In this no-filter, no-fluff episode, Amanda and Raven crack open the reality of what it means to survive emotional abuse, weaponized politeness, and the exhaustion of always holding it together.

Raven shares stories from her marriage, her trauma, and the nervous system breakdown that followed years of trying to be the “good wife” in a toxic dynamic.

Raven brings the fire, the validation, and the hard-earned insight as the two explore how women are dehumanized by culture, crushed by diet lies, and expected to thank abusers for crumbs of affection.

This episode hits hard on: – Anger as a sacred part of healing – Trauma responses disguised as daily life – Body shame, eating disorders, and diet culture grief – The myth of the perfect parent and what it costs us – Emotional immaturity in men and generational cycles of neglect – The violence of unsolicited advice – Panic attacks in safe spaces and the nervous system aftermath

If you’ve ever had a panic attack in peace, blamed yourself for abuse, or woke up realizing you’re done being nice—this one’s for you. Amanda and Raven are not here to play nice. They’re here to burn shit down and rebuild something honest.
