274. Listener Storytime: When Staying Felt Safer Than Leaving

TW: This episode includes discussion of grief, miscarriage and emotional abuse.

This week, Ali is joined by a listener who shares her story of leaving a marriage rooted in cultural pressure, low self-worth, and years of emotional abuse. The conversation covers the internal voice she ignored while engaged, the compounding grief that finally pushed her out the door, and what it's looked like to rebuild on the other side.

This week's Media Mention is a video by @zkiaba on TikTok, where she pushes back on the idea that men are in a social crisis, arguing that what we're seeing is the first generation of men experiencing life without systematic advantage.

In Updates, Ali is recording live from Greece on her ninth group girls trip with FMH Travel.
