Trauma. Relationships. Money.

They are connected in ways we do not talk about nearly enough.

I recently had the opportunity to have a virtual chat with the lovely Cara Chugg, all the way in Australia, about financial coercion, losing trust in yourself, why “just leave” is rarely that simple, and what it can look like to find your way back to yourself.

The full article is here:

What did you already know about financial coercion?

What surprised you?

And what would you want to know more about?

People imagine abuse as obvious cruelty. Narcissistic abuse can be much harder to name.

It can look like being adored one day and devalued the next. A conversation that somehow ends with YOU apologizing. A “joke” that humiliates you. Affection after cruelty. Facts being rewritten. Your reaction becoming the problem while the behaviour that caused it disappears from the conversation.

The result? You stop asking, “Is this okay?” and start asking, “Am I overreacting?”

TODAY’S TAKEAWAY:

Don’t judge a relationship only by its best moments. Look at the PATTERN.

Ask yourself:
• Do I feel increasingly clear—or increasingly confused?
• Can this person take genuine accountability?
• Is there reciprocity, or am I doing most of the emotional work?
• Do their words and behaviour consistently match?

One bad day does not make someone a narcissist. A repeated pattern of manipulation, entitlement, exploitation, lack of empathy and relational harm deserves your attention.

What was the behaviour you once normalized that you now see differently?

Heal. Grow. Love.

⁠
Healthy love is:⁠

Even when you try to downplay it.

You might notice:
• tension
• exhaustion
• irritability

👉 That’s not random.

That’s your nervous system responding to what it’s been through.

Healing isn’t just emotional.

It’s physical too.

If your body feels constantly “on,” my workbook helps you slow that down. Link in bio.

You didn’t:
• create the behavior
• force the pattern
• make them act this way

But you've been carrying the weight of it.

👉 That ends here.

Save this.

Because responsibility got shifted onto you.
Maybe you were told:
you’re too much
you’re too emotional
you’re the problem
So now…
You carry it.
👉 That doesn’t make it true.

If you’re stuck in this, support is available.
