S1E8: Uncorking Control: Navigating Power Dynamics in Relationships
Hey wine lovers! Amy and Sadie here, and in this episode, we're "Uncorking Control: Navigating Power Dynamics in Relationships."
We're diving deep into some seriously sensitive stuff, talking about everything from those subtle red flags to full-blown controlling behaviour. We'll be sharing our own and helping you spot those warning signs before it's too late.
Plus, get ready for our "Wine and the Why" segment! Sadie's chosen a delicious Bordeaux and some killer burger bombs, and Amy's rating the pairing. We're also talking about the real impact of controlling relationships, the emotional and psychological toll, and even coercive control.
We'll be discussing powerful documentaries like "Worst Ex Ever" and "My Wife, My Abuser," and sharing resources to help. Let's get real, have some laughs, and maybe even shed a tear or two, all while sipping some great wine. Cheers!
