THE VIBRANT SURVIVOR -How to Identify a Narcissist, Narcissistic Abuse, Toxic Relationships, Childhood Trauma Healing

***TOP 1.5% PODCAST*** Heal after narcissistic abuse. Do you want to disconnect from narcissistic or toxic relationships? Are you feeling stressed and lonely in dysfunctional family and work environments, or social groups? Are you ready to heal after narcissistic abuse? In this podcast, you’ll find holistically healing solutions to set you free from narcissistically abusive relationships, trauma-related health issues, and the enabling of toxic behavior. My mission is to help you heal after narcissistic abuse through holistic health, trauma support, and boundaries. If you’re ready to disconnect from dysfunction and prioritize your healing after narcissistic abuse, then you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Lesley. 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 narcissists 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 after narcissistic abuse. If you’re ready to experience healing after narcissistic abuse that focuses on YOU; holistic health and wellness solutions with real results like greater clarity, confidence, a more positive mindset, healthy boundaries, and better relationships – this podcast is for you! Take a deep breath in…Let it out slowly…And just relax, this time is for you.

Friday Dec 15, 2023

Hey, Survivor!Are you ready to tackle some myths about trauma?  At one point or another, we’ve all shamed and blamed ourselves for our body’s reaction to what has happened to us.  So, this episode is dedicated to helping you better understand what has happened to you, so that you don’t assist the narcissist in your life in making you feel bad so they can feel better.
Trauma is the result of more internal and external change than your body can handle.  And I’ve had my own body turn against me, as a result.  It was rough; but I found the strength to persevere through the process and restore my health and wellbeing, after narcissistic abuse.  
If you, or someone you know, need help understanding your trauma, this episode is for you.
Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!‘Tis the season for special events.  And, for narcissists, special events can evoke sabotage attempts.  This could include: holiday parties, family gatherings, weddings, and more.  What should be a joyous occasion can easily become a stressful or traumatic situation that compromises your health and wellbeing.
When I got married 26 years ago this week, my dad almost ruined my special day.  His toxic behavior included a hotel room “lockdown,” smear campaign, and threats against me and my husband.  If I had known then who and what I was dealing with, I could have prepared for the chaos and drama that he created.  
If you, or someone you know, need help navigating narcissistic relationships around special occasions, this episode is for you.
Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.
