Breaking Chains: Rising Above Narcissistic Abuse 50:13

Send us a text What happens when brave women decide to break their silence? Rising Above Narcissistic Abuse Volume 3 brings together survivors who've transformed their pain into purpose, offering hope to anyone trapped in the isolating cycle of narcissistic relationships. These powerful stories reveal the many faces of narcissistic abuse - emotional manipulation, gaslighting, financial control, and psychological warfare - tactics designed to keep victims disoriented and dependent. As anthology creator Ina Johnson Myers explains, many victims don't recognize what's happening to them, thinking they're "just being too sensitive" while their sense of reality is systematically dismantled. The authors share intimate details of their journeys: how Eula recognized God's voice telling her "you need to get out," how Regina's unexplained physical ailments mysteriously vanished after leaving her abuser, and how Vicki found herself financially trapped despite previously being independent. Each story illuminates the gradual, insidious nature of narcissistic control, where what begins as love transforms into a cage. What sets this anthology apart is its unflinching honesty about the recovery process. These women don't just tell you about the abuse - they reveal the exact strategies that helped them heal. From practicing gratitude and "scrubbing your mind daily with the word" to using poetry as a way to reclaim their voice, their practical wisdom serves as both validation and roadmap. Most powerfully, these stories demonstrate how sharing your truth creates ripples of healing that extend far beyond yourself. As these brave authors step into their authentic power, they create permission for others to do the same. Are you ready to break the silence around narcissistic abuse? Whether you're personally affected or supporting someone who is, this anthology offers the validation, strategies, and hope needed to move from surviving to thriving. Available May 15th on Amazon - let these voices guide you toward reclaiming your own. Support the show…

Through Rain and Fire: The Unstoppable Spirit of Women 1:02:54

לפני 10 weeks1:02:54

1:02:54

Send us a text What does it truly mean to be a strong woman? The answer goes far deeper than cultural stereotypes or social media buzzwords – it's about resilience, grace under pressure, and the ability to thrive while lifting others. Throughout history, women have carried extraordinary burdens. We're expected to maintain households, nurture families, advance careers, and navigate social expectations that demand we be simultaneously resilient and gentle, assertive yet never aggressive. For women of color, these challenges multiply exponentially, requiring them to work five times harder for the same recognition afforded to others. The civil rights movement gives us powerful examples of this strength in action. Visionaries like Ella Baker understood that real change comes from empowering communities, not individual heroics. Fannie Lou Hamer's declaration "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired" became a rallying cry against voter suppression. Diane Nash's strategic leadership during the Nashville sit-ins demonstrated how principled resistance could dismantle entrenched segregation. Literary giants like Maya Angelou, Zora Neale Hurston, and Nikki Giovanni transformed personal trauma into art that continues to inspire generations. Today, women continue facing significant challenges: economic inequality, health disparities, and intersectional discrimination. Yet the five remarkable winners of the Listen Linda Women of Excellence Awards show us what modern strength looks like. From Pastor Akilah Hart's spiritual leadership to Leanne Hendrick's community service through Beyond the Call, these women exemplify the transformative power of resilience paired with compassion. They remind us that true strength isn't just about personal achievement – it's about creating pathways for others to rise alongside you. Ready to connect with a community of strong women? Contact me through Facebook or email at classidefined@gmail.com to be featured in the Listen Linda magazine, appear on the podcast, or join our upcoming "Through the Rain" anthology project. When strong women unite, there's nothing we cannot overcome. Support the show…
