Description

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Iman—a survivor, writer, mother, and van lifer—who bravely shares her journey of being “thrown away” after a narcissistic marriage that spanned continents. From finding love in Egypt that would soon reveal to be anything but, to rebuilding her life on her own terms in the U.S., Iman opens up about the financial, emotional and even physical toll of narcissistic abuse, the healing process, and how van life became her path to freedom and self-reliance.

We dive into the real definition of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), how women, and even men can be victims of  partners and parents with NPD. In this episode we discover van life can be a legitimate escape route and healing tool for survivors.

Whether you're healing from toxic relationships, exploring alternative lifestyles, or seeking stories of transformation and resilience—you don’t want to miss this conversation.
