Have you been blamed for the very abuse you endured? Did the narcissist tell everyone you were the toxic one—while playing the victim themselves?

In this episode,  I break down one of the most devastating tactics narcissists use after a breakup: DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) and the smear campaign. Learn how they manipulate others, twist reality, and destroy reputations—while leaving you to pick up the pieces.

(My apologies in advance for my naughty fur babies you can hear in the background.  I tried EVERYTHING to edit them out to no avail! 🤣🐶!!)

We’ll talk about:

Why narcissists accuse you of the very things they’ve done

How smear campaigns are set up and why people fall for them

What to do when no one believes your side of the story

How to reclaim your identity, peace, and power—without needing to prove anything to anyone

Whether you’re co-parenting with a narcissist, navigating a false narrative, or trying to heal in isolation, this episode will give you the validation, strategy, and support you need.
