Marissa sits down with Laura Richards, speech therapist turned podcaster and host of That's Where I'm At Podcast, for a candid conversation about her 33-year marriage and the emotional abuse she didn't have language for until near the end. Laura shares how she started noticing the patterns, what gaslighting actually felt like from the inside, and how she's rebuilding her life nine months into her divorce.
They talk about identifying safe friendships, why vulnerability (not just community) is what helps people heal, and how Laura uses journaling, walking, and humor as part of her recovery. It's an honest, often funny, always grounded conversation about what it takes to name what happened to you and move forward anyway.
A note: this episode discusses emotional abuse and relationship trauma. If it brings anything up for you, please consider reaching out to a trusted friend or a professional for support.
One thing worth flagging: the transcript uses "narcissist" fairly loosely throughout as Laura's own personal shorthand for her ex, which is fine as her lived description.
