IIE Podcast, Exploring Relationships Red Flags Series, episode 8, Behavioural Patterns and Personality Traits, with Rie Pearson

Jealousy is not Love. When someone projects their emotions onto you and says "I'm only like this because of you" that is a red flag. All feelings are valid. We have given emotions negative and positive labels. It is not the emotion that is negative or positive. It is what we do with that emotion.

Emotional abuse generally focuses on attacking self-esteem and manipulating

sanity. Both are destructive.

Things Women don’t Talk about is a series in Isaya's Inspiring Evenings Podcast, made of conversations with a woman guest around topics seldom discussed, whether difficult or "not serious enough" to be broadcasted, mundane or sacred, dark or light, taboo or fun, because no subject is off the table!

These conversations happen live and are then shared in my podcast. And anywhere else the guest feels like sharing!

Annie Boon is a Crisis Navigator™, speaker, and founder of transformative spaces for women navigating betrayal, abuse, emotional collapse, and profound life change.

She works with women when life fractures and clarity feels impossible. Annie’s gift is not urgency or answers, but presence.

With a rare capacity to remain calm inside chaos, she holds emotional complexity without flinching and guides women back to stability, self-trust, and grounded decisionmaking. Annie doesn’t fix, rescue, or direct. She creates the conditions where clarity emerges and women reconnect with their own inner authority.

With a grounded, compassionate presence and a wicked sense of humour, she brings lightness into heavy spaces while telling the truth. Her no-bullshit approach meets women exactly where they are, helping them become the calm in their own storm.

Drawing from lived experience and years of working in high-stakes emotional crises, Annie blends deep emotional intelligence with steady leadership, while being fiercely private and deeply respectful.

She is the creator of the NAVIGATE Method™ and the founder of HUSH Festival™. Annie doesn’t save women. She walks beside them until they remember they were never powerless.

IIE Podcast, Presenting the Hush Festival, with Annie Boon

Come listen to the presentation of the 2026 edition of the Hush Festival, happening May 11th-16th, fully online. A festival like no other, for women only!

IIE Podcast, Exploring Relationships Red Flags Series, episode 1, with Rie Pearson

A powerful and necessary conversation about awareness, accountability, and recognising the warning signs before they become wounds. In this first episode of the series, we begin exploring the red-flag behaviours that often precede abuse, the uncomfortable truths about violence in relationships, and why these patterns are so frequently minimised or misunderstood. Together, we begin shifting the conversation away from victim-blaming and toward real accountability, early intervention, and creating safer, more conscious relationships for everyone.
