Why is it so hard to leave a toxic relationship, even when you know it’s unhealthy?

In this episode, I break down three core reasons people stay stuck in toxic dynamics and why willpower, logic, or “just leaving” isn’t enough. This conversation is about self-worth, emotional conditioning, and the internal shifts that must happen before real change is possible.

If you’ve ever felt ashamed for staying, conflicted about leaving, or disconnected from yourself in a relationship, this episode will help you understand what’s really keeping you there, and how awareness becomes the first step toward freedom.

Yes, this finale is late, but the lessons hit right on time. I’m closing out the season by walking back through everything we learned, the real conversations we had, and the lived experiences my guests shared that shifted something in all of us. I’m grateful for every voice, every story, and every listener who showed up and grew right alongside me.

And because this season tied in closely with rediscovery and healing, I’m leaving you with something that takes those lessons even deeper: my brand-new video series and workbook. If this season spoke to you, this resource will take you to the next level. https://pensight.com/x/victoriab/ajourneyofrediscovery

This one’s personal. In this episode, I’m speaking directly from the perspective of a daughter who no longer has the privilege of calling, hugging, or even arguing with her mother. If you’ve ever taken your mom’s presence for granted, or need a reminder of just how sacred that bond is, lean in.

I’m sharing raw truths, lessons learned through loss, and a powerful reminder: don’t wait until it’s too late to appreciate what you have. This is for anyone who still has a mother in their life, cherish her while you can.
