My hearing for my DVRO is today. In this episode.. I talk about how I’m feeling heading into it… raw, terrified, hopeful.. and I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Ramani, psychologist, bestselling author and leading expert on narcissistic abuse. We get into it: what trauma bonds really are, why smear campaigns happen, and how to co-parent with a narcissist. Her work has helped millions of people understand and heal from toxic relationships.. whether with partners, parents, bosses, or friends. She is the trusted resource for anyone trying to make sense of emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and the long road back to self-trust.✨ **THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!** 💐✨ 🥗 HungryrootThis episode is sponsored by Hungryroot.

I catch you up on everything… the latest chaos with my restraining order being ignored (again), the emotional rollercoaster of getting autism services for my son, and how I’m somehow still finding moments of joy and peace through it all. If you’ve ever tried to stay grounded while the universe throws chairs at your head, this one’s for you. Stick around till the end for a surprisingly powerful (and hopefully uplifting) gratitude meditation that might just change your whole day.

She opens up about the double heartbreak of watching her daughter survive an abusive relationship while caring for her husband through the relentless progression of dementia. This isn’t just about pain, though. It’s about resilience, generational strength, and the brutal beauty of being a woman & mother who loves through chaos.
