Emotional Abuse Is Real

Send us a text UPDATE: After 80 episodes and 25,000 downloads, I decided to end "Emotional Abuse Is Real" back in December 2024.

Send us a text On today’s episode, I share important news about the future of this podcast before welcoming Charlotte, an emotional and narcissistic abuse survivor. Please note I only refer to Charlotte by her first name to protect her privacy. Charlotte and I have a lot in common because she too experienced narcissistic abuse in the workplace. As you’ll hear throughout our conversation, almost every detail she described was eerily similar to my own Rolling Stone workplace story. The creepy boss ingratiating himself into her life, the lack of support from her colleagues, and the company’s refusal to hold this man accountable for his actions. I am so proud of Charlotte for sharing her story on the podcast because it’s one of the first baby steps she’s been able to take toward healing. I hope her experiences will inspire other emotional abuse survivors to come forward.

Send us a text I am thrilled to welcome Lianne Torres to “Emotional Abuse Is Real” today. Lianne is a self-love coach, speaker, domestic violence survivor and advocate – and she is the host of the “Watch Us Thrive” podcast. Just like I do with “Emotional Abuse Is Real,” Lianne uses her podcast to not only share her own story of abuse but to raise awareness about toxic relationships, overcoming trauma, and healing. Like me, Lianne is devastated that Donald Trump was elected to a second presidential term. The way she sees it, the American people have returned to their narcissistic, abusive partner. We spend most of the episode venting our frustration and voicing our sadness because, even though it’s been a month since Kamala Harris lost the election, many of us continue to deal with a lot of raw emotions. And we're here to tell you that we can still be upset. This was a cathartic conversation for both of us, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Send us a text Although I initially planned to take this week off, I needed to record some episodes that directly addressed the U.S. presidential election, so here we are. For the next few podcast episodes, I'm chatting with women who, like me, are deeply affected by the election results, and still navigating through their sadness. I especially wanted to speak with women who, like me, are narcissistic abuse survivors directly triggered by Donald Trump’s win. On today’s episode, I welcome Skye Polk. Skye is a Dallas-Fort Worth-based content creator focusing on raising awareness about chronic illness and mental health. Several years ago, Skye was diagnosed with a blood circulation disorder called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS. She’s also spent the past six years in narcissistic abuse recovery, having grown up with a narcissistic father. Skye’s mission is to use her voice to help support others dealing with experiences similar to hers, so I’m thrilled that you all will hear our conversation.

Send us a text On today’s episode, I welcome a 26-year-old emotional abuse survivor named Lara. Originally from Germany, Lara was raised in an ethnic Turkish household under an abusive mother. Due to the rules of her culture, Lara was forbidden to move out of her family’s home until she got married. But once she turned 18, Lara realized she was in an untenable situation. With zero family support, and through her therapist's encouragement, Lara escaped her childhood home and moved to France, where she now lives and works as a high school teacher.

Send us a text On today’s episode, I welcome Jennifer MD Cox. Jennifer is a fiction writer, a licensed mental health counselor, a parent, a spouse, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community who identifies as pansexual. Jennifer and I covered a lot of topics throughout our conversation, but in particular, we focused on an emotionally abusive relationship she endured while a college student. What I learned from Jennifer is that members of the LGBTQ+ community are at an increased risk for emotional abuse because many are already cut off from their families due to homophobia. Since they are more vulnerable, we must keep telling these stories of abuse. Also, as the author of the novel Getting to Know You, Jennifer is working to change the narrative about LGBTQ+ relationships and emotional abuse.

Send us a text On today’s episode, I welcome Valerie Probstfeld. Valerie is a nurse practitioner, writer, podcaster, as well as the creator and host of the To Mom Is to Love platform. To quote Valerie, the To Mom Is to Love community embraces imperfection, and promotes love as a verb. My conversation with Valerie touches upon several important topics, including her own childhood emotional abuse, as well as the concept of medical bullying. We also chat about how we are both trying to break harmful generational cycles in our respective parenting journeys. There is something for everyone in this episode, whether you’re a parent or not, and the biggest takeaway is that we’re all guilty of being too hard on ourselves.

Send us a text Instead of my usual “Emotional Abuse Is Real” content this week, I have another special bonus episode for your listening pleasure. I’m back as a guest on Krista Dykes’ “Secret Mom Hacks” podcast, and this time we are talking about one of my favorite topics: Self-care for moms (a quick note on that: You do NOT have to be a mom to indulge in any of the self-care suggestions I make on this episode. Everyone needs self-care.) Krista also allows me to share about my terrible experience with a postpartum doula when my daughter was born eight years ago. To be clear, I think postpartum doulas offer wonderful support to moms, but as you’ll discover from listening to my cautionary tale, it’s imperative that you do your research before hiring someone for this critical period after your child arrives. As always, I’m so grateful to Krista for letting me chat with her about these subjects, and I’m thrilled to now share it as a bonus on my own podcast feed. “Emotional Abuse Is Real” will return with brand-new guests next week on October 23. Until then, please enjoy this bonus episode of my recent appearance on “Secret Mom Hacks.” Get the show notes for this episode here, including links to the articles referenced.

Send us a text On today’s episode, we conclude my conversation with emotional and narcissistic abuse survivor Josephine*. A reminder that if you haven’t listened to Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3 yet, now is a good time to go catch up. In Part 4 of my conversation with Josephine, we wrap up her story by discussing her acrimonious divorce from her first husband, and how she eventually connected with her supportive second husband. Even though Josephine is in a healthy marriage now, she and her daughter are still victims of her ex-husband’s coercive control. We talk about how the systems that should have protected her, like law enforcement and the court systems, failed her and her daughter, and why victims must educate themselves as much as they can when separating from their abusive partners. *Name changed to protect the guest's privacy So Meta Inspiring stories of resilience: overcoming struggles, finding purpose, transforming lives Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Support the show Get my free download, "Discover Your Brand Voice in 3 Easy Steps" Follow me on Instagram, Threads, and BlueSky Listen to the podcast on YouTube Please support the show by buying me a coffee!

Send us a text On today’s episode, we’re continuing my conversation with emotional and narcissistic abuse survivor Josephine*. If you haven’t listened to the first two parts of our conversation yet, now is a good time to hit pause and catch up on Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 3 of my discussion with Josephine, she opens up about her relationship with a man who ultimately raped her, which was followed by a marriage to a different, yet equally abusive guy. Josephine’s first husband was neglectful, battled gambling and opioid addictions, and plunged their family into financial ruin just as Josephine became a mother to their baby daughter. *Name changed to protect the survivor's privacy.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 of our conversation yet, now is a good time to go listen to last week’s episode. For Part 2 of my discussion with Josephine, we delve further into her relationship with the controlling partner she introduced in Part 1. As you may remember, Josephine discovered she was pregnant by this man, and decided to get an abortion.
