This episode is a lifeline for every single mum navigating the chaos, confusion, and emotional exhaustion of dealing with a narcissistic ex, especially during the festive period!

I’m joined by Anita, a coach for single mums healing after narcissistic abuse, and together we have one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever put on this podcast

We both open up about our own experiences discovering we were in abusive relationships, what that healing journey actually looked like, and the reality of trying to manage child arrangements with someone who doesn’t think or behave like a healthy co- parent

Inside this episode, we break down:

✨ What Narcissistic Personality Disorder really is
Not the Instagram buzzword version, but the psychological one that explains the manipulation, the lack of empathy, the chaos, and the emotional whiplash you’ve been living with

✨ Why you cannot “co-parent” with a narcissist… because they only counter parent
They don’t collaborate... They compete
And once you understand that, everything starts to make sense

✨ Communication strategies that protect your peace
Including:

• Grey rocking
• BIFF (Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm)
• How to stop getting pulled into their arguments, traps, and emotional games

✨ Self-care that actually works when you’re triggered
Not bubble baths, nervous system regulation, grounding, and reclaiming emotional control when they try to destabilise you

✨ How to support your children when they return dysregulated from the other parent
Why their behaviour changes, how to soothe them without absorbing their stress, and how to build safety and stability in your home

✨ How to hold your boundaries, rebuild your identity, and heal deeply,  even while dealing with them
This is the handbook we wish we had years ago

If you’re a single mum navigating abuse, manipulation, high conflict dynamics, or emotional exhaustion… this episode will help you understand what you’re facing, protect your peace, and start healing for real!

With so much Love! 

Jaime & Anita
