When we believe someone we love may be in an emotionally or psychologically abusive relationship, our instinct is often to fix it, warn them, or push them to leave. But what if, in our fear, we unintentionally begin to mirror the very control we’re urging them to escape?

In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to support a friend who may be in an abusive relationship, without taking away their autonomy, voice, or choice. We explore why trying to dictate someone else’s decisions can feel unsafe, why pressure often backfires, and how control, even well-intentioned, is harmful.

Healing doesn’t happen through force. It happens through safety, consistency, and being a steady presence. We discuss how to encourage the good, reflect truth gently, hold space without ultimatums, and remain a safe place someone can return to when they’re ready.

In this episode of Wildly Her, I’m sharing the top 10 truths I’ve learned over the years through therapy, lived experience, and the long road of healing — especially as they apply to recovering from narcissistic abuse.

These aren’t surface level affirmations or quick fixes. They’re the grounding truths that helped me untangle confusion, release shame, rebuild trust with myself, and slowly come feel at home with who I really am after surviving emotional and psychological abuse.

We’ll talk about:

• Using discernment in your relationships
• How your nervous system plays a role in healing
• What setbacks really are and what they aren't
• Why peace is costly
• How grief, anger, and relief can all coexist
• And what the real healing journey actually looks like

This episode is gentle, honest, and grounded in compassion. It’s some of advice I sometimes didn't want to accept, but it made all the difference. It's all the stuff that lets you know you don't need to be “fixed” because you're not broken. This is me sitting beside you and saying, “You’re not crazy. This makes sense. Let’s talk.”

If you’re navigating life after narcissistic abuse, or if you’re learning how to trust yourself again, this episode is for you.

Pull up a chair. You don’t have to carry this alone.

In this episode of Wildly Her, we look at what happens in the aftermath of leaving a narcissistic relationship. Leaving a narcissistic relationship is only the first step and what happens next can be just as disorienting. We explore the painful and often overlooked aftermath: the shifting friendships, the family dynamics that suddenly feel uncertain, and the heartbreak of watching people you trusted remain connected to your abuser as if nothing happened.

We talk about why this happens, why it feels like such a betrayal, and how manipulation continues long after the relationship ends. We’ll also look at the emotional fallout - anger, sadness, heartbreak - and the layers of grief that come with losing more than just the relationship you walked away from. Sadly, we may need to let other relationships go too.

Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to navigate this season with clarity, boundaries, and compassion for yourself. Because while the narcissist may create chaos around your exit, your healing is not dependent on who believes you or who follows you out the door. Your healing begins when you stop fighting to prove your truth and start protecting your peace.

If you’ve ever felt alone in the aftermath, this episode reminds you: you’re not alone, and you’re not wrong for choosing freedom.

In this episode of Wildly Her we're talking about who narcissists target and why. This conversation isn’t about weakness. It’s about strength. I'm talking about the similarities in all of us as survivors who learned how to survive, adapt, and carry others when needed.

In this episode, I break down the powerful traits that live inside all survivors, and how those very qualities become the strategy narcissists use to attach, manipulate, and extract. Not because you were easy to control… but because you were strong enough to endure.

If you’ve ever wondered why you, this episode will help you see the truth: You weren’t chosen because you were weak. You were chosen because you were powerful.

For so many of us in psychologically and emotionally abusive relationships, using our voice wasn't safe. It was met with silence, dismissal, punishment, or chaos. We learned to stay quiet to survive… or to scream just to feel seen. In this episode of Wildly Her, we explore what it really means to find your voice after living in emotional invisibility.

We talk about why validation and being seen are basic human needs, how the lack of them shapes our identity, our relationships, and our nervous system, and why learning to speak up doesn’t happen overnight. This is an honest conversation about unlearning the lie that your needs don’t matter, and anchoring into the truth that your existence alone is proof that they do.

You’ll hear about the difference between speaking from survival versus speaking from grounded self-trust, and how important it is to use your voice without bulldozing others. If you’ve ever struggled to trust your voice, felt invisible in your relationships, or wondered why speaking your truth feels so terrifying, this episode is for you.

This is about reclaiming your voice with clarity, courage, and compassion… and finally learning what it means to be validated as you.

In this episode of Wildly Her, we dive into how rejection can shape our identity. Rejection doesn’t always show up as a single moment. It's on replay when we're under psychological and emotional abuse. Sometimes it becomes a quiet narrator in our minds and it begins to shape how we see ourselves, how we love, how we show up, and what we believe we deserve. In this episode, we walk through the subtle and sneaky ways rejection weaves itself into identity: the defensiveness, the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the isolation, addiction, and even self-hatred.

I share how these patterns form, why they feel so powerful, and how they’re actually rooted in old survival wiring and not truth. And then we’ll shift into hope. Because the brain is not fixed. The identity shaped by rejection is not the one you’re bound to.

Together, we’ll explore the science and soul of healing. The neuroplasticity of the brain brings the hope of the rewiring process that helps you quiet the old narratives, build new neuropathways of worthiness, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that rejection tried to bury.

This is the episode that reminds you: You are not defined by who walked away, who abused you, or who failed to see your worth. Your mind can heal. Your identity can be rewritten. And you were never unworthy to begin with.

In this episode, I shine a light on one of the most exhausting parts of psychological and emotional abuse: the way an abuser twists the narrative to make you look like the problem. From flipping blame to provoking emotion and then shaming you for having it, these traps are designed to confuse your mind, shake your confidence, and make you doubt your own reality.

I break down some of the most common manipulation tactics—how they’re set, how they feel, and why they work on even the strongest, most self-aware people. Then we shift into the healing side: practical, in-the-moment tools you can use to stay grounded when someone is actively distorting your truth. You’ll learn how to pause, re-center, recognize the tactic for what it is, and reclaim the clarity that is rightfully yours.

This conversation is meant to help you name the traps, understand the patterns, and step back into your own power. You are not the crazy one.

In this episode of Wildly Her, I open up about the well-intentioned advice I received that actually caused me more confusion in my healing.

I felt pressure to be thankful for what I endured and to forgive in ways that dismissed my pain and furthered abusive behaviors. I talk about how the misconceptions behind these messages, especially for survivors of psychological and emotional abuse, can cause more pain and slow our healing.

Well-intended people may want to help us, but unless someone truly understands how psychological and emotional abuse affects victims, the advice may be unintentionally harmful to survivors.
