Recently, I had the pleasure to be featured on Dr. Scott Hoye’s podcast, Chicago Psychology Podcast. We talked about my newest project, I Grew Strong, and the negative mental impact being in an abusive, toxic and manipulative relationship can have. We dive deep into the effects of this type of abuse, how it can twist your beliefs and your thinking, and how my story gave birth to this program.
We discuss why I started this online coaching and educational program and how, because of the massive amount of information out there on this topic, it can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to find help. After my own experience of being in an abusive relationship with a narcissist and my journey of healing, I knew I could help others do the same. I Grew Strong focuses on helping people heal and take back their power, since these types of relationships often make a person feel as if they are powerless. This feeling can linger, even long after the relationship has ended. The relationship may have been with a romantic partner, relative, friend or even an employer or co-worker. Anyone can be impacted.
I explain how the content of the program is focused on helping participants regain their confidence, truly feel the potential they have, take back their voice and independence, create a stronger focus on life and its various aspects, implement better boundaries and have the strength and ability to keep those boundaries! I also help participants understand how to safely reach out for help when they need it and be a part of a community of others who have experienced something similar so they don’t have to feel like they are in this alone. Above all, I help the people I work with regain that happiness, contentment and joy that has diminished and bring back the version of themselves that was there before entering that negative relationship – bringing him/her back stronger than ever! You CAN survive a relationship with a narcissist!

If you want help in healing from a relationship with a toxic and manipulate person, that may or may not be narcissist, so that you can regain your power and say, “I Grew Strong!”, please check out my program. I’d love to help you silence that critical inner voice that is always reminding you that “you’re not good enough” and that “something is wrong with you”. This program can help you love yourself again (or for the first time ever), change your negative thinking into positive, healthy thinking, stop second-guessing yourself, and feel understood so you can start really living your life.

Please note – I Grew Strong is NOT therapy or counseling. It is intended for people who are no longer in a relationship with that toxic person but are having trouble moving on and are still feeling the negative impact that the relationship has had on them. It is intended for women and men since unfortunately, it can effect anyone. I Grew Strong can be a great addition to therapy and self-help methods.
