⚠️ trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of emotional abuse, medical gaslighting, and narcissistic manipulation. please take care while listening.
we know her as the author of veil of eden, but this is the real story of andra larkin (the version that never made it to paperback).
in this episode, andra pulls back the curtain on the 8-year relationship that almost erased her: the emotional abuse, the financial control, the gaslighting so deep she stopped recognizing herself. the wheelchair. the heart meds. the isolation. the silence.
until one moment changed everything.
this isn’t just a story of surviving narcissistic abuse... it’s about reclaiming your voice, your identity, your life. andra didn’t just walk away; she ran, she healed, and she created. and now she’s here, owning every inch of her truth.
