Today's episode is sponsored by Podcorn.

I'm excited to introduce you all to Podcorn.

It's a marketplace connecting podcasters to amazing podcast sponsorship opportunities,

ranging from interview segments to topical discussions, and more.

My absolute favorite feature is that there's no middleman, no matter the size or who

the audience of your podcast is, you can browse and choose opportunities

right on the platform that best fits you. It's super easy to browse your site, and I love how it's a

one-stop shop for sponsorship opportunities, and it gives me the freedom to set my own rates.

I can also collaborate with brands directly without any exclusivities.

Podcorn is here to support you at every stop and ensure you're protected and compensated for the work that you do for brands. Their mission is to give podcasters transparency,

creative freedom, and full control of how and when we monetize. So make sure to click the link in my

episode notes to sign up to Podcorn and start browsing sponsorship opportunities for your

podcast or brand. You can also visit their site by typing podcorn.com in your search bar.

Thank you so much to Podcorn for sponsoring the podcast.

I really hope you guys enjoyed this week's episode. Everything in the world was more important to them than me.

Everything in the world.

I was the last priority.

And in fact, it was completely fine if I was distraught, if I was crying, if I was upset, if I was screaming.

My life was crumbling.

That's the progress that I went through up until 11 months into the relationship when I decided,

I can't do this anymore. I have to end this. And I want to end this as gracefully as I can.

I want to leave so quietly, close the door and never go back. I want to be as subtle and gentle as possible so that they will no longer hurt me.
