Here we are. You have reached episode 4 of this ill-conceived saga.

This episode features taking my power back after I have allowed other people to take advantage of me, use me, and manipulate my kindness. I step into the voice I never had, to stand up for myself, and teach others how to do so for themselves. 

People have constantly told me I was too nice, but never gave me a guide on how to protect my kindness and not be exploited. THIS IS THE GUIDE. These lessons are the safety you have always longed for yourself. No more living in compromises, no more letting other people run your own life. 

Welcome to Episode 4: Reclaiming Your Power

In this exclusive episode I meet and discuss the condensed story of my experience of Aaja Brown with Rise Up and Heal Coach Anni Neill. This episode features some of the experiences I have not yet shared in: A Lights Out Narcissistic podcast. 

Anni assists me in telling my story without shame and guides me to focus on the ways I have healed from narcissistic abuse. Her podcast, Rise Up and Heal: Healing from Narcissistic Relationships has provided clarity for me to further understand narcissism, and to heal the parts of me I still resent for allowing Aaja to come into my life. 

Thank you for your gentle-kindness and support with listening to my story Anni. 

Providing you with a detailed explanation of my past and how I triumphed over it! I also talk about consent and its importance in ALL relationships.

Futhermore, I continue to dive into how Aaja was unethically discharged from the healthcare facility I worked at.
