If you’ve ever wondered “Why me?” Why you — the strong one, the capable one, the high-functioning, emotionally intelligent woman — ended up with a narcissist… This video gives you the brutally honest truth.

Narcissists don’t choose weak women. They hunt women who were conditioned to self-abandon. Women who carry too much, apologize too quickly, hide their pain, and try harder instead of walking away.

In this episode, you’ll learn the 10 reasons narcissists target women like you — and why none of it is your fault. I weave in parts of my own 25-year story so you can finally understand your own nervous system, your patterns, and your survival responses. If this hits you in the gut, good. It means you’re waking up. ______________________________________________________________ Ready to go Deeper?

If you feel stuck, shut down, foggy, numb, or disconnected after narcissistic abuse… you are not broken. Your body is trying to protect you. In this episode, I’m breaking down how narcissistic abuse rewires your nervous system and giving you five trauma-informed, polyvagal-supported ways to help your body feel safe again. These aren’t mindset hacks — they’re biological reset tools that work with your nervous system, not against it.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why your freeze response is not your fault

✨ How self-abandonment becomes a survival pattern

✨ Why being alone feels so comforting (and how to create real safety with people)

✨ How to complete stress cycles your body never got to finish (Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing)

✨ The micro-moments that rebuild self-trust

✨ How to speak to your body in a way that creates immediate safety

✨ What actually becomes possible when your system feels regulated again

This work isn’t about becoming a “better version” of yourself. It’s about finally having the nervous system capacity to experience clarity, energy, desire, creativity, and connection — without bracing for impact. ____________________________________________
