I Was Married to an Abuser for 10 Years... and Didn't Know It | Quinn Padilla

For years, Quinn Padilla believed she was simply married to a difficult man. What she didn't realize was that she was trapped in a cycle of emotional abuse, manipulation, control, and trauma bonding that would keep her stuck for nearly a decade. In this powerful conversation, Quinn shares the raw truth about surviving an abusive marriage to a Green Beret, the hidden forms of abuse that often go unnoticed, the threat of suicide that kept her trapped, and the heartbreaking aftermath that followed. Today, Quinn is a Trauma Therapist and Abuse Recovery Coach helping women identify abusive patterns, heal their nervous systems, and reclaim their lives. We dive deep into: • Why strong, intelligent women stay in abusive relationships • The psychology of trauma bonds • Gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional abuse • Red flags most people miss early in relationships • How abuse impacts children • PTSD, nervous system healing, and recovery • Brainspotting therapy and trauma treatment • Life after abuse and finding healthy love This is one of the most important conversations we've had on the show. If you know someone struggling in a toxic or abusive relationship, share this episode with them. 🎙️ Guest: Quinn Padilla 📲 Instagram: @itsquinnpadilla 🎙️ Host: Jason Becker 📲 Instagram: @_jason_becker If this conversation helped you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear it. #QuinnPadilla #TraumaTherapy #AbuseRecovery #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #PTSDRecovery #Brainspotting #DomesticAbuseAwareness #WhatTheHellDoIKnow #Podcast #RelationshipAdvice #Gaslighting #TraumaHealing

Elle Unbound on Megachurches, Deconstruction, Mental Health & Faith | Ep. 84

Elle Unbound joins JB for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about faith, church culture, deconstruction, mental health, and the modern American church. Elle opens up about: • Growing up in church • Moving to America to work in megachurch ministry • Why church culture started feeling performative • Mental health struggles inside ministry • Faith, doubt, and living without certainty • Politics and Christianity becoming intertwined • LGBTQ+ exclusion in church spaces • Why curiosity matters more than certainty This episode is not about attacking faith. It’s about asking hard questions, examining unhealthy systems, and figuring out what love, grace, and authenticity actually look like. Whether you’re deeply involved in church, deconstructing, frustrated with religion, or simply curious — this conversation is for you.

She Left the Church After 40 Years… Here’s Why (w/ Marla Taviano) ep 81

What happens when the belief system that shaped your entire life… starts to unravel? In this episode of *What the Hell Do I Know with JB*, I sit down with author and speaker Marla Taviano for one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had. Marla spent decades deeply immersed in faith—writing books, teaching, serving, and living what she believed was the “right” way. But over time, questions started to surface… about love, about truth, about harm, and about what it really means to live fully. We talk about: – Growing up in the church and being “all in” – Marriage, red flags, and painful realizations – Deconstructing faith (and what that actually means) – Love vs. control in religion – LGBTQ+ conversations, inclusion, and humanity – Finding wholeness after everything changes This isn’t about telling you what to believe. It’s about asking better questions—and learning how to love people well. Whether you agree, disagree, or feel somewhere in between… this one’s worth the listen. 👇 Connect with us: Jason Becker (Host): https://www.instagram.com/_jason_becker Marla Taviano (Guest): https://www.instagram.com/marlataviano Website: https://vintagewisdom.org 🎙 Podcast: *What the Hell Do I Know with JB* If this episode made you think, feel, or question something—share it with someone who needs it. #Podcast #FaithJourney #Deconstruction #RealConversations #Spirituality #MarriageStories #PersonalGrowth #LovePeopleWell #WhatTheHellDoIKnow
