Why Women Stay Too Long—and How to Stop

from Brutally Anna · host Anna Kai

This week, I respond to a listener who knows her marriage is over—but can’t shake the guilt of being the one to end it. We talk about why women are taught to feel like the villain when they choose themselves, how shame is inherited, and what it really means to leave a life that was never built for you. If you’ve ever thought, “But he’s not that bad,” or “Who will I be if I walk away?”—this one’s for you. Also: why toilet paper holders are a metaphor for personal growth. Sort of. Just listen.
