The 1st interview in a series of bringing awareness around domestic abuse, domestic violence and narcissistic abuse,  this episode pulls back the curtain  on what it looks like being married to a narcissist;  in this case, a pastor. 
If you experience frequent lies, a husband who craves the spotlight, makes you feel like it's always your fault, plays the victim/blame game, has issues with money, porn and infidelity, you are possibly married to a narcissist. 
Today's guest is Megan Goldstein-Davis. She left her husband after 10 years of trying everything she could to hang on including fervent prayer;  hoping God would heal and restore her narcissistic husband and marriage.  Megan went from emotional abuse to divorced and  thriving as a happy, independent woman who now helps other women as a Christian Divorce and Abuse Recovery Coach.

It's Independence Day in the USA and the perfect day to release an episode about FREEDOM! We get to celebrate the United States signing the Declaration of Independence and becoming its own nation in 1776, free from the rule of Britain. But that's not what this episode is about. We've heard arguments for the last 16 months about freedoms being taken away in the US due to imposed restrictions from covid19...but that's not what this is about, either. 

This episode is about freedom from the prison of your mind. What do you replay on loop in your head, that isn't serving you? What negative or limiting beliefs about yourself are keeping you stuck? How do you get out of victimhood and into surviving and thriving? This episode is about THAT and we dive into a little of the book "The Choice" by Dr. Edith Eger to help you get there. All of us struggle with negative and limiting beliefs at times and this will help you identify and change them, so you can move the needle forward in your life.
