What happens when a person is tossed into a swirling storm of emotional and physical abuse by their own family? How does one navigate through the damaging effects of narcissistic abuse, and more importantly, find the strength to break free? Today, we have Dana with us who takes us through her unnerving journey of survival and healing. From a young age, Dana faced emotional detachment from her mother, endured verbal and physical abuse from her stepfather and navigated through family dynamics that were nothing short of a nightmare. 

You'll hear Dana recount her experiences of feeling like an outsider in her own family, forced to hide her bruises and withstand humiliating experiences at school. Her struggles with self-esteem, the pain of seeing her brother being treated differently and the profound effect of nonverbal abuse on her mental health will touch your heart. However, what's truly inspiring is Dana's decision to break free from the toxic cycle of abuse, gather evidence against her stepfather's betrayal, and choose self-love over unnecessary guilt and apologies.

But Dana's story doesn't end there. She talks about dealing with the aftermath of abuse, grappling with toxic relationships and the journey towards healing. From discussing her son's strained relationship with her abusers and finding solace in a healthy relationship, to acknowledging her feelings and finding a safe space, Dana's resilience is truly commendable. So, tune in to learn from Dana's powerful story of survival and healing. She invites you to connect with her through her website, blog and podcast. The journey to recovery from narcissistic abuse is a tough one, but Dana proves that it’s certainly not impossible.
