I’m so glad you’re here! This podcast will help you heal from the effects of narcissistic abuse so you can rebuild your confidence and self-worth and finally experience peace, joy, and emotional stability.
Hey, I’m Tekyia. A mom and survivor of narcissistic abuse. For years, I carried the weight of guilt and shame, feeling like a failure, convinced something was wrong with me. My confidence was gone. My self-worth? Non-existent. And I couldn’t see a way forward. I tried therapy, self-help books, motivational pep talks. But nothing brought real change until I realized that true healing from narcissistic abuse requires both God’s truth and practical tools that restore the mind and emotions, not just surface fixes. Now I’m here to share the truth and tools that bring real healing…the kind that restores your mind, renews your confidence, and anchors your worth in God’s truth. If you’re ready to start living with peace, confidence, and freedom this podcast is for you!
So take a deep breath. You have permission to exhale now. Let’s heal for real.

Do you look at where you are now and wonder if you'll ever feel joy, peace or have purpose again?
Are you afraid that what happened to you has somehow disqualified you from the life you were meant to live?
In this episode, I'm getting real about what the last six years have looked like since I got away from a covert narcissist. I'm talking about standing in the ruins-- the moments when I couldn't see past the pain. If you're in a place right now where hope feels impossible and you're not sure you have what it takes to rebuild, I want you to hear this. Because what I thought was the end turned out to be something completely different.

Are you ending this year still waiting for things to make sense?
Do you feel like you should have more answers by now — like your healing should look more finished than it does?
Does the uncertainty of what’s next still make your heart race, even when you’re trying to trust God?
In this episode, I’m talking about something we don’t discuss enough — what it’s like to end the year without all the answers. Not because you haven’t done the work, but because healing doesn’t always wrap up neatly.
I’m sharing about the quiet shift that happened when I stopped needing to understand everything before I could trust God with it. If you’re tired of waiting for certainty before you allow yourself to feel at peace, this episode is for you.

Does Christmas feel quieter than you expected after narcissistic abuse?
Are you confused by feeling emotionally neutral — not distressed, but not joyful either?
Do you worry that feeling “less” might mean something is wrong with your healing or faith?
In this episode, I’m unpacking what emotional quiet actually means after covert narcissistic abuse so you can stop misinterpreting neutrality as disconnection or failure.

Do the holidays feel heavier or more emotionally triggering than you expected — even though you're away from the covert narcissist?
Are you confused by feeling flat, overwhelmed, or unsettled instead of peaceful or joyful?
Do you find yourself wondering if these feelings mean your healing isn’t “working”?
In this episode, I’m explaining why the holidays can be emotionally difficult after covert narcissistic abuse — even when you’re no longer in the relationship — so you can stop interpreting normal nervous system responses as personal failure.

Does every boundary you set turn into an argument, guilt trip, or emotional meltdown?
Do you feel unsafe or guilty the moment you say "no"?
Have you ever wondered why such small limits cause such big reactions?
In this episode, I'm breaking down why covert narcissists react so strongly to your boundaries and what their resistance reveals about your healing. You'll learn why boundaries threaten their control (it's not about the boundary itself — it's about their loss of access to you), why their reaction is NOT your responsibility, and how their pushback is actually confirmation you're changing and growing. If boundaries feel scary, this episode will give you clarity, empowerment, and peace.

Do you say “yes” when everything in you is begging to say “no”?
Do you feel guilty for having needs, limits, or preferences?
Do you feel responsible for keeping everyone comfortable even when it hurts you?
Do boundaries feel scary because you’re used to keeping the peace at your own expense?
In this episode, I’m breaking down why people pleasing is not your personality; it’s a trauma response. You’ll learn why boundaries feel terrifying after narcissistic abuse, how your nervous system learned to equate “no” with danger, and three practical boundary tools you can start using right away. If you’ve ever felt guilty, selfish, or scared for protecting your peace, this episode will help you understand yourself with more compassion and finally take your power back.

Do you feel disconnected from God and unsure if you can trust Him again?
Does praying feel empty, scary, or like “what’s the point”?
Have you been carrying silent anger, disappointment, or confusion toward God?
In this episode, I'm sharing why doubt feels safer than faith after narcissistic abuse, and three gentle, practical ways to start trusting God again — even when it feels scary. You'll learn why your ability to trust God has been shattered (and it's not your fault), how doubt is actually keeping you stuck instead of protecting you, and simple steps you can take to rebuild trust in God one small moment at a time. If you've been struggling to pray, struggling to believe, or feeling isolated from God — this episode will help you understand that you don't need perfect faith to move forward. You just need to take one small step. And God is ready to meet you there.
