She hung out with rock stars like Keith Richards, Steven Tyler, James Taylor, and Jon Bon Jovi and chose the hit records for America's #1 rock & roll radio station, WMMR-FM. But her colorful, raucous, rock & roll life hid dark secrets.An emotionally neglected child with a generational legacy of stoicism and hiding painful truths, Erin had no real experience with love and healthy relationships. The marriage she thought would be her happily-ever-after led to 20 years of confusion, heartbreak, anger, and betrayal, all fueled by a malignant covert narcissist.Erin's honest, searing memoir recounts her self-discovery journey through a series of life's traumas and tragedies, her many bad decisions, and two toxic marriages. Her story will bring insight and guidance to survivors of narcissistic abuse and those questioning their relationships, and the hope that they, like Erin, can find a joyous rock & roll redemption." - AmazonPlease check out Erin's website!

Have you ever wondered what's hidden in your garden fertilizer or how organic produce is truly grown?   Our guest today is Erin Riley, the founder and CEO of Cabbage Hill organic, animal-free fertilizers. Erin's foray into the world of gardening and urban agriculture began with Hope Gardens, a landscaping company through which she has designed, installed, and maintained hundreds of gardens across Los Angeles, including those of A-list celebrities.     Frustrated by the manipulation of organic labels, Erin set out to make a real difference. Her commitment to true organic gardening standards fueled her advocacy and led to the development of a sustainable, plant-based fertilizer. By ensuring transparency and integrity, Erin is setting a new standard in organic practices.   Join us as we explore Erin's incredible journey and insights, and learn how you can make more informed choices to protect yourself as a consumer while supporting a healthier planet.   “You might be shocked to learn that most organic fertilizers contain byproducts from industrial animal ag, including bone meal, blood meal, feather meal, bird or bat excrement, and manure. I always say, let's get the crap out of gardening. You know, there's a lot of BS here, literally and figuratively, and we need to start advocating for organic and just turning the page a little bit for true organic, not organic because it's made from life, dead, dead animals, but organic standards that don't have chemicals and antibiotics and pesticides in them.” - Erin Riley   What we discuss in this episode: - What fertilizer is, how it works, and why it's crucial for new, high-yield, and edible gardens. - Benefits of using organic vegan fertilizer. - Horrifying ingredients found in some “organic” fertilizers. - The risks posed by chemical fertilizers.  - The role of plants in regenerative agriculture. - Composting.  - The phosphorus crisis and plant-based solutions.  - How to make your own fertilizer at home.   Resources: - Cabbage Hill Animal-free Fertilizer: Cabbage Hill Fertilizer - https://www.cabbagehillfertilizer.com/ - Investors - Cabbage Hill Animal-Free Fertilizer Co. - https://www.cabbagehillfertilizer.com/investors/ - Instagram: Erin Riley Cabbage Hill Fertilizer Hope Gardens (@cabbagehillfertilizer) • Instagram photos and videos - https://www.instagram.com/cabbagehillfertilizer/ - Facebook: Cabbage Hill Fertilizer Co. / Hope Gardens - https://www.facebook.com/yourHopegarden/ - YouTube: erin riley - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@cabbagehillfertilizer   ★☆★ Help us remove dairy from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/dietary-guidelines-for-americans-2025/ ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

On today's episode, Sarene chats with Erin Riley, a narcissistic abuse survivor, music-industry veteran, and author of A Dark Force. Although both of her ex-husbands demonstrated narcissistic behavior, it was Erin's second marriage that drove her to document her abuse. This documentation ultimately became her self-published memoir, A Dark Force.  Erin credits the writing of her book as her primary source of therapy following the end of a 20-year relationship with her narcissistic abuser. Throughout our discussion, Erin provides wisdom on emotional abuse from someone who has been to hell and back, mixed with a healthy dose of humor.

In this episode, I chatted with author, Erin Riley, to talk about how her long-term marriage to a covert narcissist almost took everything, how she took back her freedom, and how she's moving forward to heal herself. An emotionally neglected child with a generational legacy of stoicism and hiding painful truths, Erin had no real experience with love and healthy relationships. The marriage she thought would be her happily-ever-after led to 20 years of confusion, heartbreak, anger, and betrayal, all fueled by a malignant covert narcissist. Erin's honest, searing memoir recounts her self-discovery journey through a series of life's traumas and tragedies, her many bad decisions, and two toxic marriages. Her story will bring insight and guidance to survivors of narcissistic abuse and those questioning their relationships, and the hope that they, like Erin, can find a joyous rock & roll redemption.

In this week's episode of Next Page, Laura and Todd sit down with Erin Riley, survivor of narcissistic abuse and author of "A Dark Force: 20 Years with a Covert Narcissist." Through her gripping and candid narrative, Erin unveils her two-decade journey trapped in a destructive relationship with a covert narcissist. Erin illuminates us about the concealed nature of narcissistic abuse and the profound toll it took on her mental and physical wellbeing. Riley dives deep into the character of a covert narcissist, a deceptively kind and agreeable individual who hides a lack of empathy and manipulative behavior behind a well-crafted facade. She speaks on her childhood and how a pattern of generational trauma and emotional neglect led her to develop a hyper-vigilant personality, a trait that unknowingly set her up for manipulative abuse.Erin's courageous story continues with her rocky marriage to Fabio, the covert narcissist whose quiet and helpful demeanor initially drew her in. As she navigates through the red flags of Fabio's passive-aggressive behavior, blame-shifting, and avoidance, Erin slowly starts to uncover the distressing truth. When the abuse reaches a breaking point, Erin's desperate attempt to save her relationship ends in betrayal when Fabio brings another woman to Panama. This heart-wrenching experience, along with years of physical and mental strain, initiates her journey to recovery. Erin's resilience shines through her process of self-reflection, therapy, and acceptance of her codependent tendencies, which eventually leads her to break free from the cycle of abuse. Her invaluable insights serve as a stark warning and beacon of hope for others entangled in narcissistic abuse, emphasizing that recovery, though challenging, is possible with self-compassion, boundary setting, and supportive resources like Erin's memoir and advocacy work. Episode 42 with Erin Riley is NOT one to miss!Key Takeaways:Growing up in a dysfunctional family can set you up to be vulnerable to toxic relationships.Covert narcissists are sneaky and manipulative, often projecting their own self-loathing onto others.Trust your gut and recognize red flags in a relationship, such as passive-aggressive behavior and blame-shifting.Codependency can make it difficult to leave a toxic relationship, but it's important to prioritize your own well-being.Healing from narcissistic abuse involves recognizing your own worth, setting boundaries, and seeking support from others.Links:Erin Riley's Book - "A Dark Force - 20 Years With a Covert NarcissistWebsite - https://www.erinriley.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/a_dark_force/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/adarkforcebookGoodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75258085-a-dark-forceLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinjriley/More Information about Covert NarcissismAbuse Hotline Hosted on Acast.

To donate to the Covert Narcissism Podcast click the link below.  https://patron.podbean.com/covertnarcissismpodcast     Erin Riley was born in New York City and attended Trenton State College in New Jersey where she studied as little as possible. At the tender age of 19, she escaped to Los Angeles and quite by accident fell into what would become an exciting and influential 40-year career in the music and entertainment industries, choosing hit songs for Major Market Radio stations and developing new artists, helping expose their music to the world. She led the Philadelphia GRAMMY Chapter and dabbled in repertory theater before opening her greatest professional achievement, a children's music school called Rock & Roll After School, which taught kids to write and perform their very own original songs. In 2014, Erin delivered a TEDx talk on her work with children. Ms. Riley currently resides outside of Philadelphia with her French Bulldog puppy, Murphy, where she practices yoga, enjoys hiking in Valley Forge Park and is totally rocking life. She serves as Music Supervisor for the Amazon Prime hit series, The Recording Artist and is developing a podcast for WomenWhoRock.com.

My guest today is a new friend, though someone I've kind of known for over 30 years. Erin Riley and I led parallel lives for a while, both rising in the world of rock radio and loving life. Erin worked at KROQ in LA when I was at WPLJ in NY. As I traded the east coast for the west coast and moved to LA, Erin moved back east to become music director at WMMR in Philadelphia. We finally met some 35 years after we were both at the same event with Yoko Ono celebrating the release of the documentary "Imagine" about John Lennon back in 1988... It's a small world. Though I'm sure we'll wind up talking music at some point, that's not the subject of today's interview. Instead, we'll talk about how Erin's life took a sharp turn from the sex and drugs and rock and roll life to the point where she wrote a book -- not a memoir of those music filled years, but A DARK FORCE: 20 YEARS WITH A COVERT NARCISSIST. But we'll begin, as usual, with the latest and yes, shocker, there is breaking news. An arrest was made in the case of the huge Pentagon classified documents leak and, go figure, it was a 21 year old gamer in a chatroom. South Florida has been hit with torrential rains and biblical flooding, resulting in the closure of Fort Lauderdale Airport yesterday-- and all day today! Jury selection began today in Delaware for the Dominion Voting Systems vs Fox (not) News. The trial is expected to begin on Monday. And Trump is back in NYC for another deposition before NY AG Letitia James.... and that will bring us to the topic of a narcissistic sociopath...

"If somebody gaslights you over and over and over again, it does a number on your brain!" This week we're straight talking having a Narcissistic Husband with Erin Riley.

She discusses the cycle of abuse with narcissists, her husband being a covert narcissist, the love bombing, the gaslighting and the impact it had on her. She also shares the early warning signs to look out for. Erin's dog Murphy has her smiling but people not doing what they say will has her riled. Allan is smiling seeing former co-hosts Peter & Kamron host a charity mental health event but trying to promote anything on social media has him riled.

Date Aired - March 17, 2022 Hosts - Nick Brodnicki & Erin Riley

A communication coach in New York, a project manager in Kansas, and a “Movement Maker” from Louisiana join us in The Waystation to examine the consequences of leaning in too much - both at work and in their relationships. They share lessons they've learned on how to lean out, focus on self-care, and pass the responsibility baton to others.

Erin Riley fell in love…with the wrong man.   The next 15 years would be filled with confusion, heartbreak, anger, and betrayal, all fueled by toxic narcissism.
