Growing up with a narcissistic parent (or being in a narcissistic relationship) is like living in a story you didn’t realize was fiction — until you start untangling the past and start speaking about it. This podcast is a space to unpack childhood chaos, break cycles, and navigate healing with honesty, vulnerability, and a little bit of humor. Real talk, real reflections, and the occasional ‘Wait… did that actually happen?’ moment. Here’s to healing, growth, and learning to rewrite the narrative — one step, one episode at a time. Intro and outro music created with Mubert.

    When Silence Isn't Always Golden: The Silent Treatment

    Silence can feel heavy, but not all silence is the same. This episode explores the painful reality of the silent treatment, why it’s about control, and how to recognize when choosing silence for yourself is actually an act of self-preservation.

  6. When Silence Speaks Loudest: The Role of the Enabler

    When Silence Speaks Loudest: The Role of the Enabler

    We often talk about the harm caused by narcissists—but what about the people who stood by while it happened? In this episode, I dive into the quiet, often-overlooked role of the enabler: the parent who says “just let it go,” the friend who downplays the hurt, the partner who protects an image rather than a person. Whether you’ve been harmed by an enabler, or have found yourself in that role and want to do better, this episode holds space for reflection, clarity, and healing. Have a story about enablers you'd like to share? Your voice matters. Send in your thoughts, memories, or questions—I’d love to include them in future conversations. You’re not too much. You were made to feel that way because the truth was too big for others to face.

    Gaslighting: How It Works, Why It Happens, and What You Can Do

    In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most confusing and emotionally damaging forms of manipulation: gaslighting. Whether you’ve heard the term before or are just starting to understand what it means, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate look at what gaslighting is, how it shows up, why people do it, and the lasting emotional toll it can take. I'll even talk through some ways to recognize it when it’s happening and respond in the moment. This is a foundational topic in understanding narcissistic dynamics, and it’s one many people don’t even realize they’ve experienced — until they hear it named. If you’ve ever felt disoriented, invalidated, or confused in your relationships, this episode offers valuable insights to help you rebuild self-trust and stand firm in your own reality. Whether it’s happening in a personal relationship or elsewhere, understanding gaslighting is a crucial step in reclaiming your power.
