About this listen

Today’s episode of For The Hayters shares Katie’s powerful story of growing up in a home filled with emotional abuse, scapegoating, and toxic family dynamics. For years, she believed she was the problem. She believed she was unlovable. She believed something was wrong with her.


After a lifetime of manipulation, guilt, and feeling invisible, Katie made the hardest choice she has ever made. She walked away from her parents and siblings to reclaim her peace and rebuild her life.


In this episode, Katie opens up about the shame, fear, and isolation that come with going no contact and the healing work that finally helped her see the truth. This is a story about survival, self worth, and the courage it takes to break a cycle that should never have existed.
