    Episode 15: A Beacon in the Darkness - The Truth the Covert Narcissist Cannot Destroy

    In this episode of Unseen but Not Untold, Dr. Zacharia, integrative covert narcissistic abuse recovery expert and board-certified endocrinologist, explores the power of truth - your truth, God’s truth and the divine role it plays in shaping the future of humanity. She unpacks how the very tactics used by the covert narcissist to dismantle your identity were ultimately used by God as instruments of refinement. What was meant to erode you became the fire that strengthened your discernment, clarified your calling and anchored you more deeply in spiritual authority. The wounds created through covert narcissistic abuse were not wasted; they became sacred entry points for transformation. Dr. Zacharia also shares the deeply personal process of revelation that culminated in God unveiling her full life purpose in late 2025 - after a season of isolation, obedience and complete surrender. This episode is a powerful reminder that your truth was never destroyed; it was divinely prepared to emerge at the appointed time.

    Episode 12: Covert Narcissistic Abuse Recovery - Your Journey Holds the Key to Your Destination and Awakening

    In this episode of Unseen but Not Untold, Dr. Zacharia, integrative covert narcissistic abuse recovery expert and board-certified endocrinologist, explores why covert narcissists targeted you because of your God-given gifts. Dr. Zacharia explains how covert narcissistic abuse operates within a larger framework of spiritual warfare - an attempt to distort, suppress and disconnect individuals from their divine purpose before it can fully awaken. Through God-centered healing, the fog of deception begins to lift, revealing gifts that were intentionally hidden until the timing was right. Drawing from Dr. Zacharia's personal testimony and scripture-informed insight, this episode explores how God uses isolation, pruning and refinement to prepare survivors for alignment with their higher calling. This journey is not about pushing past the pain or rushing toward a destination - it is about understanding that the journey itself expands your capacity to fulfill your purpose. And God is the key to remembering who you are and why you were created. This episode is for survivors who feel a spiritual stirring, a sense of awakening or a quiet knowing that they are meant for more.

    Episode 11: Covert Narcissistic Abuse and Forgiveness - The Good, The Ugly and the Truth

    In this episode of Unseen but Not Untold, Dr. Zacharia, integrative covert narcissistic abuse recovery expert and board-certified endocrinologist, dismantles the distorted narratives around forgiveness that have kept survivors trapped in guilt, shame and spiritual confusion. Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood concepts in covert narcissistic abuse recovery. It is also one of the most intentionally twisted and weaponized tools narcissists use to maintain control—fueling confusion, self-blame and prolonged emotional entanglement. Drawing on her academic background in philosophy, Dr. Zacharia critically analyzes the mainstream definition of forgiveness and contrasts it with what she reveals to be God’s true definition of forgiveness - one that directly contradicts many commonly held beliefs. For most listeners, this distinction will be unexpected and eye-opening. In this episode, forgiveness is explored through deep philosophical reasoning and spiritual discernment grounded in direct dialogue with God - not religious dogma or institutional interpretation, but a framework that honors truth, safety, justice and survivor-centered healing. This episode is not about minimizing abuse, excusing harm, forgetting what happened or reconciling with the covert narcissist. It is not about “letting the narcissist off the hook.” Instead, this episode reclaims forgiveness as it was always meant to be: a protective act for survivors of covert narcissistic abuse - not a pardon for the abuser.
