My podcast creates a safe, open space for women whose voices are often silenced, dismissed, or ignored. I speak with guests who bring lived experience, honesty, and courage to conversations that matter. I’m especially interested in speaking with women who: Have been bullied, cancelled, or harassed online or in their communities, and want to share their story of resilience.Are “trans widows” – women whose male partners transitioned and who experienced loss, coercion, or abuse in that process.Have trans-identifying family members, and are navigating the grief, isolation, or pressure to self-censor that often comes with it.Want to shed light on the impact of coercive control, narcissistic abuse, and the broader culture of silencing women’s realities.This podcast aims to amplify stories that are too often kept in the shadows — giving voice to truth-tellers, survivors, and women who have faced backlash for speaking openly. If your experience touches on these themes and you’re ready for a thoughtful, respectful, and empowering conversation, I’d love to hear from you.

    Survival Guide for Narcissistic Divorce and High-Conflict Custody

    Are you dealing with a high-conflict divorce or a narcissistic co-parent? In this episode, Kelly Oliver Dougall sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. David Marcus, who has spent over 40 years helping families under extreme stress. Dr. Marcus pulls back the curtain on how narcissistic parents operate in the courtroom and, more importantly, how their behaviour forces children into roles (like the pleaser or mediator) that prevent them from developing their true selves. In this interview, we discuss: The Narcissistic Window: Why they draw you in only to push you away. The Child's Burden: Why kids take on the Not Me role to keep their parents okay. Courtroom Reality: Why traditional therapy often fails with narcissists and why Dr. Marcus insisted on having teeth in the legal system. The Empty Depression: How childhood roles impact adult relationships. Parent Rx: Strategies for communication and becoming a "soothing presence" for your children.
