The Be a Better You Podcast (formerly The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast) is hosted by Best Selling Author and Certified Rapid Reprogramming™ Coach, Allison K. Dagney.  As a young adult, I met a man who I believed was the love of my life. We got married quickly and brought three kids into the world. But something was wrong. I was miserable. And I blamed myself for all the problems in our marriage. What I didn't know, was that I was being emotional abused by who I believe is a narcissist. I decided it was time to break free and step into the person I was always meant to be — confident and free to live the life I’ve always imagined. 
I escaped, and I turned my personal story of transformation into a memoir. And now I coach women all over the world to help them transform their pain into empowerment, experience peace and joy, and start living life like never before.

    🔒 The Power of Perspectives: External Blame to Internal Empowerment

    🔒 The Power of Perspectives: External Blame to Internal Empowerment

    Subscriber-only episode
    In this thought-provoking episode, I am sharing the transformative power of perspective and how it shapes our experiences and reality. While it's natural to blame external circumstances for our challenges, we explore the concept that it's not what happens to us but how we perceive and respond to it that truly matters. Drawing from neuroscience insights & relatable examples I uncover the distinction between an external locus of control and an internal locus of control. Through an analogy of the window and the landscape, I illustrate how our minds act as windows through which we view the world, and how clearing away the distortion can lead to greater clarity and empowerment. Join me on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment so you can learn how to take control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions, and embrace the power of perspective in shaping your life for the better.

    An Eye Opening Discussion on Religious Deconstruction

    An Eye Opening Discussion on Religious Deconstruction

    If you've been brought up in religion this discussion could be an eye opening discovery into the parallels of emotional and narcissistic abuse. I am interviewing coach Terina Maldonado about her experience with religious deconstruction to finally break free from limiting beliefs she was programmed with from a very young age with her church. We explore how things like purity culture, societal expectations and some religions impart deep psychological conditioning on people to keep a power status. Listen in to this very important and eye-opening conversation. My hope is that you will begin to question the things you were programmed to believe that keep you from your authenticity and being the best version of you that you can!

Real Wisdom on Narcissism

Allison's podcast delves into the heart of narcissism, demystifying its characteristics, and exploring its impact on individuals and relationships. With each episode, she skillfully unravels the underlying psychology, dispelling myths, and providing practical tools to cope with narcissistic behavior.

What sets Allison apart is her genuine empathy and understanding towards her guest and her audience. She creates a safe space where listeners can find solace and support, reassuring them that they are not alone in their struggles. Her compassionate approach allows for deep self-reflection and growth, empowering her listeners to break free from the chains of narcissistic influence and regain control of their lives.

Thank you

I can’t afford therapy right now. I’m a single mom just trying to get through with very little support. This podcast helps me so much and I am changing my diet, exercise and thoughts! This is a great resource. I’m very grateful to have this while I’m on a waitlist for emotional abuse recovery therapy!
