Have you ever felt that something was “off” in a relationship — but couldn’t explain why?
In this deeply grounding and empowering episode, Rose Davidson is joined by trauma-informed relationship recovery coach and author Romilly Golding to explore how women can move from red flags to resilience after toxic relationships.
Many unhealthy relationships don’t begin with obvious abuse. They begin quietly — with subtle control, confusion, self-doubt, and moments that feel small enough to dismiss. Romilly shares how these patterns develop, why they are so hard to name, and what’s actually happening beneath the surface.
Drawing on her forthcoming book 21 Red Flags: Spotting the Subtle Signs of an Unhealthy Relationship and her lived experience, Romilly introduces her powerful four-step recovery framework:
Recognise — identifying subtle red flags and validating your instincts
Respond — coping strategies and protective tools while still in the relationship
Rebuild — restoring safety, stability, and nervous system regulation
Reclaim — reconnecting with confidence, autonomy, and personal sovereignty
Together, Rose and Romilly explore the psychological and physiological impact of prolonged exposure to toxic dynamics, including how the body holds stress, fear, and hypervigilance. Romilly also shares practical tools women can use in real time — from power phrases and boundary setting to understanding the motivations behind controlling behaviours.
This conversation is compassionate, practical, and deeply validating. It’s for anyone who has ever questioned their reality, minimised their pain, or wondered if they were “overreacting.”
If you’re navigating recovery — or supporting someone who is — this episode offers clarity, language, and hope for what healing can truly look like.
