About this listen

Break free from emotional abuse and manipulation with the 7-step RELEASE Method. Learn to recognize red flags, rebuild confidence, and rise from toxic love—stronger than ever.

If you’re still holding on, hoping they’ll change—listen to this before you lose yourself completely.

If you’ve walked on eggshells, unsure which version of your partner you’ll get…If you’ve questioned your worth…If you’ve stayed too long, hoping things would change…You’re not alone—and it’s not your fault.

Toxic relationships often start with charm and connection—even with someone who seems perfect. But over time, that charm hides control, gaslighting, and emotional instability. You begin to question your reality, silence your voice, and shrink your needs to keep the peace. And sometimes the abuse is harder to name—because they never laid a hand on you.

Even if they don’t hit you, it’s still abuse.

Whether it was with a narcissist, a controlling partner, or someone emotionally unstable—even with sociopathic traits—the pain is real. And the scars run deep.

But deep down, you know: you were made for more.

Through tools, personal stories, and insight, you’ll learn to:

Spot red flags of manipulation and control

Break toxic cycles and stop repeating patterns

Rebuild confidence and reconnect with your true self

Set guilt-free boundaries and honor your needs

Release shame and reclaim your voice

Heal and open your heart to healthy love

Whether you're still in it or healing after, this book meets you where you are—with no shame, no judgment, and no fluff. Just truth, hope, and a way forward.

You don’t need permission to leave. You just need the courage to take the first step.

It’s time to RELEASE what no longer serves you—and rise from the ashes, stronger than what tried to destroy you.

I got this audiobook for a friend who’s going through a painful divorce after years in a toxic relationship. He told me it was like someone finally saw him, and I could hear the shift in his voice after just a few chapters. It helped his name the emotional abuse he’d endured, without shame or judgment. The 7-step RELEASE Method is powerful and practical, but what really stood out was the tone: compassionate, clear, and fiercely empowering. It doesn’t sugarcoat the damage of manipulation or control, but it also doesn’t leave you in that pain. It offers a way forward, step by step.

empowering, validating, and exactly what he neede

This one surprised me—in the best way. I tried the “three deep breaths before responding” tip during a tricky phone call and felt totally different. It helped me stay calm, clear, and not spiral.

Whether you're recovering or just trying to communicate better, this book’s practical, not preachy. Real tools for real life.

This book was powerful. And I mean that! There is so much toxicity in life. It divides and causes pain, but there is another way. This book helped me break the invisible chain that I have with some toxic people in my life. Although they’re no longer allowed in my life, I still let the thought of them bother me. The acronym R E L E A S E that the author uses was an impactful way to help me remember how to preserve myself. Great listen!

This book put words to everything I couldn’t explain to friends or even therapists. I always thought, “Well, they didn’t hurt me,” but this helped me see the mental and emotional toll for what it really was. No judgment, no pressure—just validation, clarity, and tools to start moving forward. I’ve listened to parts more than once, and each time it reminds me I’m not alone and I deserve better.

This book came into my life at just the right time. I’ve learned so much about myself and the unhealthy relationships of both my past and present, that have affected me more than I realized. It helped me recognize red flags of manipulation and control, and as I read, I started to clearly see patterns and people in my life that were truly toxic. Setting boundaries has always been hard for me, but this book gave me the confidence to start choosing myself. It made me realize how easy it is to get stuck in toxic cycles, especially when you start to believe you can’t or shouldn’t let go. What I liked most was the gentle guidance on healing afterward with no shame, no judgment, just love and encouragement. It gave me hope and reminded me that life really can get better once we find the courage to break free and choose ourselves. Helped me conquer the fear of leaving and motivated me to choose more to my life.
