How to navigate conflict. How to get through something hard without it feeling like the end of the world. In this solo episode

This week it is just Rachel.No guest. No story from someone else's life. Just an honest conversation about something a lot of women are carrying around right now and not telling anyone. Not I am sad. Not I am struggling. Just. Nothing. A kind of flatness that settles in so quietly and so gradually that by the time you notice it, you cannot remember when it started. In this episode, Rachel talks about what emotional numbness actually feels like from the inside. Why it happens, and why it

Coercive control doesn't bruise. It doesn't photograph. It doesn't trigger emergency calls or leave marks on the world that the world can see. It operates through erosion. So gradual that the person living inside it often does not recognise what is happening until they have lost themselves entirely.Christine Dillard lived inside that erosion for seventeen years. She was a Fortune 500 director. A single mother of two. The woman everyone at work knew as strong, capable and unshakeable. Behind

You would never let your car run out of fuel and expect it to keep going. You would never skip the service for three years and then wonder why the engine is making that noise. And yet most of us do exactly that to ourselves. We run on empty. We ignore the warning lights. We keep going until we are snapping at the people we love, crying in the supermarket over nothing and wondering when we became this person. In this solo episode, Rachel talks about why high-functioning women consistently put

Everyone needed her to be okay. So she held it together, functioned, achieved, built a life. And for ten years, the grief went underground and stayed there. It didn't surface in a therapy room or a quiet moment of reflection. It surfaced in a training room during her clinical counselling internship, in a question about
