  • Episode 34: The Real Reason we People Please and How To Stop

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    Do you struggle with saying no?

    Do you find yourself constantly trying to make other people happy, even if you aren’t?

    Do you worry about what other people are thinking? And what they are thinking about you?


    Well, if you answered yes, I can fully relate to this because I used to be the picture of a people pleaser. Today, i am going to be addressing the root of people pleasing (and some people refer to this as codependency). I am also going to help you by giving you some practical ideas of how you can change this behavior. 

    If you ended up in an emotionally abuse relationship, with a narcissists or a toxic relationship, you can probably relate to people pleasing behaviors. It starts when we are young but stays with us for years! It can be a really tough habit to break.

    Here's what I want you to know...People pleasing isn’t personality trait…it’s a habit. And any habit we have, we can break if we choose to!

    If you want to break this habit, listen in!

  • Episode 33: Escaping the Egyptian Narcissist with Author Maggie Petraki

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    Imagine being 19, meeting who you thought was the love of your life and having it come crashing down in one of the most horrible, controlling and abusive ways. 

    Maggie managed to escape her narcissistic abuser, but it wasn't easy (it never is) and she was so young at the time. Today she is sharing parts of her story with you as well as how she went from rock bottom to inner healing. Abusers come in all shapes and sizes. Abuse knows no gender, no religion, no age, no culture...anyone can be an abuser. So, listen in to learn about the signs Maggie saw and often ignored as she was being Love Bombed (how appropriate this is out on Valentine's Day!) at such a vulnerable "rose colored glasses" stage in her life. And, be inspired by her triumph of digging herself out the deepest darkness she'd ever known.

    About the book: Escaping the Egyptian Narcissist is a moving tell-all of how a young woman realizes her value and breaks free of the mental prison that the Narcissist creates. Drawing on her experience, Petraki ultimately encourages all of those who fall victim to a narcissist to understand their worth and put an end to the abuse they're enduring. Permanently.

    Get your copy of Escaping the Egyptian Narcissist today to find out how to identify the signs of emotional abuse, how it manifests itself, and how to break the chains.

  • Episode 32: Narcissists Everywhere! How to Feel Safe

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    If you've been abused by a narcissist, it's not that difficult to understand why you would be afraid to encounter another one. There is a lot of fear about what will happen if you meet someone who has narcissistic personality disorder or high narcissistic traits. 

    We do NOT want that to happen to us ever again. So, naturally, we have a lot more hyper vigilance so we can protect ourselves from this kind of emotional and psychological abuse again.

    But what most people don't know is that if there isn't a REAL threat...meaning your life is not in danger, often times, the source of your fear is coming from a different place than you expected. 

    So, if you are still worried, have a lot of anxiety and fear about running across another narcissist, stay tuned because I'm going to tell you the real source of the fear and how you can overcome it!

  • Episode 28: The Love of Wisdom and How it Can Help You Heal w/Dr. Louise

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    What you don't know, can help you! In today's episode (which is a BONUS) I am interviewing my friend Dr. Louise. In this episode we are discussing something unique for healing that you might just want to learn about! 

    Dr. Louse is the survivor of two toxic parents, a toxic ex, and a toxic mother-in-law. She has a doctorate in philosophy and serves the survivors of narcissistic abuse as a philosophical counselor and coach. "I specialize in helping survivors become more confident, reclaim their identities, and move forward from the chaos of the past. At this point she has been no-contact with her toxic mother for over 13 years and up until my father's recent passing had been no-contact with him for about 3 years." 

    She says, "I work hard to help survivors diversify the tools they use on their healing journey. I am the only professional philosopher in the world helping survivors leverage the tools of philosophy to heal. Philosophy is particularly useful for learning how to work with both your emotional self and your rational self. Learning to work in harmony with these different aspects of ourselves helps us become more confident and really reclaim our identities from toxic people and our challenging pasts. Currently, I am focused on bringing insights from Stoic Philosophy, the main inspiration for the Grey Rock Method, to the survivor journey."

    So, as always, you know that on this podcast, I always want to give you as much as I can for your own personal growth and you get to pick and choose what works for you. This one is about PHILOSOPHY which translates to The Love of Wisdom! How cool is that?

    Maybe you're familiar with philosophy, but are you familiar with how it can help you heal after emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse and toxic dynamics in relationships?!

    This is such an exciting topic to me because it is so closely related to Subconscious Healing - which you know is my favorite! So, whether you're familiar or not, you're sure to learn something new today. Tune in!
