This is the first time I tell the full story of my experience with financial abuse. Because 1 in 6 women experience it, and most think it'll NEVER happen to them. Because I, a psychologist, was one of the 3 in 5 women who don't see it until AFTER they leave the relationship. Because I've sat down with dozens of women who are experiencing the same things I did and they're NOT calling it financial abuse.  They're calling it: "The economy's bad and he hasn't been able to find work." "He's depressed and has a learning disorder that's made it hard for him to keep a job." "We haven't been able to get out of debt despite me making good money." "We constantly fight about money." "He refuses to sit down with anyone other than his advisor." Meanwhile, women are burning out under carrying the load of what they can't name as abuse because it doesn't fit the textbook definition. In this episode, I share:  -the process of moving from "what am I doing wrong" to "there's definitely something wrong here" that enabled me to leave; -my recommended GTFO plan; -other women's stories of financial abuse that they graciously offered over IG (and gave consent to share for this episode). In 30 minutes, you'll recognize the subtle signs of financial control in your relationship dynamics, inoculate yourself against financial abuse, and maybe even help someone who's in that sitch right now.  Get the transcripts and learn more on my website: www.ishavela.com/podcast Ready to move money like a matriarch?

What happens when you suspect your spouse isn't telling the truth about the finances? Susan Guthrie says it's more common than you think, and it's exactly what forensic accountant Tracy Coenen does for a living. Tracy Coenen has spent more than 25 years uncovering hidden money in corporate fraud cases and in divorces too. She calls it "divorce financial planning," when someone sees a split coming and starts thinking about what they can do with the money so they don't have to divide it or pay support on it. She also calls out "divorce amnesia," the sudden inability to remember an inheritance or a bank account on a financial disclosure form. Tracy returns to Divorce and Beyond to walk through the five most common ways people hide money when a marriage ends. As a divorce attorney for more than three decades, Susan has seen plenty of these sneaky moves herself, and she knows a forensic accountant can almost always find them. Together, she and Tracy go through the practical, do it yourself steps to spot the signs using bank statements, tax documents, and a little pattern recognition, without hiring a small army of experts. If the numbers in your divorce have ever felt off, this one is for you. What You'll Learn What to look for when a spouse is only depositing part of their paycheck into the joint account Why a sudden increase in cash withdrawals, or a spouse suddenly hitting the ATM, is worth a closer look How gift cards and cash back at checkout can become a quiet way to siphon money out of the marital estate How to spot a secret credit card, especially when it's hiding at the very same bank as your main account Why a paycheck, bonus, or commission that vanishes right as a divorce begins may not be a coincidence How pulling together the right bank statements and tax documents lets you spot these patterns yourself, without paying a forensic accountant Episode 4 of 8 in the Divorce & Beyond Summer Essentials Series. This summer, Divorce & Beyond brings back 8 the episodes listeners reach for most, the conversations with the clearest, most practical guidance for anyone thinking about, going through, or rebuilding after divorce.

With a dream of one day being a prison warden, Tracy went to Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI to get a criminology degree. A class on financial crime investigations reminded her how much she loved Encyclopedia Brown books as a kid. She continued her criminology degree, but added accounting and economics courses so she could sit for the CPA exam… and here Tracy is, finding money in cases of corporate fraud, high net worth divorce, and other financial shenanigans.

In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon examines the patterns of enmeshment, possessiveness, financial abuse, and coercive control within Selene's survivor story. The debrief explores how Selene entered a family system where her husband's relationship with his mother left little room for privacy, independence, or healthy boundaries. Brandon discusses how Selene was positioned as a threat, how her husband resented attention given to their children and her friendships, and how grief, new parenthood, and family stress provided explanations that made the larger pattern of abuse harder to see. Brandon also looks at the financial dependency her husband deliberately created, the frightening escalation that occurred whenever Selene asked for accountability, and why every attempt at leaving helped her gather the knowledge and confidence she eventually needed to leave permanently. Finally, the episode examines the recurring symbolism of doors throughout Selene's story. Doors were unlocked without permission, removed from their hinges, and became difficult for Selene to walk through as she developed agoraphobia. Later, new doors led to her own apartment, the courthouse, greater independence, and a life built on her own terms. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses adult physical abuse and strangulation. *** If you are in search of therapy from professionals dedicated to dealing with TRAUMA - Narcissist Apocalypse recommends REBOUND THERAPY and they can be reached at  hellorebound.com/na Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jas Rawlinson is a fearless journalist, author and advocate. But before she was any of those things, she was a girl trying to survive in a home filled with domestic violence and coercive control. Jas grew up watching her father abuse her mother. She carried that shame into her first relationship, where love bombing turned into sexual abuse. But Jas didn't stay silent. She reclaimed her story and her power. And now, she's on a mission to expose the systems that exploit vulnerable women. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Jas explains the difference between physical and emotional abuse, and why the latter is so often dismissed, why she went undercover to expose Brisbane’s illegal massage parlour industry, and why she refuses to believe all men are the problem. This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual assault and men's violence against women.

In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon breaks down the key takeaways from Louise's story, including projection, financial dependence, post-separation abuse, and the slow erosion of reality inside a long-term abusive relationship. Louise's story shows how an abuser's conflicts with other people can become a warning sign, how small denials can train someone to question what they know, and how one person's version of reality can begin to dominate the entire relationship. It also looks at how financial abuse can continue long after separation, especially when agreements, employment, legal pressure, and money are used to keep someone unstable. This debrief is about reality being worn down over time, the exhaustion of defending yourself against projection, and the clarity that can come when the relationship finally ends and the pattern becomes impossible to ignore.

Everyone loves them. Your friends think they're charming. Your family thinks you're lucky. You know what they're really like at home. And you wonder if you're the crazy one.This is Parts 3 and 4 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial coercive control and the psychology of the mask through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns that explain how intelligent people end up trapped.Prosecutors allege Kouri was $4.5 million in debt when Eric died. Over 200 overdraft transactions totaling $300,000. A $3.2 million mansion closing the day of his death. Financial abuse creates chains so complete that leaving becomes impossible—not because you're afraid, but because you literally cannot afford to go.The chaos strategy keeps you reactive. The "we" weapon makes every decision feel shared while one person controls. The flip turns your questions into accusations. The trap follows you: destroyed credit, joint debt, sabotaged employment. Financial desperation is a documented lethality indicator—when the house of cards collapses, danger spikes.Then there's the mask. After Eric died, Kouri wrote a children's book about grief. Featured her sons. Did media appearances as the grieving widow helping families heal. All while under investigation for allegedly murdering her husband.Public image management means every interaction is curated, building character witnesses before they're needed. "They would never"—the narrative gets set before you speak. Flying monkeys reinforce their reality while your support network erodes. Two people exist: warm and generous in public, cold and critical at home.The pressure paradox: the mask doesn't crack under scrutiny. It becomes more elaborate. The worse the truth, the better the performance has to be.The public saint and private monster are the same person.

Why don't we talk about money when we talk about domestic abuse?Financial abuse doesn't leave bruises. It creates a trap so complete that leaving becomes impossible—not because you're afraid of being hurt, but because you literally cannot afford to go. This is Parts 3 and 4 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial coercive control and the psychology of the mask through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns.Prosecutors allege Kouri Richins was $4.5 million in debt. Over 200 overdraft transactions totaling $300,000. A $3.2 million mansion closing the day Eric died—one she allegedly couldn't afford. If true, this is financial abuse at its most extreme. The chaos strategy keeps you reactive—constant crisis means you can't analyze the pattern. The "we" weapon makes every decision shared while one person controls. The flip turns your questions about money into accusations that you're controlling.Then there's the mask. After Eric died, Kouri wrote a children's book about grief. Featured her sons. Did media appearances as the grieving widow helping families heal. All while under investigation for allegedly murdering her husband.We break down public image management—every interaction curated, every impression calculated, building character witnesses before they're needed. "They would never"—the four most dangerous words because they told their version first.

When we talk about domestic abuse, we talk about bruises.We almost never talk about money. And that's a problem.This is Part 3 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial abuse through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns.Prosecutors allege Kouri was $4.5 million in debt when Eric died. Over 200 overdraft transactions. A mansion closing she allegedly couldn't afford. If those allegations are true, this is financial coercive control at its most extreme—and most deadly—conclusion.Financial abuse creates invisible chains. Debt without full disclosure. Controlled accounts. Sabotaged employment. Constant chaos that keeps you too overwhelmed to see the pattern.The word "we" becomes a weapon. "We" bears consequences while one person makes decisions.When you ask for visibility, you're the problem. You're controlling. You don't trust them.The shame keeps victims silent. The debt follows them out. Destroyed credit, joint debt, no resources—even leaving doesn't break the chains.And financial desperation is a lethality indicator. When the house of cards falls, danger escalates.Financial abuse is abuse—even without physical violence.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Kouri Richins case is, at its core, a financial case.Prosecutors allege $4.5 million in debt. 200+ overdrafts. A mansion closing Eric allegedly didn't know they couldn't afford. If true, it's financial coercive control at its most extreme.This is Part 3 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial abuse as the ultimate form of control. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns.Financial abuse doesn't leave bruises. It creates invisible chains. Debt without disclosure. Controlled accounts. Sabotaged employment. Chaos that keeps you in survival mode.The word "we" is a weapon. "We" bears consequences while one person makes decisions.When you ask questions, you're controlling. You don't trust them. The conversation flips and you apologize for wanting to see your own finances.The shame keeps you silent. The debt follows you out. Destroyed credit means no apartment. Joint debt means responsibility whether you stay or leave.And here's what the research shows: financial desperation is a lethality indicator. When the house of cards collapses, the danger escalates.Financial abuse is abuse—even if no one ever hits you.Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part 3 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining financial abuse as the ultimate form of coercive control.The Kouri Richins case is fundamentally a financial case. Prosecutors allege: $4.5 million in debt 200+ overdraft transactions totaling $300,000 A $3.2 million mansion closing the day Eric died Properties she allegedly couldn't afford without his estate If those allegations are accurate, this is financial coercive control at its most extreme endpoint.This episode breaks down how financial abuse works:INVISIBLE CHAINS: No bruises. No noise. Just debt, controlled accounts, sabotaged employment, and chaos that keeps you in survival mode.THE "WE" WEAPON: "We" need this. "We" are behind. But one person decides while both bear consequences.THE FLIP: Ask for financial visibility and suddenly you're controlling. You don't trust them. You end up apologizing.THE TRAP THAT FOLLOWS: Destroyed credit means no apartment. Joint debt means responsibility whether you stay or leave. The chains extend beyond the relationship.LETHALITY INDICATOR: Financial desperation correlates with escalation. When the house of cards collapses, danger spikes.Financial abuse is abuse—even if there's no physical violence.We're not diagnosing Kouri Richins.

This week on The Finding God Podcast, we're revisiting an important conversation that resonated deeply with listeners when it first aired. In this episode, Keana W. Mitchell explores a topic that is often overlooked or misunderstood in faith communities: the difference between healthy, spirit‑led giving and financial abuse.Many believers have experienced pressure, guilt, or manipulation around giving sometimes without realizing it. This episode brings biblical clarity, trauma‑informed insight, and practical tools to help you discern when giving honors God and when it crosses into coercion.Whether you're hearing this message for the first time or revisiting it with fresh ears, this episode offers wisdom, healing, and freedom for anyone who has ever questioned their relationship with giving.

This week on The Tax Factor, Malli Kini and Neil Insull begin with a roundup of the Top 3 tax stories making headlines, setting the scene for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking episode. They then turn to the Mark Glen vs HMRC case, examining the tax treatment of female hair loss businesses and the broader implications for medical expense claims. The discussion also covers the Miss Odina financial abuse story, highlighting the tax considerations involved and the wider issues it raises, before analysing why reports of an OBR document being accessed ahead of its official publication matters for transparency and public trust.

People in the Pacific are raising the alarm about elder abuse in the region. Worldwide one in six people over 60 have been abused, according to startling statistics from the World Health organisation. In Fiji last year, around 2000 cases of abuse were reported to the police, including physical, emotional and financial abuse. On Sistas Let's Talk Natasha Meten spoke to three women trying to combat the scourge of elder abuse in their community.  Sashi Kirin, the Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection in Fiji; Jullian Lava, who leads the women's ministry at her local Seventh-day Adventist Church in Papua New Guinea; and Dr Juliet Boon from Auckland University of Technology, who conducted a study into elder about among New Zealand's Pacific diaspora.  Listen to this episode on ABC Radio Australia. 

This week, Stacey and J Sbu touched on a topic plaguing many South African households. From a R100 here, to a R500 for this and before you know it - you have no money in your bank. J Sbu shared a touching, personal story about his struggle with financial mistreatment from a loved one before we heard from Anonymous, who had a few hard-hitting words. Registered Counsellor Linda Turner helped us with advice on how to say no.

What if the most powerful weapon in an abusive relationship isn't a fist, but a login? We sit down with Jordyn Lawson, Chief Residential Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, to unpack how financial abuse and coerced debt quietly trap survivors—even long after they leave. From paychecks diverted into hidden accounts to loans opened under threat or deception, money becomes a leash: it governs housing, food, credit, and the ability to move toward safety.Jordyn shares what frontline work reveals: the overwhelming prevalence of financial control, the shock of discovering debts for cars or even boats survivors never saw, and why credit scores can become gatekeepers to a new home or job. We connect the dots between personal harm and public cost—billions lost to intimate partner violence, millions of workdays missed, and the chilling number of workplace homicides tied to abusers. Most importantly, we map the way forward: how to spot red flags, how loved ones can support without minimizing, and how workplaces should prepare to protect employees targeted by abusers.There's real hope in policy and practice. We highlight legal reforms that recognize coerced debt as identity theft in Texas, how survivors can challenge fraudulent accounts, and why advocacy partnerships streamline credit repair with minimal cost. We also dig into financial literacy strategies that restore control—pulling credit reports on safe devices, securing independent accounts, documenting coercion, and planning for deposits and child care. Along the way, we confront enduring myths about who works, who controls the money, and why “everyone fights about finances” is not a free pass for abuse.If you care about safety, equity, or simply want to help someone you love, this conversation gives you clear tools and next steps. Listen, share with a friend, and help us push for policies and workplace practices that put safety first. If this episode resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what change would most improve financial safety for survivors?

Tracy was significantly impacted by legal fees incurred during a severe domestic violence situation, which led to high-interest personal loans due to poor credit. This experience highlighted the reality of financial abuse, a tactic used for power and control. She emphasizes that financial abuse can take many forms, including withholding money or using legal fees as a scare tactic, and that recognizing it is the first step toward healing. Tracy also discovered her need for a personal relationship with money, tracing it back to her parents' poverty and a resulting negative view on finances. She learned that understanding these patterns, often rooted in childhood experiences, is vital for changing financial behavior. This self-awareness allowed her to practice restraint, avoid impulse purchases, and refrain from opening new credit cards.There is a lot to learn from Tracy, as she shares her Long Story $hort.Key takeaways:Seek professional guidance like MMI when facing overwhelming debtUnderstand the impact of financial abuse and its connection to debtDevelop self-awareness regarding your relationship with money and spending habitsPractice restraint and accountability to stick to your financial goalsLeverage conversations with trusted individuals to find support and resourcesKey moments:00:00 Tracy's Journey to MMI03:15 Finding MMI and Debt Management05:37 Understanding Financial Abuse08:36 Working with MMI and Overcoming Isolation12:32 Learning Restraint and Money Relationship15:37 Breaking the Stigma and Seeking Awareness19:14 A New Debt-Free Goal and Paying it Forward23:13 Tracy's Lasting Message of Hope
