CW: This episode discusses domestic violence and abuse. One in three Latinas will experience domestic or interpersonal violence in their lifetime. In this powerful episode, therapist and survivor Coral Seco opens up a necessary, bumpy, and honest road trip through what domestic violence really looks like—and why it’s so much more than a visible bruise. Coral breaks down the many faces of abuse: emotional, mental, financial, and physical. She walks you through red flags we normalize or minimize. From tracking your location, controlling your money, criticizing your body, punching walls, “joking” threats, sex that ignores your consent—and why none of this is love. If you’ve ever wondered “Is this normal?” or you’re worried about a friend, Coral shows up as the loving big sister and trauma specialist she is to help you: Recognize the subtle signs of domestic and emotional abuse Understand why leaving is so hard (and why it’s still the answer) Honor your intuition, your safety, and your worth Support a loved one without losing yourself or your own safety On this road, the message is clear: you deserve peace, safety, and a love that doesn’t hurt. And if you need to, you are allowed to take the next exit. If you or someone you know is in an abusive situation, you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or text “BEGIN” to 88788. A new episode drops every Wednesday—another step on the road back to yourself, another moment to slow down, reflect, and choose healing.
