Description

In this episode of Almost Oblivious, we break the silence on a form of control that often goes unseen—financial abuse. This pervasive yet often overlooked aspect of domestic violence affects victims in ways that can keep them trapped in unhealthy relationships.

Host, Autumn Baker, will explore:

• The many forms financial abuse can take, from restricting access to money to sabotaging employment.
• How financial control undermines independence and self-worth.
• Practical steps for regaining financial independence and securing a path to freedom.

This episode also features real-world strategies, resources, and encouragement for anyone feeling trapped by financial control. Together, we’ll uncover how to reclaim autonomy, one step at a time.
