In this episode, I connect with the truly awe inspiring Jill Wise @the_enlightened_target, about her harrowing journey, from the child of a malignant narcissistic father to the wife of a narcissistic abuser, who later colluded with her father to fracture her bond with her son. Over a decade in the court system; having her ex and her father join forces; and experiencing her son be alienated from her. 

All of this could easily break a person. While Jill found herself at rock bottom, isolate, broke, and without her son, she slowly, but intentionally climbed her way out from the bottom. Putting on her own oxygen mask on first, was crucial in her reconnection with her son. This is a story of pain, heartbreak, betrayal, but more importantly, of hope, healing and empowerment.

In this episode, I talk to the amazing Kelly Sutliff, a psychotherapist, a DV survivor, and the founder of a nonprofit Kelly's Canine. She was married for only 11 months, with no joint assets and no children, but her divorce took over 4 years. After the first and only instance of physical abuse, a series of horrific instances that were meant to end her life, Kelly hit rock bottom in the aftermath of this episode. But, she managed to climb back out and has created a life that she would never have imagined. This is her story. This is her climb. This is her finding her passion and her purpose to live a life she loves.

In this episode, I am joined with The Vanessa Reiser, survivor, therapist, mom, author, ironman, and narcissistic/cult expert. We delve into how victims can escape, become survivors and then learn to thrive despite what their exes do or don't do. Vanessa talks about her own personal story and how she climbed out from the bottom she found herself in and rebuilt her life from the ground up. She partners her own personal experience with her professional expertise on narcissistic abuse to provide us with tips, tricks, tools, and strategies for all those who find themselves in abusive relationships, and those who have escaped them. 

If you've ever wondered how to build back up, how to heal, how to thrive and not merely survive, this conversation is for you.

Amanda Nguyen shares her story, from full time stay at home mom, who after 20 plus years, found herself in a custody battle with her abuser- a tug of war between her and her abuser, where the children were the rope. She chose to lay down the rope, with the hope and intention of being able to reconnect with her children.

Through this, she did hit rock bottom, she was suicidal, but, has built back her life all the while, learning how to stay in contact with her 3 boys who live fulltime with their dad. While still living with the pain of not being able to parent as she once was able to, she's learned to parent from afar and managed to build a life she loves, despite her pain. 

If you have experienced the intentional fracturing of your child's bond with you, the weaponization of your children, and feel helpless and hopeless, this is the conversation for you. 

You can follow Amanda and her story as it unfolds on IG @thebakealong.
