Show Notes
If you’ve felt yourself slipping away into a version of yourself that you no longer recognize (or even like), but you are scared sh*tless of who you would be without the man you’re with, please listen to Silvana’s story.
Silvana is a client of mine who vulnerably shares the strength it has taken her to leave a narcissistic relationship, shift her looping narrative of, “I’m no one without him,” and feel peace around the woman that she is becoming (with or without a man). We also talk about what it is like to date again despite the fears that creep in and how she tends to her anxieties in real time so they don’t send her spiraling away.
Share this with that girlfriend of yours who needs to know she’s not alone 🫶🏻. And if this lands for you, I invite you to help other women find this information by following the podcast and leaving a 5-star review
Listen for:
✨ Why it makes sense that women stay in relationships that are painful
✨ Why she was convinced she was the narcissist/toxic one
✨ How the rules for conscious uncoupling don’t apply to every relationship
✨The reason it took her many attempts to leave, and how she finally did it
✨ The top ways she stays “awake” while dating
✨ The best advice for dating to ensure you don’t get into bed with another narcissist (or, at least stay there 😉)
