Episode Synopsis


In this week’s episode, Lauren and Bree sit down with Maria to explore how growing up in dysfunction can shape the relationships we choose as adults. Maria shares her experience of entering an abusive partnership and seeking support from someone she believed was a friend—only to realize that this relationship, too, was deeply unhealthy and ultimately exacerbated her situation.

Maria also opens up about the ongoing challenges she faces as her ex attempts to use their children as leverage. Through therapy and meaningful self-work, she has gained clarity about her worth, cut ties with harmful influences, and found renewed strength as she navigates co-parenting and stands up for herself.
