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.

In this powerful episode of The Be a Better You Podcast, we dive deep into neurodivergence, neuroplasticity, and what it truly means to work with your brain instead of against it — especially when you're recovering from emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, or toxic relationships that made you believe something was fundamentally wrong with you.
What we cover:
- What neurodivergence really means — and why it may describe far more of us than traditional diagnoses suggest
- The little-known facts about ADHD, executive dysfunction, and emotional dysregulation that nobody talks about
- Why survivors of narcissistic abuse and emotional abuse often experience patterns that look and feel neurodivergent — and what that means for your healing
- The neuroscience of neural plasticity: how your brain can literally rewire itself at any age, and why recovery is not just possible — it's biological
- A real listener story (T's story) about freezing, overwhelm, and the panic of trying to build new habits after years of surviving
- The one question that can unlock your ability to take action and finally follow through
- A practical, evidence-based method for shifting the limiting beliefs installed by narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, and chronic self-doubt
- Tools for ADHD brains, anxious brains, and trauma-conditioned brains to regulate, start, and complete
Whether you have a formal diagnosis of ADHD, autism, or another neurodivergent condition — or you simply feel like your brain works differently and nobody has ever explained why — this episode will normalize your experience, validate your struggle, and give you a real, science-backed path forward.
If you've been told you're "too much," "too scattered," "too sensitive," or "not capable of following through," this episode is your answer. Narcissistic abusers and emotional abusers often weaponize the way our minds work. Today, we take that back.
