    22 | Feeling Like God’s Gone Silent? 3 Healing Tips to Reconnect After Narcissistic Abuse

    Have you ever prayed and felt like your words were just hitting the ceiling? Does God feel distant lately even though you’re still reading, praying, and trying? Do you secretly wonder if His silence means you did something wrong? After narcissistic abuse, spiritual disconnection can feel deeply personal. You may start wondering if God is disappointed in you, if you did something wrong or if His silence means He stepped back. In this episode, I share a vulnerable moment when I felt that exact way — angry, confused, and convinced God was choosing not to respond.  I'm sharing 3 simple, healing tips that calm your body, quiet the internal noise, and make space to notice where God is already showing up. If you’ve been asking, “Why can’t I feel God anymore?” or “Has God gone silent on me?”, this episode will remind you that He is still close to the brokenhearted — even when you can’t sense Him.

    21 | "Moving On" Isn't Healing — Do This Instead

    Have you ever thought you were doing “better”… only to be blindsided by anger, grief, or resentment out of nowhere? Do you feel confused or ashamed when something still hurts? Have you ever wondered, “Why am I still affected by this if I’m healing?” In this episode, I’m unpacking why “moving on” after narcissistic abuse  isn’t really healing. I’ll talk about the pressure to get over it, why your body doesn’t let you skip grief, and what real healing actually looks like when emotions keep resurfacing.  Podcast → https://confidenceafternarcissisticabuse.podbean.com/   Connect → Narcissism Unmasked Community                 → Become An Insider   Resources → Unshackled: Breaking Free From Unforgiveness    Email → admin@growingthroughpains.com Next Steps: Step 1: Join a supportive community of women who are ready to heal from narcissistic abuse in the free Narcissism Unmasked Community Step 2: Share this episode with another woman who needs to hear this   truth.

    16 | Stop People-Pleasing — Start Living From Your Identity in Christ

    Have you ever known what the right thing to do was — but still felt afraid of how someone else would react? Do you find yourself shrinking, explaining, or hesitating even after learning about boundaries? Do you feel anxious when you think someone might be disappointed with you? In this episode, I’m unpacking why people-pleasing continues for women healing from covert narcissistic abuse. People-pleasing isn’t kindness, humility, or love — it’s fear-based self-protection that develops when safety and worth feel conditional. This episode explores how narcissistic abuse disconnects women from their voice, discernment, and identity, and why people-pleasing becomes automatic even after the relationship ends. Through a personal story and biblical truth, we shift the focus from behavior to identity in Christ — learning how living from identity, rather than for approval, restores clarity, peace, and emotional steadiness. This episode is about healing at the identity level, not trying harder to stop people-pleasing.   Podcast → https://confidenceafternarcissisticabuse.podbean.com/   Connect → Narcissism Unmasked Community                 → Become An Insider   Resources → Unshackled: Breaking Free From Unforgiveness    Email → admin@growingthroughpains.com Next Steps: Step 1: Join a supportive community of women who are ready to heal from narcissistic abuse in the free Narcissism Unmasked Community Step 2: Share this episode with another woman who needs to hear this   truth.
