A Superwoman Handbook

I was scammed (twice!)


Listen Later

In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of A Superwoman Handbook, I sit down with Zoey Michaels—a fierce truth-teller, storyteller, and now author of The Molten Truth—to share her harrowing experience of being scammed not once, but twice. With unflinching honesty, Zoey walks us through how emotional vulnerability, misplaced trust, and clever manipulation opened the door to a year-long emotional and financial nightmare. More than just a cautionary tale, this conversation explores the psychology of scams, the shame many survivors feel, and the power of finding your voice again.


Zoey doesn’t just recount what happened—she unpacks how it happened and why it matters. She shares practical tools from her book, including questionnaires for those being scammed and for the loved ones trying to help them. She also opens up about healing through storytelling, launching her new podcast The Molten Truth, and why forgiveness—especially of ourselves—is a critical step forward. Whether you or someone you love has experienced emotional manipulation, or you simply want to better understand the red flags, this episode is packed with wisdom, empathy, and hope.
