Has your confidence and self-worth been shattered? Do you question if you're to blame for the abuse? Do you feel lost, stuck, and unsure how to move forward? Tired of constantly doubting yourself and wondering if you’ll ever feel whole again?
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 wonder if your past makes God keep His distance from you?
Do you assume God avoids your story because it’s complicated?
Have you been hiding parts of your life — even from God?
In this episode, I'm looking at the story of the Woman at the Well in a way that feels real and relatable especially if you’ve been carrying shame after abuse.
If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you from hearing God, this episode will help you see why that’s not true — and what changes when shame stops filtering everything you hear.

Feel like hearing God became harder after narcissistic abuse?
Ever wonder if God is silent because you did something wrong?
Do you question whether what you’re sensing is really God — or just you?
In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most overlooked reasons hearing God feels difficult after covert narcissistic abuse: shame.
I share how shame quietly forms through abuse, how it distorts spiritual clarity, and why struggling to hear God doesn’t mean your faith is broken. This episode will help you understand what’s really happening internally. I pray this episode gives you clarity and blesses you.

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.
