Inside a Toxic Love : Gaslighting, Narcissism & The Moment She Walked Away
Welcome back to another episode of Motherloading. This week, Nicky is flying solo while Michelle is away on maternity leave after welcoming her healthy baby girl.
Nicky is joined by long-time friend Nicky Dwyer, who bravely opens up about her comeback story after falling for a narcissist who turned her world upside down. What began as an intense, whirlwind romance quickly unravelled into manipulation, control and emotional chaos.
Despite being strong, independent and sharp-minded, she found herself trapped in a cycle of trying to fix him, slipping into codependency while he chipped away at her confidence. Nicky challenges the harmful myth that “only weak women fall for narcissists” proving that these manipulative personalities can target anyone.
In this gripping and inspiring conversation, Nicky D shares:
-the early red flags she missed,
-how narcissistic manipulation and love-bombing take hold,
-the moment she recognised the relationship was breaking her,
-the steps she took to rebuild her strength,
-and how she finally found the courage to walk away.
She also offers practical tips for identifying narcissistic behaviour, understanding the dynamics of toxic relationships, and reclaiming your sense of self after trauma.
From intoxicating beginnings to emotional unraveling to powerful liberation, this episode is raw, real, and full of insight. Whether you’re healing from a similar experience or simply want to better understand relationship red flags, this conversation is a must-listen.
