    In this podcast, I tackle a powerful viewer question: “Do you know of anyone who, after divorcing a narcissistic spouse, went on to remarry, build a new family, and live a healthy life?” This is such an important topic, and the short answer is: YES, it's possible—but it takes work. I'll share key insights into what's required to break the cycle of toxic relationships, including: ✔️ Doing the inner work to heal and grow. ✔️ Setting and maintaining firm boundaries. ✔️ Learning to trust your gut and recognize red flags. ✔️ How healthy relationships can feel “off” at first due to past trauma. I also share inspiring stories, including insights from Eric Carroll (Dad Talk Today) and my own experiences, to show you that healthy love is attainable after narcissistic abuse.

It's important to realize that going through this mess puts a ton of stress on you. Sometimes, we want a big, impressive victory to feel like things are finally turning around, but the emotional and mental toll makes it hard to see the progress. These experiences mess with your head, making you compare your past to what you hope for in the future, and it seems like you're losing big time. To break free from this, you need to stop obsessing over what your ex is up to and give yourself time to heal and move on. It's okay to take a breather and process everything you've been through.

Part of the problem Show Notes A discussion on how to get to the other side of a toxic relationship and finding a path to take your life back! In the early stages of this it can be almost impossible to see a pathway to getting to the other side of this. It often feels like there is no way through and that no one truly understands what you are going through. The key to moving forward is acceptance, re-baselining your life, and realizing when you are beating your head against the wall. You have to learn to re-focus your time and energy to creating (and maintaining) your own peace, building on the relationship with your children (if you have any), and ultimately removing the chaos from your life. This last part can be extremely difficult because you can become “comfortable” with chaos and in some ways might even seek it out.
