Manage episode 494826116 series 3661060
In this deeply emotional and eye-opening episode, Tenya Eickenberg sits down with Caty to unravel her harrowing 33-year journey in a narcissistic marriage. Caty shares the subtle red flags she ignored early on, the escalating emotional and physical abuse she endured, and the quiet strength it took to finally leave and rebuild her life on her own terms.
This conversation is a lifeline for anyone questioning their relationship, feeling trapped, or needing reassurance that it’s never too late to start again.
What We Talk About:
- The early signs of narcissistic control and gaslighting
- Why people stay (and why “just leave” is never that simple)
- The toll of emotional abuse on children and how to break the cycle
- Finding support, building a plan, and documenting abuse
- How Shauna reclaims her identity — and her land
- The healing power of journaling, gray rocking, and safe therapy
- The life she’s creating now — filled with purpose, peace, and travel
Quote Worth Repeating:
"There’s nothing in the world that can make a mother fight harder than her kids."
