About this listen

 ***TOP 1.5% PODCAST*** Heal and thrive after narcissistic abuse. Do you want to disconnect from narcissistic or toxic relationships? Are you feeling stressed and lonely in dysfunctional family and work environments, or social groups? Are you ready to heal and thrive after narcissistic abuse? In this podcast, you’ll find holistically healing solutions to set you free from narcissistically abusive relationships, trauma-related health issues, and the enabling of toxic behavior. My mission is to help you heal and thrive after narcissistic abuse through holistic health, trauma support, and boundaries. If you’re ready to disconnect from dysfunction, prioritize your healing, and reclaim your power after narcissistic abuse, then you’re in the right place! Hi, I’m Lesley. A wife, mom, and narcissistic abuse survivor. For years, I rationalized toxic relationships and dysfunctional environments, in an effort to find connection, purpose, success, and peace. I fell for lies, fake opportunities, and empty promises, wasting my time, talents, and money. It took a toll on my mental health (Hello, CPTSD!); and it almost cost me my life…literally. I finally realized that if I was going to break the cycle and heal my childhood trauma from the inside out, I needed a holistic approach. I reclaimed and redirected my resources towards solutions that helped me to put the narcissistic and toxic people in my life in my rear-view mirror. After applying some stealthy strategies for drama-free exits, protecting my peace, and pursuing my goals, I was determined to help others to identify, navigate, and heal from this insidious form of abuse. I went to school and became a Master Certified Health Coach and Certified Trauma Support Specialist. And I’m here to teach you how to heal and thrive after narcissistic abuse. If you’re ready to experience healing and empowerment after narcissistic abuse that focuses on YOU; holistic health and wellness solutions with real results like more clarity, discernment, confidence, a more positive mindset, healthy boundaries, and better relationships – this podcast is for you! Take a deep breath in…Let it out slowly…And just relax, this time is for you.

    167. Betrayal Trauma After Narcissistic Abuse - Why It Hurts So Deeply and How to Heal
    Feb 13 2026

    Hey, Survivor!

    Why does narcissistic abuse feel so devastating? In this episode, we unpack betrayal trauma — how your body and brain respond when someone you depend on is also the one causing harm.

    Learn how betrayal trauma impacts memory, attachment, identity, and nervous system regulation — and how to begin healing using evidence-based insight and Dr. Sears’ L.E.A.N. framework.

    🎧 Listen now and remember: Betrayal shakes trust - healing rebuilds us.

    Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.

    166. Why You Feel Foolish After Narcissistic Abuse (And Why You're Not)
    Feb 6 2026

    Hey, Survivor!

    Have you ever looked back on your narcissistic relationship and thought, “How did I not see this?” If you’ve been feeling embarrassed, ashamed, or questioning your intelligence after narcissistic abuse, this episode is for you.

    In this episode, we unpack why survivors often feel foolish — and why that feeling is actually a trauma response, not a character flaw. You’ll learn how manipulation, trauma bonding, and betrayal trauma impact the brain, why self-blame is common after emotional abuse, and how to rebuild trust in yourself.

    If you’re recovering from narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation, or a toxic relationship — this episode will help you move from self-doubt to self-trust, from shame to clarity, and from confusion to confidence.

    🎧 Listen now and remember: You weren’t foolish — you were fooled.

    Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.
