeling an urgent pull to reach out. Her story—and the story of a friend living through hidden abuse—reminds us that emotional abuse doesn’t always look like abuse at first… and that leaving safely is never as simple as it sounds.

Together, we break down what financial abuse actually looks like, why couple’s therapy with an abuser is a huge red flag, and how Hello Divorce is helping women reclaim their power—one plan, one payment, one peaceful breath at a time.

Whether you’re living it, recovering from it, or trying to support someone else through it—this episode is for you.

 Inside This Episode:

• Why “just leave” isn’t realistic or safe advice
• The reality of financial abuse & post-separation control
• What not to do in therapy with a manipulative partner
• Why it’s okay—and smart—to leave via text or email
• The tools Hello Divorce offers for building a safe exit plan

You are not alone. You’re not crazy. And no—you’re not a bitch for doing what you need to do to be safe. We've got your back, Besties!
