Welcome to the Financial Secrets Revealed Series 2 podcast episode where Amanda Cassar meets with the fun and feisty, Dana S Diaz, a daughter, mother, wife, and a survivor of narcissistic abuse.

Dana shares her story of an abusive stepfather, a mother who never stood up for her daughter, then becoming the wife of a narcissist.  She wants to share what she’s learned.  Also, how financial abuse and the need for control feeds into the narcissistic narrative.

Dana published her memoir, Gasping for Air and feels that she is the voice for victims of narcissistic abuse.  She had been the ‘unwanted daughter’ in her own family, then the breadwinner for her spendthrift partner.  Dana only now understands what a loving and mutually respectful relationship looks like.

Amanda enjoys Lifting the Lid on Financial Abuse with Dana.  It’s a darker topic, but one that needs exploring, to help all victims become survivors.  And financial abuse is often just part of a larger picture of abuse.  We hope you’ve gained lots of insights from Dana’s story and can help others see the light at the end of the long, dark tunnel.
