In this episode, I open up about what it means to lose your voice in a relationship with a narcissist—and how I found mine again. For years, I carried blame for things I didn’t do, gave up friendships, and lived in fear of arguments, accusations, and control. From keyloggers on my computer to being told who I could and couldn’t see, my world shrank until I felt like a shell of myself. But surviving that marriage taught me something powerful: it is not OK to silence yourself for the sake of keeping peace, and it is not OK to let someone else define your worth. I share the lessons I learned about boundaries, reclaiming joy, and refusing to model unhealthy love for my children and grandchildren. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped, unheard, or diminished in a relationship—you are not alone, and you are worthy of love, peace, and respect.
