    Part of healing after emotional abuse includes self improvement. And self improvement requires self-awareness. Boundaries can be very difficult for some people especially after emotional abuse because it brings up emotions like fear and guilt.

  • Episode 16: Step-Parents and Blended Families - Healing Together

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    Our children didn't get to choose their parents.
    Our children didn't get to choose the divorce.
    Our children don't even get to choose the step-parents and significant others that will be introduced into their lives. 

    In this episode, I am interviewing Step-Parenting Coach, Maria Natapov of Synergistic Step-parenting, where she helps step parents transform family chaos into meaningful and harmonious co-parenting.

    As you know, co-parenting isn't always possible with a toxic ex, but there are ways we can help our children as primary parents and step-parents to create the best situations for our children who didn't get to choose. 

    Whether you are a primary parent who is in a relationship or a step-parent who is caring for a child of a toxic parent - we all have one common goal in mind - to love and support these kids. In my talk with Maria, we discuss uplifting and practical things you can do to make the  transitions and changes easier  when to comes to having blended families and step-parents!

    Maria helps families transition from chaos to harmony. She enables
    stepparents to strengthen their values, foster partner alignment, create trust with
    stepchildren, and enhance community with birth families by building on their existing
    skills, experiences, and strengths. Maria has helped numerous blended families foster more harmonious family dynamics through her VIP support model and her podcast, Synergistic Step parenting. You won't wan to miss this!

  • Episode 15: How to Tame the Triggers After Emotional Abuse

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    Triggers are very common after experiencing trauma from emotional and narcissistic abuse. 
    They come out of what seems like nowhere and can send us into a complete downward spiral of despair. Triggers create unwanted emotions in us and can cause panic attacks and lengthy emotional upset and exhaustion. 

    So, in today's episode, I want to help you with my absolute favorite way to heal using a four step process created by Dianah Johnson, the CEO of The Thought Work Institute. 

    This amazing tool has helped me an so many other people get rapid relief from their emotional suffering AND triggers. 

    If you have experienced trauma, emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, or even if you have been triggered by things that send you ruminating about the past or the future...this episode can help you get to the source of the triggers and teach you how to tame them.
