About this listen

Hi, we're Karen and Pamela. Two sisters who have been through it all. We've started this podcast to help other's like us who have suffered under the oppressive behaviour of a narcissist. Narcissists know how to get what they want using - manipulation, gaslighting, and control. These behaviors have a massive impact, paving a way for a lifetime of doubt, fear, and low self-esteem. This is a safe place where you as the listener, can feel heard and understood. We’re here to share our stories, the lessons we’ve learned, and the coping mechanisms we’ve found-and to remind you that you're not alone.Pamela and Karen Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • The Power of No How to Stop People Pleasing
    Apr 8 2025

    Are you struggling to say "no" without guilt? If you've survived narcissistic abuse—especially as a child of a narcissist—you may have been conditioned to believe your worth is tied to what you do for others. This toxic cycle leads to burnout, resentment, and loss of self-identity. In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of people-pleasing, why it's so hard to unlearn, and how to start setting healthy boundaries without fear of rejection or conflict. Learn practical strategies, including mindset shifts, boundary-setting scripts, and self-empowerment techniques to reclaim your energy and self-worth. Prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s survival. Join us as we break the cycle and take back control.
