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.

Why do you always assume you did something wrong in relationships? Why does your mind immediately jump to “they must be thinking something bad about me” when someone pulls away, doesn’t respond, or seems off?
In this episode, we break down the pattern of self-blame and obsessive mind-reading that many women experience after emotional abuse. You’ll learn why your brain fills in the blanks with worst-case assumptions, how trauma wires you to personalize other people’s behavior, and why this leads to anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion.
We’ll also explore the difference between intuition and anxiety, and give you grounded, practical steps to interrupt the pattern so you can stop spiraling and start feeling more stable in your relationships.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly trying to figure out what others think of you—or blaming yourself when something feels off—this episode will help you understand why and show you a new way forward.
