"18 Years Studying Heartbreak" How to Spot a Dangerous Man & STILL Stay Open to Love | Matt Hussey PT 1

Ever feel like love is just one giant, nerve-wracking gamble? Like the people who are supposed to love you the most end up hurting you beyond belief, and you’re left questioning your own reality? Trust me, you are not alone. In this raw and must-listen episode of Women of Impact, I sit down with Matthew Hussey, relationship coach, New York Times bestselling author, and the straight-talking Brit who has helped millions of women get real about love, self-worth, and healing after trauma.

Matthew and I are diving deep into the sneaky world of coercive control, manipulation, and narcissistic relationships. We’re uncovering why nearly half of women find themselves with controlling partners, what keeps so many of us stuck in toxic cycles, and the miracle of breaking free. Learn the actual steps to stay guarded enough to protect your heart, but open enough to receive real love again. I demand honesty on this show, and you’re about to get it.
