In this episode of Wildly Her, we look at what happens in the aftermath of leaving a narcissistic relationship. Leaving a narcissistic relationship is only the first step and what happens next can be just as disorienting. We explore the painful and often overlooked aftermath: the shifting friendships, the family dynamics that suddenly feel uncertain, and the heartbreak of watching people you trusted remain connected to your abuser as if nothing happened.

We talk about why this happens, why it feels like such a betrayal, and how manipulation continues long after the relationship ends. We’ll also look at the emotional fallout - anger, sadness, heartbreak - and the layers of grief that come with losing more than just the relationship you walked away from. Sadly, we may need to let other relationships go too.

Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to navigate this season with clarity, boundaries, and compassion for yourself. Because while the narcissist may create chaos around your exit, your healing is not dependent on who believes you or who follows you out the door. Your healing begins when you stop fighting to prove your truth and start protecting your peace.

If you’ve ever felt alone in the aftermath, this episode reminds you: you’re not alone, and you’re not wrong for choosing freedom.

In this episode of Wildly Her we're talking about who narcissists target and why. This conversation isn’t about weakness. It’s about strength. I'm talking about the similarities in all of us as survivors who learned how to survive, adapt, and carry others when needed.

In this episode, I break down the powerful traits that live inside all survivors, and how those very qualities become the strategy narcissists use to attach, manipulate, and extract. Not because you were easy to control… but because you were strong enough to endure.

If you’ve ever wondered why you, this episode will help you see the truth: You weren’t chosen because you were weak. You were chosen because you were powerful.

For so many of us in psychologically and emotionally abusive relationships, using our voice wasn't safe. It was met with silence, dismissal, punishment, or chaos. We learned to stay quiet to survive… or to scream just to feel seen. In this episode of Wildly Her, we explore what it really means to find your voice after living in emotional invisibility.

We talk about why validation and being seen are basic human needs, how the lack of them shapes our identity, our relationships, and our nervous system, and why learning to speak up doesn’t happen overnight. This is an honest conversation about unlearning the lie that your needs don’t matter, and anchoring into the truth that your existence alone is proof that they do.

You’ll hear about the difference between speaking from survival versus speaking from grounded self-trust, and how important it is to use your voice without bulldozing others. If you’ve ever struggled to trust your voice, felt invisible in your relationships, or wondered why speaking your truth feels so terrifying, this episode is for you.

This is about reclaiming your voice with clarity, courage, and compassion… and finally learning what it means to be validated as you.
