About Loraine Marshall

Author | Survivor | Advocate | Mentor

For over a decade, Loraine lived the reality of a manipulationship. After the “Discard,” the next five years were marked by legal intimidation, litigation abuses, and significant economic loss between 2020 and 2026; she chose to step out from behind a pen name to speak the truth in her own voice.

Today, Loraine is a recognised voice in the self-improvement space. As the podcast host of  Mindset Money Success and a dedicated content creator, she is committed to helping others rebuild stable, independent lives, no matter their age or the scale of their loss.

Her work focuses on educating both survivors and the professionals who support them on the complexities of post-separation abuse and systemic gaps. 

Loraine also volunteers as an Expert by Experience with the charity Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA).
