Description

In this powerful episode of Bitch Is a Bad Word, Lindsay and Makaira get real about the red flags, first fights, and early warning signs so many survivors miss in the moment.


They share personal stories of painting red flags green, staying silent to keep the peace, and holding on to the belief that love could fix them. Together, they unpack why it’s so easy to ignore the signs—and what it takes to finally hear your gut.


This episode is for anyone who's ever questioned their instincts, stayed too long, or felt ashamed for not seeing it sooner. You’re not alone—and it’s not your fault.


🎙️ In this episode:

  • Early emotional abuse red flags and why they’re hard to spot
  • Why survivors often feel responsible for the other person’s healing
  • The emotional cost of staying silent and second-guessing yourself
  • How to begin reclaiming your voice and trusting your instincts again
  • Real survivor stories and raw, supportive conversation


This is your sign to stop doubting yourself. Breaking the silence is where healing begins.
