Life After Discard with Lauren
If you or someone you know has ever experienced being discarded by a narcissistic, toxic, emotionally immature partner...this is the podcast for you. Join me weekly as I share my own personal story as well as the stories of other survivors. Each week we will discuss real-life stories of early warning signs, the devaluation phase, and the inevitable discard. But most importantly, we will be exploring the healing process after the discard. As we all know, healing is not linear. We will discuss the good, bad, and the ugly aspects of healing. Let's get raw. Let's laugh, cry. Let's get hopeful.
