Hi my name is Laura, and I am a survivor of narcissistic abuse. Four years ago, when I married my abuser, I didn't even know what narcissistic abuse meant, or how common it is. I am finally free and slowly healing; now I want to help others learn about and heal from narcissism. This is a safe space, and I intend to have guests from all walks of life on the show to help me learn even more than I already have. I hope you enjoy, and find a moment of peace here.  If you or a loved one has a story about your own journey with narcissistic abuse, please feel free to reach out for support and/or to come on the show.
