What happens when love slowly turns into manipulation?

Ginny Priem shares her journey from a successful corporate career and a life that looked “perfect” on the outside to a relationship filled with gaslighting, financial abuse, infidelity, and emotional trauma she didn’t recognize until it nearly broke her. Together, we unpack how narcissistic abuse hides in plain sight, why red flags are so easy to miss, and how stress and intuition can show up physically when something is deeply wrong.

This episode is about trusting your gut, understanding why “just leave” isn’t that simple, and learning how to rebuild your sense of self after betrayal. If you’ve ever questioned your reality, ignored your intuition, or wondered how someone ends up in a relationship like this... you are not alone. Plus, we explore what comes after leaving: breaking generational patterns, letting go of hustle culture, redefining success, and learning how to “unsubscribe” from people, habits, and expectations that no longer serve you.

Content note: This episode discusses infidelity, emotional abuse, and medical trauma.

Amy and Kat open with a sweet note from Kari, a listener sharing a unique discovery: a suction-cup window birdhouse that allows for a front-row seat to nature without disturbing the nest. She also shares one of her favorite takeaways from the podcast: "never suppressing a generous thought."

Amy then reminds us about the “Blessings Jar” that Kat gave her a few years ago! Such a good gift idea if you need something special for a friend. Speaking of friends, we need to be hanging out with our people more because a Geriatric Psychologist said this: “Stop waiting to feel social. You do not wait to feel inspired to brush your teeth. Socializing after 40 is no longer entertainment; it is Cognitive Maintenance. You must force interactions with the same cold discipline you use for a mortgage payment. If you do not pay the social rent, your reality eventually gets evicted." This leads to a conversation about @monthlymomsclub gatherings that Amy gets invited to—and how she NEEDS to start attending for “cognitive maintenance."

Tracy in Denver sent a voicemail sharing a transformative "mother-daughter" breakthrough that shifted their relationship from friction to connection: the simple act of asking, "Are you calling to vent, or are you calling for advice?" Amy and Kat discuss how this one question can save relationships, prevent "toe-stepping," and ensure everyone gets exactly what they need.

Movie Mike shares a baffling list who trashed the movies that gave them their big break. The list includes A-list actors like Jennifer Aniston who despises her role in "Leprechaun". As he tries to understand their reasoning, he gets triggered by certain actors who drag the roles that we all know and love. In the Movie Review, Mike and Kelsey talk about Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. It’s a passionate love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Mike shares how it’s different from most period dramas, the chemistry between the two leads and if the love story was good or they’re just two hot actors.  Plus how director Emerald Fennell has had a great 3-movie run to start her career. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Disclosure Day directed by Steven Spielberg where the question is: If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? Mike dives into how the movie might be soft launched, really finding out the truth of what is out there and other movies that have pushed ideas onto the public.
