Surviving the Spin is a space for honest conversations about rebuilding yourself after emotional upheaval, distorted narratives, and relationships that left you questioning your own reality.

    It’s not about the decision… it’s about who’s in control of it. (Episode 4 Season 2)

    In this episode of Surviving the Spin, we’re talking aboutWhat happens when simple parenting decisions… turn into full-blown situations? From moving homes and choosing schools… to setting boundaries and finding ways to communicate… everything starts off reasonable. Until it’s not. Because sometimes it’s not about the decision being made… it’s about how someone reacts when they’re not the onemaking it. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, ‘how did this become a whole thing?’ This episode is for you. Because at some point… it stops being about the situation…”

Because at some point…it stops being about the situation… and starts being about the pattern.”

    Great Timing Isn't It? (Episode 2 Season 2)

    “In this episode of Surviving the Spin, we’re diving into two stories where the timing of everything feels just a little too perfect. From co-parenting struggles and emotional pressure… to sudden emergencies that only seem to happen at very specific moments… different situations, same pattern. Because at some point, it stops being coincidence… and starts becoming something you can’t ignore.”

    Patterns Don't Lie (Episode 10 Season Finale)

    Different stories. Different people. Same level of nonsense. In this episode, we’re getting into two listener submissions that go from questionable… to ‘there’s no way you just said that.’ And somewhere between ‘the landlord was chasing me with a knife’ and ‘we don’t need a marriage license’… …it becomes very clear: It’s not bad luck. It’s a pattern.”

    Excuses, Lies… and 3.5% of Nothing (Episode 9)

    ⚠️ Disclaimer The stories shared in this episode are based on personal experiences and have been adapted for storytelling purposes. Names and identifying details have been changed to protect privacy. This podcast is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute professional, legal, or psychological advice. In this episode of Surviving the Spin, we’re talking about something that doesn’t always show up the way you expect… Because manipulation isn’t always loud. It isn’t always obvious. And sometimes—it comes from people you trust the most. Today’s episode shares two real-life stories: One about a sister, a lifetime of patterns, and the moment everything finally clicked. And another about co-parenting, empty promises… and a very questionable offer of “3.5% of a business.” Both stories have one thing in common— that turning point where excuses stop making sense, and the truth becomes impossible to ignore. If you’ve ever found yourself: constantly forgiving without real changequestioning your own instinctsor feeling guilty for wanting distance from someone who hurts youThis episode is for you. Because recognizing the pattern is the first step… and once you see it—you can’t unsee it.

    Two Stories. One Red Flag Most People Miss (Episode 8)

    In this episode of Surviving the Spin, we’re doing something a little different. I’m sharing two real stories—one about a boss who seemed supportive but had other plans, and another about a relationship that looked romantic on the surface but hid something much deeper. At first, they seem completely different… but they both reveal the same red flag that most people miss. We break down what happens when words don’t match actions, how subtle patterns can go unnoticed, and why paying attention to consistency matters more than anything someone says. Plus, we talk about how to move forward after betrayal—without losing yourself in the process. Because sometimes the biggest warning signs aren’t loud… they’re quiet, repeated, and easy to explain away.

    When Accountability Turns Into Blame (Episode 7)

    In this episode of Surviving The Spin, we explore what happens when simple accountability triggers immediate deflection. Through two real-life stories — one involving a high-conflict divorce and another involving co-parenting dynamics — we unpack how manipulation can show up as exaggeration, blame-shifting, and narrative control. This week’s Red Flag of the Week focuses on what to watch for when someone refuses responsibility and turns the spotlight back on you. Awareness is the first step to stepping out of the spin.
