Have you ever prayed and felt like your words were just hitting the ceiling?

Does God feel distant lately even though you’re still reading, praying, and trying?

Do you secretly wonder if His silence means you did something wrong?

After narcissistic abuse, spiritual disconnection can feel deeply personal. You may start wondering if God is disappointed in you, if you did something wrong or if His silence means He stepped back. In this episode, I share a vulnerable moment when I felt that exact way — angry, confused, and convinced God was choosing not to respond. I'm sharing 3 simple, healing tips that calm your body, quiet the internal noise, and make space to notice where God is already showing up. If you’ve been asking, “Why can’t I feel God anymore?” or “Has God gone silent on me?”, this episode will remind you that He is still close to the brokenhearted — even when you can’t sense Him.

Have you ever thought you were doing “better”… only to be blindsided by anger, grief, or resentment out of nowhere?

Do you feel confused or ashamed when something still hurts?

Have you ever wondered, “Why am I still affected by this if I’m healing?”

In this episode, I’m unpacking why “moving on” after narcissistic abuse isn’t really healing. I’ll talk about the pressure to get over it, why your body doesn’t let you skip grief, and what real healing actually looks like when emotions keep resurfacing.

Do you avoid making decisions because you’re afraid God hasn’t spoken clearly enough?
