In today’s episode, we delve deep into the world of scams and the often underestimated emotional toll they inflict on the victims. From heart-wrenching online romance deceptions to elaborate financial frauds, the intricate web of deceit can trap anyone, regardless of age or background. Realising that you have been scammed takes you from the initial shock, to the crippling embarrassment, through the overwhelming anger, down to the self-doubt and affected self-confidence. These emotions can linger, casting a long shadow on a person's mental and emotional well-being. Shame, guilt, frustration, or desperation are often some of the emotions we develop. But when we find the strength to raise above what happened and those emotions, we might be able to learn an invaluable lesson, and perhaps even turn that mess into a powerful message. This episode is a profoundly personal journey.
