About this listen

Not all wounds leave bruises. Some leave confusion, silence, and self-doubt.

In this first episode of The Quiet Exit™, we explore the layered and often misunderstood nature of narcissistic abuse.

You’ll learn:

• What narcissistic abuse really is (beyond the buzzwords)

• How it differs from everyday conflict or toxic behavior

• Why survivors often struggle to explain their experience

• Why this abuse thrives in silence—and how naming it is a first step to healing

This episode is for those who were erased quietly, manipulated gently, or blamed loudly. You’re not alone. And you don’t need permission to walk away.
