When Work Becomes War: My Story of Narcissistic Abuse in the Workplace

What happens when the place you're meant to grow becomes the place that breaks you?

In this deeply personal first episode, I open up about the covert narcissistic abuse I endured over 11 years in the workplace—gaslighting, exclusion, backhanded compliments, and subtle sabotage that eroded my confidence and made me question my worth.

I share:

• The patterns of narcissistic behaviour I now recognise

• The emotional toll of being the “different one” in toxic teams

• How the workplace turned into a battlefield for my nervous system

• The moment I realised I had to leave—even though I had worked so hard to belong

This is the story behind Kodennected Voices™—and the beginning of reclaiming mine.

If you’ve ever felt invisible, isolated, or like you were “too much” or “not enough” at work, this episode is for you.

You’re not alone. You’re not imagining it. And you deserve safety—even in your career.
