What do you do when the truth isn’t enough to stop a lie?
In this episode, Dr. Marshack explores the “Gossip That Never Dies,” rumors that take on a life of their own and narratives that people cling to regardless of the facts. She shares two deeply personal stories: one of a client blindsided by a lawyer’s 20-year-old bias, and her own experience in a divorce courtroom where her husband’s smear campaign led to her own daughters turning away.
This episode is a call to action for anyone who has been canceled, smeared, or betrayed. You’ll learn why gossip is a tool for control and why the only way to find true freedom is to stop trying to erase the lies and start building your own truth. If you need people to see the truth in order to feel free, you will never be free.
