***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.

    185. Supporting the Survivor Parent After Narcissistic Abuse
    Jun 19 2026

    Hey, Survivor!

    In this episode, I’m talking about something rarely discussed in trauma recovery: supporting the survivor-parent after narcissistic abuse. We explore caregiving, forgiveness, accountability, aging, trauma, healing family dynamics, and what it looks like to help someone reclaim life after years spent in survival mode. If you’ve ever loved a parent who survived dysfunction while carrying wounds of their own, this episode is for you.

    Listen and remember: Don’t just survive. Heal and thrive!

    184. Healing Beyond Willpower with Dr. Regina Ragasa
    Jun 12 2026

    Hey, Survivor!

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Regina Ragasa, a triple board-certified physician in Family Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Obesity Medicine. We’re talking about the gap between health knowledge and real-life behavior change.

    We explore why trauma survivors often struggle to implement what they already know about health, and how shame, stress, and survival responses can interfere with sustainable lifestyle change.

    During our conversation, Dr. Ragasa explains her LIVEN Method—a framework centered on Listening, Imperfection, Validation, Empowerment, and Normalization—to help clinicians and patients build trust and create lasting change through human connection. She also talks about the “humble plate” vs. celebratory foods, and how cultural food traditions and identity come into play.

    If you’ve ever struggled with knowing what to do but not being able to follow through, this episode is for you. Connect with Dr. Regina Ragasa: Instagram: @CaliWellnessDoc Website: CaliWellnessDPC.com

    Hey, Survivor!

    In this episode, we’re talking about the emotional aftermath of narcissistic abuse and why so many survivors feel embarrassed, fooled, or deeply ashamed after manipulation.

    We explore trauma bonding, psychological manipulation, self-trust, and how survivors can heal from the painful realization that they were emotionally deceived.

    If you’re self-blaming and shaming after the narcissist has been exposed, this episode is for you.

    🎧 Listen now and remember: “See the signs, reclaim your mind.”
