Wildly Her

What happens when faith becomes a weapon of control? Psychological and emotional abuse is found in more places than personal relationships. 

In this episode of Wildly Her, I'm beginning to expose spiritual abuse and the devastating impact of religious teachings that convince women that submitting to an abusive husband is an act of obedience to God. When standing up for yourself feels like risking your eternal salvation, the psychological chains run far deeper than the marriage itself.

I share some of my personal experiences as I discuss 4 layers of manipulation and the implications of that kind of psychological abuse within religious communities and churches. If you've ever been taught that God will reward your silence or that it makes you more sanctified, this episode is for you.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Angela Greenwell shares what it was like growing up with an alcoholic mother, carrying responsibilities that were never hers to bear.

As the oldest of four children, Angela became the protector, the buffer, and the caregiver. She learned to recognize danger in her body long before she had the words to explain what she was feeling. Somewhere along the way, caring for everyone else meant losing sight of her own needs.

Angela opens up about how becoming a mother herself gave her a new perspective on her childhood, the emotional wounds she carried into adulthood, and the healing journey that helped her begin untangling responsibility from love.

Today, she faces another complicated chapter: navigating the care of an aging parent while honoring the boundaries she has worked so hard to establish.

This is a raw, honest conversation about parentification, survival, motherhood, boundaries, and learning that you can care about someone without sacrificing yourself to care for them.

In this episode, I'm talking about the roles children are assigned in narcissistic family systems. We break down a little bit about the scapegoat, the golden child, and the ones caught quietly in the middle who learned to survive by becoming invisible.

These roles were never our identity… but many of us grew up believing they were.

We explore how narcissistic parents project their own wounds, expectations, and need for control onto their children, shaping the way we see ourselves long after childhood ends. From the pressure of perfection to the pain of blame and invisibility, these survival roles often follow us into adulthood and impact our relationships, self-worth, voice, and sense of belonging.

But healing begins when we realize we were never meant to live inside the role assigned to us.

When you’re dealing with a narcissist, peace doesn’t come from changing them. It comes from changing how you show up.

In this episode of Wildly Her, I’m breaking down one of the most powerful truths in healing: your interaction is your protection.

We’ll talk about why engaging, defending, explaining, and waiting for accountability keeps you trapped… and how stepping out of that cycle is where your freedom begins. This is where you start to gain clarity and protect your peace.

TRIGGER WARNING: ABUSE AND TRAUMA

In this episode, I’m opening the door to my own story. I’m sharing the reality of what it took to walk away… the violence, the heartbreak, the unraveling of everything I once called my life. Because no one really talks about this part.

Leaving doesn’t feel empowering at first. It feels like grief swallowing you whole. Because leaving wasn’t just a goodbye, it was a collapse. It’s not just the relationship you lose. It’s the people, the family, the familiarity, the system you knew, the identity you built to survive it.

I’m also breaking down the stages many narcissists move through when you leave. I'm talking about the patterns, the reactions, the attempts to pull you back into what you fought so hard to escape. I don't want to incite fear, but to prepare you. To help you see clearly when the chaos tries to rewrite your reality.

This episode is for the woman standing at the edge. The one who knows she needs to leave, or already has, and is wondering why it hurts this much.

You’re not weak for grieving. You’re not wrong for choosing yourself. Sometimes the bravest thing you will ever do is walk away and keep walking.

In this episode, we’re talking about two more beliefs that stay long after emotional and psychological abuse ends. These are some that make you shrink, hide, and panic because you feel like you’re still the problem… even when you’re finally free.

You’re not broken. You were conditioned in an environment that trained you to believe you were.

This is a continued conversation about unlearning the identity you were given, understanding why healing takes time, and gently beginning to separate who you are from what you were taught to believe.

In this episode of Wildly Her, I'm talking about emotional conditioning. The subtle, often invisible patterns that slowly teach you to shrink, second-guess yourself, and keep the peace at your own expense.

When you’ve been in a narcissistic or emotionally manipulative relationship, the damage isn’t always loud or obvious. It’s layered. It’s quiet. And over time, it changes how you see yourself. Emotional conditioning doesn’t happen overnight and it rarely looks like control at first.

If you’ve ever felt confused, small, or like you lost your voice without knowing exactly how it happened, this episode will help you put language to what you experienced and begin finding your way back to you.

In this deeply honest episode of Wildly Her, I open up about one of the most confusing and painful dynamics in narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships: triangulation. Triangulation is a tool used to control, divide and manipulate. When communication is filtered through a third person, it can quietly erode trust, distort reality, and create distance between the people who need connection the most.

I'm getting very personal and giving real examples from my marriage of how triangulation showed up not only between me and the children, but also in other family relationships. I want you to know what it is and how it works. I talk about how this dynamic can leave us feeling fractured, misunderstood, and emotionally unsafe, and why so many of us don’t even realize it’s happening until much later.

This episode isn’t just about naming the harm. It’s also about healing. I want to describe it so that you can step out of it when possible, and what it looks like to repair relationships that were strained or damaged by being pulled into someone else’s narrative. 

If you’ve ever felt caught in the middle, spoken about instead of spoken to, or watched relationships suffer because of manipulation and divided loyalties, then pull up a chair. This episode will help you recognize the pattern, understand its impact, and begin choosing healthier, more honest connection moving forward.

In this episode of Wildly Her, we talk about how emotional and psychological abuse erodes self-trust, why our nervous systems cling to what’s familiar even when it hurts, and how having just one safe, grounded person can help us come back to ourselves. When we’re with someone who is emotionally regulated and empathetic, our nervous systems can co-regulate with theirs bringing calm, clarity, and the ability to make decisions from our own strength instead of fear.

This isn’t about someone telling you what to do.
It’s about finding safe alignment so you can hear your own voice again.

You don’t need anyone to agree with you to choose better for yourself.
But you do deserve support that helps you feel steady enough to do it.
