When we believe someone we love may be in an emotionally or psychologically abusive relationship, our instinct is often to fix it, warn them, or push them to leave. But what if, in our fear, we unintentionally begin to mirror the very control we’re urging them to escape?

In this episode, we talk about what it truly means to support a friend who may be in an abusive relationship, without taking away their autonomy, voice, or choice. We explore why trying to dictate someone else’s decisions can feel unsafe, why pressure often backfires, and how control, even well-intentioned, is harmful.

Healing doesn’t happen through force. It happens through safety, consistency, and being a steady presence. We discuss how to encourage the good, reflect truth gently, hold space without ultimatums, and remain a safe place someone can return to when they’re ready.

In this episode of Wildly Her, I’m sharing the top 10 truths I’ve learned over the years through therapy, lived experience, and the long road of healing — especially as they apply to recovering from narcissistic abuse.

These aren’t surface level affirmations or quick fixes. They’re the grounding truths that helped me untangle confusion, release shame, rebuild trust with myself, and slowly come feel at home with who I really am after surviving emotional and psychological abuse.

We’ll talk about:

• Using discernment in your relationships
• How your nervous system plays a role in healing
• What setbacks really are and what they aren't
• Why peace is costly
• How grief, anger, and relief can all coexist
• And what the real healing journey actually looks like

This episode is gentle, honest, and grounded in compassion. It’s some of advice I sometimes didn't want to accept, but it made all the difference. It's all the stuff that lets you know you don't need to be “fixed” because you're not broken. This is me sitting beside you and saying, “You’re not crazy. This makes sense. Let’s talk.”

If you’re navigating life after narcissistic abuse, or if you’re learning how to trust yourself again, this episode is for you.

Pull up a chair. You don’t have to carry this alone.

In this episode of Wildly Her, we look at what happens in the aftermath of leaving a narcissistic relationship. Leaving a narcissistic relationship is only the first step and what happens next can be just as disorienting. We explore the painful and often overlooked aftermath: the shifting friendships, the family dynamics that suddenly feel uncertain, and the heartbreak of watching people you trusted remain connected to your abuser as if nothing happened.

We talk about why this happens, why it feels like such a betrayal, and how manipulation continues long after the relationship ends. We’ll also look at the emotional fallout - anger, sadness, heartbreak - and the layers of grief that come with losing more than just the relationship you walked away from. Sadly, we may need to let other relationships go too.

Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to navigate this season with clarity, boundaries, and compassion for yourself. Because while the narcissist may create chaos around your exit, your healing is not dependent on who believes you or who follows you out the door. Your healing begins when you stop fighting to prove your truth and start protecting your peace.

If you’ve ever felt alone in the aftermath, this episode reminds you: you’re not alone, and you’re not wrong for choosing freedom.
