Listen Later

What if the key to your post-separation freedom wasn’t fighting for control, but letting go of what’s beyond it?

Imagine reclaiming your energy by focusing only on what you can control, even in the face of narcissistic abuse or coercive control. How might that shift your healing journey?

Our guest Karen McMahon is a divorce coach specializing in supporting survivors of narcissistic abuse. Karen shares how to move from helplessness to empowerment. Together, we explore:

  • The power of accepting your current reality and identifying what is truly within your control.
  • How the 7 Layers of Energy Blueprint can help you shift your mindset and reclaim your agency.
  • Practical steps to transform feelings of powerlessness into purposeful action.

If you’re ready to let go of the struggle and embrace a new kind of freedom, this episode is for you.
