Episode 26: Kasey Rogers - Breaking Chains: The Unseen Impact of Financial Abuse

In this episode we're delving into a topic that has remained in the shadows for far too long – the devastating impact of financial abuse.

My extraordinary guest, Kasey Rogers, is an author who courageously penned a memoir that lays bare her personal journey through the tangled web of financial abuse. This powerful memoir not only recounts her story but also uncovers the heart-wrenching truth about how, after leaving a thriving career in commercial film to raise her twins, her sense of self slowly eroded as her husband tightened his grip on their finances.

But the tale takes an unexpected twist. Just as she mustered the strength to plan her exit from a 24-year marriage marked by control and manipulation, her husband faced a dire diagnosis – Stage 4B Esophageal cancer and a broken neck.

Today, we'll journey through her memoir, a story that offers not just a personal narrative but also profound insights into the often-overlooked connection between domestic and financial abuse.

Beyond the pages of her memoir, Kasey's commitment to raising awareness shines through. She's currently in pre-production for a documentary titled "I Know Why She Stayed," shedding a much-needed spotlight on the rarely discussed issue of financial abuse – one of the major barriers that trap countless women in toxic relationships.
