- Emotional abuse
- Financial abuse
- Domestic abuse
- Psychological manipulation
- Control and isolation
- Infidelity
- Divorce
- Trauma and recovery
- Self-worth erosion
- Impact of abuse on children
In this deeply moving episode of Radiant Resilience, Tawny sits down with Amanda J. Scott, author of Finding My Way Back to Me, to explore the often invisible realities of emotional and financial abuse—and the courage it takes to reclaim yourself after years of control.
After spending 17 years in an abusive marriage, Amanda shares how abuse can quietly normalize itself, slowly eroding self-worth until disrespect feels like love. Together, Tawny and Amanda unpack the hidden forms of abuse, the shame that keeps women stuck, the impact on children, and the pivotal moments that begin the journey back to self-trust and freedom.
This conversation is honest, compassionate, and empowering—offering validation for anyone who has ever felt small, silenced, or trapped, and reminding listeners that self-care is not selfish, boundaries are not cruel, and it is never too late to come home to yourself.
If you or someone you love has experienced emotional, financial, or psychological abuse, this episode offers awareness, hope, and a powerful reminder: you deserve respect, safety, and a life that feels like your own.
