In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are opening up in a raw conversation about domestic violence. 

In this episode, Jordin is joined by special guest Dr. Kelly Lamoreaux to discuss a critical but often overlooked topic: domestic violence and coercive control. Jordin and Kelly dive into the many forms abuse can take—beyond just the physical—and the emotional, financial, and psychological impacts that often go unnoticed. They address common misconceptions around domestic violence, especially among high-achieving women, and explore how even subtle forms of manipulation and gaslighting are present in many relationships. They also share their personal stories of domestic abuse.

Key topics include:

• The different facets of domestic violence and coercive control.
• Personal experiences with domestic violence.
• How abuse can affect anyone, regardless of success or strength.
• Recognizing red flags in relationships and the subtle ways power dynamics play out.
• The importance of breaking the silence and supporting victims.
• How to identify and reclaim your power in your personal relationships.
