What happens when love slowly turns into manipulation?

Ginny Priem shares her journey from a successful corporate career and a life that looked “perfect” on the outside to a relationship filled with gaslighting, financial abuse, infidelity, and emotional trauma she didn’t recognize until it nearly broke her. Together, we unpack how narcissistic abuse hides in plain sight, why red flags are so easy to miss, and how stress and intuition can show up physically when something is deeply wrong.

This episode is about trusting your gut, understanding why “just leave” isn’t that simple, and learning how to rebuild your sense of self after betrayal. If you’ve ever questioned your reality, ignored your intuition, or wondered how someone ends up in a relationship like this... you are not alone. Plus, we explore what comes after leaving: breaking generational patterns, letting go of hustle culture, redefining success, and learning how to “unsubscribe” from people, habits, and expectations that no longer serve you.

Content note: This episode discusses infidelity, emotional abuse, and medical trauma.
