Podcast
Not to make this about me but...
is a podcast I created to support healing after narcissistic abuse and coercive control. We talk about impact, sensemaking, and what it feels like to slowly find ourselves again.
It began as part of my own healing, a space to think out loud, connect the dots, and share what I was learning in real time. It is both personal and educational, exploring the nuts and bolts of these experiences while offering language, insight, and connection for others going through their own recovery.
Some people listen as a way to reflect or learn more about their own experiences, some alongside therapy, and others as a first step before exploring somatic coaching, sounding board sessions, or the other resources I share here.
Wherever you are in your process, my hope is that it helps you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.

Resources
A collection of supportive materials for women healing after narcissistic abuse, coercive control, trauma, stress, or long-term self-abandonment. These resources offer clarity, language, perspective, and grounding for anyone reconnecting with themselves and rebuilding their sense of safety and identity.
These are resources that I and others have found helpful. They are not a substitute for therapy. Please take what resonates, and leave what doesn't.
