Summary

Picking up where we left off in our special Diddy series, joined by my incredible co-host, criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards, and special guest Dr. Nadine Macaluso, we’re breaking the silence around the alleged pattern of power, coercion, and abuse at the heart of the Diddy trial—examining not just high-profile testimony, but the psychological traps and real-world barriers that keep women trapped in cycles of fear. We dig deep into survivor testimony, workplace coercion, trauma bonding, and the mind games that keep victims and witnesses silent. More than a recap—this episode arms you with risk assessment tools, actionable guidance, and hope for reclaiming your voice.
