Welcome to Part 3 of a 4-part series on Reclaiming Your Voice After Narcissistic Abuse. In this soul-stirring episode, Darla Ridilla explores what it truly means to speak up without guilt, and how to navigate the emotional and somatic triggers that come with both using your voice—or staying silent.

This isn’t just about speaking out. It’s about reclaiming power, learning what your body is telling you, and finding safety in your truth—even when others try to shut you down. Darla shares personal reflections, grounding techniques, and scripts you can use to protect your peace while standing in your power.

✨ What you’ll hear in Part 3:

• How guilt and shame block our voices (and how to move through them)
• Why your body’s reactions—tight throat, shaking hands—are valid signals, not failures
• Somatic strategies to self-regulate before and after difficult conversations
• Tools for communicating with narcissists (including how silence can be a response)
• A reminder that your boundaries are not betrayal—they are your birthright

Whether you're still in the fog or finding your way out, this episode offers the clarity and courage you’ve been looking for.

🎤 Reclaiming Your Voice After Narcissistic Abuse – Part 2

In this powerful second installment of our four-part series, I sit down with author and survivor Tina Djuretic, whose memoir Finding My Sovereignty is a raw, soul-stirring account of breaking free from abuse, cult conditioning, and deeply ingrained toxic family dynamics.

Tina opens up about being raised by a bipolar mother and an abusive father, how that set the stage for three destructive relationships, and the trauma bonding that kept her stuck. Together, we unpack the why behind staying, the generational patterns that keep us silent, and the spiritual awakening that finally sparked Tina’s healing journey.

This is a conversation about gaslighting, grief, guilt—and growth. It’s about realizing the red flags were there from day one, and learning to forgive yourself for not walking away sooner.

We talk about:

• Narcissistic abuse and how it rewires your self-worth
• The cult-like control of fear-based religion
• Trauma bonding and codependency
• What it really takes to break free
• Spiritual healing, sovereignty, and self-love

Tina’s honesty will hit you in the gut—in the best way. And if you’re stuck in a toxic relationship or trying to find yourself again after escaping one, this episode is the mirror and the medicine.

Welcome to the first episode of a brand new four-part series: “Reclaiming Your Voice After Narcissistic Abuse.” In this deeply personal and vulnerable solo episode, I’m opening up about my own journey—three narcissistic relationships, including a marriage to a malignant narcissist that left me silenced, isolated, and stripped of my sense of self.

From trauma to chronic pain, C-PTSD, and the terrifying moment I realized an ex broke into my home, this episode is an unfiltered look into what it really means to lose your voice—and how I slowly began to reclaim it.

This episode isn’t just about surviving—it's about remembering who you are, trusting your body’s truth, and taking your power back, one boundary at a time.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode, I share the story of my beloved dog, Goliath, and the profound impact he had on my life. From his role in guiding me through past heartbreaks to his final journey with me to Colorado, this episode is both a tribute to his unwavering love and a reflection on the deep connections we share with our pets.

Goliath was more than a pet—he was a protector, a companion, and a symbol of resilience. His loss has been a solitary journey, and in this episode, I talk about navigating grief, honoring our emotions, and the bittersweet reality of moving forward without him. If you've ever loved and lost a pet, I hope my experience offers comfort and validation for your own grief.

Thank you for listening and allowing me to honor Goliath's memory.

In today's episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story of healing, growth, and empowerment as I prepare to speak at the Fearless and Flourishing Women's Empowerment Event in honor of International Women’s Day.

I open up about my journey through narcissistic abuse, the patterns I had to recognize within myself, and how I transformed my pain into purpose. Healing is not a straight path—it’s a journey filled with highs and lows. But through self-awareness, radical self-love, and a commitment to breaking unhealthy cycles, I was able to reclaim my power.

I'll also talk about the power of discomfort in personal growth, the importance of honoring your own transformation, and how stepping away from relationships that no longer serve you can be the ultimate act of self-care.

If you’re navigating your own journey of healing, I invite you to join me at this incredible event where powerful women will share their stories of resilience, strength, and transformation. Details on how to register are below!
