What do you do when the person who’s supposed to love you the most becomes your loudest bully?In this episode, Ivette and I dive headfirst into the betrayal, the shame, and the silence that followed. We talk about what it means to grow up misunderstood, to be mocked for your mental health, and to finally say, “I’m done.”If you’ve ever had to protect your peace at the cost of a relationship or felt that sick gut-drop when someone weaponizes your vulnerability this one’s for you. It’s raw. It’s painful. And it might be the most honest we’ve ever gotten.My new book Here Comes the Drama: A Ferris and Sloan Story is live!Get the book!Must-Hear Insights and Key Moments
