A wife, mom, and narcissistic abuse survivor. For years, I rationalized toxic relationships and dysfunctional environments, in an effort to find connection, purpose, success, and peace. I fell for lies, fake opportunities, and empty promises, wasting my time, talents, and money. It took a toll on my mental health (Hello, CPTSD!); and it almost cost me my life…literally. I finally realized that if I was going to break the cycle and heal my childhood trauma from the inside out, I needed a holistic approach. I reclaimed and redirected my resources towards solutions that helped me to put the narcissistic and toxic people in my life in my rear-view mirror. After applying some stealthy strategies for drama-free exits, protecting my peace, and pursuing my goals, I was determined to help others to identify, navigate, and heal from this insidious form of abuse. I went to school and became a Master Certified Health Coach and Certified Trauma Support Specialist. And I’m here to teach you how to heal and thrive after narcissistic abuse.

Hey, Survivor!
In today's show, I share 9 characteristics of narcissistic families. This is the not-so-presentable side of family that often gets denied, or goes undealt with. But it's key to your healing; and provides clues about your willingness to put up with narcissistic abuse, or your inability to navigate these toxic relationships outside of your family.
If you, or someone you know, are a truth-teller in your family, this episode is a must. It highlights some tell-tale signs of narcissistic families, validates your experience, and helps to light a path to your healing, so that you don't pass along these "family traditions."
Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!
In today's show, I share my story of how I identified narcissistic abuse in my family of origin. Although it was overwhelming and painful, this bombshell reveal was an answer to prayer and helped to set me free. It helped me to understand why I allowed narcissistic and toxic people into my life; and why I tolerated their abusive behavior. This, in turn, helped me to set boundaries going forward.
If you, or someone you know, are struggling to figure out how and why you're allowing narcissistic and toxic people into your life, and tolerating narcissistic abuse and toxic behavior, this episode is a must. It illustrates how your family can influence your relationship choices, from childhood to adulthood, by training you to tolerate abuse. And it highlights areas that you may need to work on, in order to break the cycle, create strong boundaries and cultivate healthy relationships.
Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!
In today's show, I share an example, from my personal experience, of what could happen, when narcissistic abuse turns violent. I'll admit, it's extreme. However, I think it's important to share, so that you can get to know me better; and so that you can learn from my mistakes, regardless of your situation.
If you, or someone you know, are evaluating new relationships, personally or professionally, this episode is a must. It provides examples of how appearances can be deceiving; red flags to take seriously; and it emphasizes the importance of trusting your gut, vetting people, and healthy boundaries.
Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.
