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.
I share how narcissistic abuse erodes your voice, your boundaries, your reality—and how financial manipulation, emotional control, and gaslighting kept me stuck for years. 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.
This series is for every woman who has ever felt silenced, questioned her reality, or wondered how to start over. I see you. I’ve been you. You have the power.
✨ Don’t miss the next episode in the series—an eye-opening guest interview with Tina, who will share even more insight into the subtle ways narcissists test and break boundaries.
🗣️ Let me know—How did you begin to reclaim your voice after abuse? I'd love to hear from you.

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!
You are not alone. You are worthy. And you have the power to create the life you deserve.

What if the life you were taught to want isn't the life you actually want?
For most of our lives, women are handed a script: Find the right man. Build a life together. Get married.…
But what happens when you stop looking?
Hosted by Darla Ridilla, You Have the Power is an unapologetic exploration of permanent singlehood, women's voices, freedom, connection, and what becomes possible when a woman stops building her life around whether a man shows up.
After three marriages, an abusive relationship, years of healing, and trying to date differently, Darla finally asked the question that blew the whole damn thing open:
Why am I dating at all?
Her answer was to choose permanent singlehood - on purpose.
This podcast explores what comes after that choice: the freedom, the grief, the conditioning, the friendships, the solitude, the creativity, the adventure, and the real connection that becomes possible when partnership is no longer the destination.
This isn't about convincing women to stop dating or get divorced.
It's about questioning the hell out of the rules we were handed.
Who told you marriage was the goal?
Who told you being single meant something was missing?
Who told you a woman needed romantic partnership to have intimacy, connection, security, or a full life?
And most importantly:
What do YOU actually want?
Because being single isn't a waiting room.
Your life is happening now.
And it already belongs to you.
