In this episode of the Master My Balance Podcast, we introduce the often-overlooked issue of financial abuse, a form of coercive control used in intimate partner relationships. Financial abuse can leave victims trapped in a cycle of dependency, with devastating long-term effects on their financial well-being and independence. We explore how this hidden form of abuse manifests, its legal recognition, and the lasting impact it has on victims—both during and after the relationship. Join us as we shed light on this critical topic and discuss the urgent need for better understanding and solutions.
