Cognitive dissonance is one of the most powerful forces keeping women stuck in toxic relationships. It’s the reason you doubt yourself, excuse red flags, and feel like you're going crazy—while holding onto hope.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver explains how cognitive dissonance plays out in toxic marriages, narcissistic relationships, and parallel parenting—and why it leads directly to burnout.

You’ll learn:

  • How cognitive dissonance causes confusion, guilt, and emotional shutdown

  • The sneaky link between toxic relationships and physical burnout

  • Why high-functioning women blame themselves—and how to stop

  • How to begin seeing the truth clearly (even when it hurts)

  • Practical steps for healing your mind, body, and boundaries

🎧 This one is raw, real, and validating for any midlife mom wondering, “Is it really that bad, or is it me?”
