If you’re in a narcissistic relationship and you keep asking why you haven’t left yet, this episode will hit the real reason without shaming you. 

In abusive relationships, “staying” is often risk management, not love: your nervous system is tracking retaliation, financial control, housing, childcare, and the consequences of moving without leverage.

Meaghan Webster breaks down why fear shows up even when you’re clear, how coercive control keeps women stuck, and what actually changes your exit path.

You’ll learn the difference between emotional exit work and financial autonomy so you can stop blaming yourself and start taking the next that makes sense for you
