Summary

 ***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!

    180. Nobody Talks About the Crash After Survival Mode Ends
    May 15 2026

    Hey, Survivor!

    After years of hypervigilance, stress, trauma, and emotional survival, what happens when the crisis finally ends?

    In this episode, I’m talking about the physical and emotional “crash” many trauma survivors experience after prolonged periods of stress—including nausea, shaking, exhaustion, emotional numbness, brain fog, and nervous system dysregulation.

    Following the end of the murder trial I’ve spoken about on this journey, I share what it felt like when my body finally began to come down from years of anticipation and survival mode. It’s similar to what you’d experience after narcissistic abuse, divorce, toxic relationships, and other traumatic situations.

    If you’ve ever felt strange, exhausted, or emotionally overwhelmed after finally closing a toxic or traumatic chapter, this episode is for you.

    🎧 Listen now and remember: “Survival kept you alive. But purpose helps you thrive.”

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

    179. When a Long Trauma Chapter Finally Begins to Close
    May 8 2026

    Hey, Survivor!

    After 8 years, the jury in the murder trial reached a verdict—and my body reacted before my mind could catch up. Can you relate?

    In this episode, I’m talking about what happens in the nervous system when a long season of trauma, hypervigilance, stress, and uncertainty may finally be ending.

    We often think closure will feel peaceful, but trauma survivors can experience shaking, overwhelm, nausea, emotional flooding, and exhaustion when closure finally comes.

    I share insights on trauma healing, nervous system regulation, emotional wellness, and the practical grounding tools helping me stay present during this deeply emotional week.

    If you’ve ever waited a long time for justice, clarity, or the end of a painful chapter, this episode is for you.

    🎧 Listen now and remember: When your body shakes, your spirit wakes.

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

    178. When Someone Else's Unhealed Trauma Becomes Your Trigger
    May 1 2026

    Hey, Survivor!

    Are the people who love you - or claim to love you - healed enough to support you? I’m talking about a painful but important reality in trauma healing in this episode.

    When your pain triggers someone else’s unresolved trauma, their response can feel confusing, invalidating, or hurtful. What looks like avoidance, defensiveness, or betrayal could be a trauma response of its own—but that doesn’t make it safe for you.

    If you’re looking to identify trauma responses in relationships and sharpen your discernment, this episode is for you.

    🎧 Listen now and remember: Don’t let someone’s incapacity affect your tenacity.

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