About this listen

What happens when harm hides behind the familiar? In this episode, Dr. Leslie unpacks the kinds of abuse we often miss—because they don’t look like abuse at all. From marriages that slowly erode a woman’s purpose, to sicknesses that are weaponized for control, to siblings whose cruelty is dismissed as rivalry, and deception that masquerades as faith or love—this conversation confronts what we excuse, rename, or spiritualize. This is not about sensational stories. It’s about the quiet suffering that goes unnamed because we never learned to name it. Because the truth is, not all abuse looks like bruises. And if we’re not careful, we’ll keep calling it something else.
