What happens when the person you vowed to spend your life with turns out to be living a double life — not in secret affairs, but in hidden abuse?

In this eye-opening episode of Surviving Toxic Relationships, we’re joined by Mia Hanks — a brave survivor who spent 29 years married to a covert narcissist. Behind closed doors, Mia endured years of emotional manipulation and financial control, slowly losing her sense of identity, security, and voice. But today, she’s no longer surviving — she’s thriving.

Mia takes us through her powerful journey of recognizing the red flags, reclaiming her independence, and transforming her pain into purpose through her memoir "Bride Maid."
