In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Vlogging Pod, we sit down with award-winning author Mia Hanks to explore her journey of surviving nearly three decades in a covertly abusive marriage. Mia reveals the hidden dynamics of covert narcissism , a form of emotional and psychological abuse that often goes unnoticed by the outside world. From financial manipulation to coercive control, she shares how the subtle erosion of her independence eventually led to a breaking point that forced her to choose survival over silence.
We discuss the red flags she missed at 21, the toll on her physical health, the moment she found clarity, and the steps she now recommends for others planning to leave. With vulnerability and insight, Mia explains how therapy, validation, and the power of her voice, through her memoir Bride-Made became the anchors in her healing.
Whether you're in need of hope, guidance, or understanding, this episode reminds us that freedom is possible, and life can bloom again after the storm.
