Be A Better You
The Be a Better You Podcast (formerly The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast) is hosted by Best Selling Author and Certified Rapid Reprogramming™ Coach, Allison K. Dagney. As a young adult, I met a man who I believed was the love of my life. We got married quickly and brought three kids into the world. But something was wrong. I was miserable. And I blamed myself for all the problems in our marriage. What I didn't know, was that I was being emotional abused by who I believe is a narcissist. I decided it was time to break free and step into the person I was always meant to be — confident and free to live the life I’ve always imagined.
I escaped, and I turned my personal story of transformation into a memoir. And now I coach women all over the world to help them transform their pain into empowerment, experience peace and joy, and start living life like never before.

You’ve tried journaling, therapy, cutting contact, reading every book on emotional and narcissistic abuse healing and yet, you still feel like you’re stuck in the same emotional loop.
In this episode, I’m revealing the ONE THING that most survivors overlook...not because it’s complicated, but because it feels counterintuitive. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be over this by now” or “Why can’t I just let go?” this episode will help you see why.
We’ll unpack the real reason healing after emotional abuse often feels impossible, and what actually changes everything (spoiler: it’s not time, it’s not closure, and it’s not just cutting them off). Plus, I’ll walk you through belief shifts you can make today to get out of your head and finally feel like yourself again.
By the end, you’ll see why this isn’t just a mindset tweak it’s the foundation for every lasting breakthrough.
