In this episode, we get real about that gut-twisting question so many of us have asked while stuck in a confusing connection. We break down the science behind trauma bonds, attachment styles, and toxic relationship cycles—and how they keep you spiraling, second-guessing your instincts, and blaming yourself when something feels off.

We talk about how manipulation can make you doubt your own reality, why your nervous system stays attached even when your mind knows better, and how past wounds can cloud (or sharpen) your perception. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re overreacting… or finally seeing things clearly—this one’s for you.

Welcome to episode one — where we introduce ourselves, explain how this podcast came to be, and set the tone for everything that’s coming next.

In this episode, we talk about why we decided to turn our lived experiences into honest conversations about trauma, healing, relationships, self-care, and what it really means to be a modern woman navigating dating, friendships, growth, and life transitions. This isn’t a “we have it all figured out” podcast — it’s a “we’re learning as we go” podcast.

Consider this your sneak peek into the energy of the show: real stories, humor, vulnerability, therapy talk, and unfiltered conversations that feel like a voice note from your best friends. Future episodes will dive deeper into dating dynamics, emotional patterns, boundaries, healing journeys, and the messy, beautiful process of becoming your best self.

If you’ve ever laughed through the pain, questioned your patterns, or felt like healing doesn’t have to be so serious — you’re in the right place.
