Last week, in part one, we talked about three common behaviors many of us carry after leaving a narcissistic relationship: hypervigilance and people-pleasing, difficulty trusting our perceptions, and emotional dysregulation or numbness.
In this week’s episode of The Love Your Life Show, we’re talking about how to break free from those patterns so you can move forward with more peace, confidence, and joy. You’ll learn practical, compassionate steps for:
Calming hypervigilance and reclaiming your energy
Rebuilding trust in your own thoughts and feelings
Regulating emotions and reconnecting to yourself
If you’ve ever wondered “I’m out… but why do I still feel stuck?” this episode will give you the tools to start shifting your life in small, powerful ways. This is your next step in healing — and you don’t have to do it alone.

If you’ve ever been in a narcissistic relationship (with a partner, parent, boss, or friend), you know the effects don’t magically disappear when you leave. In fact, sometimes that’s when the real work begins.
In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I share three common behaviors many of us carry after narcissistic abuse:
Hypervigilance and people-pleasing
Difficulty trusting your own perceptions
Emotional dysregulation or numbness
These aren’t signs you’re broken. Rather, they’re survival patterns your brain and body learned in unsafe environments. Coping techniques you learned to protect yourself in complex PTSD.
Today is part one of a two-part series, and we’re starting with awareness: how these behaviors show up, what they look like in everyday life, and why you might still be doing them even years later.
Whether you’re early in recovery or decades out, this episode will help you see your patterns with compassion — and prepare you for next week’s conversation about how to heal and move forward.

Feel Like You’re Always Fixing, Pleasing, or Controlling? Try This.
What if you stopped trying so hard to make everyone else happy… and just let them?
In this powerful refresh of the Let Them theory, I’m giving you a 15-minute reminder that you are not responsible for everyone’s emotions and behaviors. That’s their job. Your job? Taking care of you.
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever thought:
“Why can’t they just do it my way?”
“I’m so tired of being the one who holds everything together.”
“If I let them act like that, won’t everything fall apart?”
Inside, we cover:
What Let Them really means (and what it doesn’t)
How to set emotional boundaries without guilt
Why this one mindset shift can free you from resentment and burnout
Simple examples you can apply today with your kids, partner, or friends
You deserve lightness. You deserve peace. And you don’t have to carry everyone else to get there.
Let them… and love yourself.
Press play and reclaim your power, warrior.

Do you ever find it easier to just keep doing what you’re doing rather than what’s best for you?
Do you hear about boundaries and nod along like, makes sense, but when it comes to opening your mouth you talk yourself out of it?
Or maybe you’re like me, you’d say yes when you want to say no, and then feel like no one understands how much I’m doing and how tired I am?
Today on the Love Your Life Show, I’m here to reassure you that you’re not alone and the solution isn’t as far away as you think. There’s a tiny piece that most of the boundary experts on instagram and tiktok are missing that, once you learn it, makes all of this feel much less hard.
In this episode, I’m digging into why setting boundaries feels so hard for so many of us, even those listeners who grew up in the most loving and supportive homes.
As women, and especially as recovering people-pleasers and codependents, we often fall into a pattern of keeping the peace—on the outside—while we’re boiling inside. This episode is a warm and honest invitation to explore that pattern with compassion. I’ll help you see where this behavior started, why it made sense at the time, and how it’s costing you now. Most importantly, I’ll share the missing piece that will help you begin speaking up for yourself—without blowing up your life or your relationships.
You don’t have to go from silence to shouting. You just need to begin. If you’re ready to stop abandoning yourself and start building stronger, more honest relationships, this one’s for you. ⭐️

Warriors! Here are the strategies that work when interacting with narcissists or emotionally immature people. These are ways that I’ve kept my cool even in the craziest of situations and I’m so excited to share them with you.
You know those conversations that leave you feeling drained, confused, or like you’re the one who did something wrong — even when you didn’t?
The person you’re interacting with may be a narcissist, or maybe just acting like an emotional child. No matter, these tools work!
Instead of spiraling into frustration or self-doubt, doing these 4 things help you feel more calm and in control.
In this follow-up episode, I’m sharing clear, actionable tools to help you communicate with all our people, whether they’re currently acting emotionally immature or narcissists. These tools help you stay grounded no matter what they’re throwing your way.
Whether it’s a partner, parent, teenager, coworker, adult child, or friend, these tools will help you so much. They help me navigate tricky dynamics with more ease, clarity, and confidence.
🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to communicate more effectively (aka How to act like an adult when the people around you are not)
4 Different Relationships Techniques (and how to use them)
What to stop doing immediately if you want to preserve your energy
How to avoid over-functioning in emotionally draining relationships
How to shift from reaction to intention in conversations that trigger you
Why trying to “get them to understand” is a dead-end street
