Last week, I shared the story of a past relationship that went horribly wrong. In this week’s episode, I highlight the eye-opening realizations and life-changing lessons that followed. 

I unpack the narcissistic abuse cycle and how it can lead even the most intuitive, intelligent people to question their reality, distrust their body’s signals, and lose themselves in a void of distortion and self-doubt.

I share what this experience revealed about the wisdom of the body, rebuilding self-trust, and recognizing relationship patterns that mirror our earliest wounds—leading to a difficult but necessary choice I made for my own mental and emotional well-being. 

I also explore the connection between personal pain and collective healing, and why revolutionary social change requires us to face what hurts—in ourselves and in our world.
