Growing up with a narcissistic parent (or being in a narcissistic relationship) is like living in a story you didn’t realize was fiction — until you start untangling the past and start speaking about it. This podcast is a space to unpack childhood chaos, break cycles, and navigate healing with honesty, vulnerability, and a little bit of humor. Real talk, real reflections, and the occasional ‘Wait… did that actually happen?’ moment. Here’s to healing, growth, and learning to rewrite the narrative — one step, one episode at a time. Intro and outro music created with Mubert.
When Silence Isn't Always Golden: The Silent Treatment
Silence can feel heavy, but not all silence is the same. This episode explores the painful reality of the silent treatment, why it’s about control, and how to recognize when choosing silence for yourself is actually an act of self-preservation.

When Life.. Just Lifes
This episode is a soft landing place for anyone moving through the blur. It’s not about fixing, solving, or pushing through—it’s about naming the quiet weight we all carry sometimes. From the strangeness of time to the ache of “what ifs,” from emotional autopilot to the small, bittersweet moments that remind us we’re still here—this is an honest reflection on being human.
No pressure. No clear answers. Just space to pause, feel, and know you’re not alone.
Perfect for when: you’re tired, reflective, or just need to hear someone say, “Same.”

The Things We Don't Say: Say it Anyway
You were never meant to bury your truth just to make others comfortable.
This episode is a call to speak—especially when it’s hard. We’re talking about the words we hold back, the peace we fake, and the power we reclaim when we finally say what needs to be said. Say it anyway. Even if it shakes.

When Silence Speaks Loudest: The Role of the Enabler
We often talk about the harm caused by narcissists—but what about the people who stood by while it happened? In this episode, I dive into the quiet, often-overlooked role of the enabler: the parent who says “just let it go,” the friend who downplays the hurt, the partner who protects an image rather than a person.
Whether you’ve been harmed by an enabler, or have found yourself in that role and want to do better, this episode holds space for reflection, clarity, and healing.
Have a story about enablers you'd like to share? Your voice matters. Send in your thoughts, memories, or questions—I’d love to include them in future conversations.
You’re not too much. You were made to feel that way because the truth was too big for others to face.

Gaslighting: How It Works, Why It Happens, and What You Can Do
In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most confusing and emotionally damaging forms of manipulation: gaslighting. Whether you’ve heard the term before or are just starting to understand what it means, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate look at what gaslighting is, how it shows up, why people do it, and the lasting emotional toll it can take. I'll even talk through some ways to recognize it when it’s happening and respond in the moment.
This is a foundational topic in understanding narcissistic dynamics, and it’s one many people don’t even realize they’ve experienced — until they hear it named.
If you’ve ever felt disoriented, invalidated, or confused in your relationships, this episode offers valuable insights to help you rebuild self-trust and stand firm in your own reality. Whether it’s happening in a personal relationship or elsewhere, understanding gaslighting is a crucial step in reclaiming your power.

Growing Up with a Mask: The Perfect Family Facade
Why Narcissists Create the Illusion of Perfection
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the “perfect” family image that narcissists work so hard to create—and the emotional toll it takes on those forced to play along.
If you grew up with a narcissistic parent or person, or know someone who seems to have it all together on the outside but leaves chaos in their wake behind closed doors, this one’s for you. We talk about the deep insecurities behind the need for perfection, how narcissists manipulate perception, and what it’s like to grow up in the middle of that performance.
From personal stories—like my own experiences with my father and a powerful story about my friend Kay—to real-world examples of narcissistic behavior (the "super parent," the influencer, the corporate star), we explore how the mask is built, why it's so convincing, and how it impacts identity, trust, and healing.

From Golden Child to Scapegoat: The Roles We Never Chose
In this episode, I dive into the hidden dynamics of narcissistic systems and the roles people unknowingly take on. From the Golden Child to the Scapegoat, the Enabler, and beyond, I break down how these roles serve the narcissist’s need for control—and how they extend into romantic relationships, workplaces, and friendships.
I explore how these roles aren’t always fixed—how someone can shift from being the Golden Child to the Scapegoat, or how a Caretaker can become a Flying Monkey, and more!
If you've ever felt trapped in a toxic dynamic—whether in your family, a relationship, or even at work—this episode will help you identify the patterns and roles you have been in or are currently finding yourself in.
