🎧 Ep 24 Why Narcissists are Attracted to Successful Women

🎧 Ep 12: Unveiling the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse


Are you carrying shame from your past relationship with a narcissist? You're definitely not alone. This episode is for every Christian woman of who's ever wondered, "How did I not see the red flags?" or "Why do I still have feelings for someone who hurt me so deeply?"

Shame after narcissistic abuse hits differently when you're a woman of faith. As Christian women, narcissistic abuse can feel especially confusing because we're taught to forgive, to see the best in people, and to love unconditionally. But what happens when those beautiful heart qualities are taken advantage of?

Today, we're having an honest conversation about shame after narcissistic abuse and why it's not your fault that you ended up in that relationship. I'll share why Christian women who are narcissistic abuse survivors often struggle with unique feelings of guilt and self-blame, and more importantly, how to break free from those lies.

Using my 3-step framework—Recognize, Recover, and Redefine—we'll uncover the truth about why you stayed, why you still have feelings, and why your tender heart isn't something to be ashamed of. You'll discover practical ways to challenge those shame-filled thoughts with God's truth and start seeing your story through His eyes.

If you're ready to stop carrying shame after narcissistic abuse and step into the freedom and identity God has for you, this episode will encourage your heart and give you hope for what's ahead.
