Beyond Survival: Reclaiming Yourself After Narcissistic Abuse

Leaving an abusive situation is only part of the story. What comes next—and how do you learn to trust yourself again? In this episode of Not That Girl Anymore, Dawn welcomes podcast producer Brooke Haynes for an honest conversation about narcissistic abuse, religious trauma, and rebuilding a life that feels like your own. Brooke shares her personal experience with domestic violence, while Dawn discusses her growing advocacy work and the importance of connecting women with compassionate, practical support. Together, they explore how control can hide behind familiar beliefs, why healing continues after leaving, and how support can help you move beyond survival toward confidence, connection, and your dreams. Your voice matters. Your story matters. And your future is still yours to create. Learn more at embraceyourbrave.org (https://embraceyourbrave.org) .
