In this powerful and deeply important episode, Coach Simone Kelly brings together an incredible panel of women to have an honest conversation about toxic love and abusive relationships — and how to recognize the red flags before it’s too late.

Joined by Jameelah Trimble (Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist), Coach Rochelle Schwartz (Relationship Coach), Yali Giovanni (Holistic Wellness Practitioner), and Carquella Clemons, Simone and her guests shed light on the many hidden forms of abuse and control that people often mistake for love or concern.

You’ll hear stories and insights about how abuse can start subtly — from emotional manipulation and financial control to digital tracking and religious guilt — and how victims can begin reclaiming their power and self-worth. This episode is a reminder that love should never hurt, and healing begins when you start to see the truth.

Key Takeaways:

• Recognize the less obvious forms of abuse: emotional, digital, financial, and spiritual

• Understand how control and manipulation slowly take root

• Learn how isolation and guilt are used to maintain dominance

• Hear from survivors who found strength to rebuild their lives

• Get connected to support and resources for safety and healing
