Set your boundaries what ever that might be. Then when you feel or see that someone or something is going to cross that boundary you leave. Always be consistent with what is your boundary, walk or run away if it needs to be
I used to jokingly put myself down in front of others. I thought it would be funny but it always seemed to end up being awkward for everyone. I have set a boundary with myself that I don’t do that anymore and it feels good that I can trust myself with that.
As Najwa said; ask oneself how you expect others to connect with you - e.g. something on the news will be important for you yourself to hear and you have asked to hear it but the other person interrupts with their own words. You have every right to express your disapproval saying again "I really needed to hear that piece of info but you interrupted". Say nothing more and do not enter in a debate with anything other than "you can speak anytime but that piece of info was only going t happen once".
Actually, I'm still learning about that. As a people pleaser, I have a fear when I set boundaries, people will call me stubborn or make things hard (maybe it's because narcissist trauma hasn't healed yet). I know I should just ignore that thought, cause If I don't set boundaries, my life will get hard by them. If anyone would like to share how you guys set boundaries, I will be very thankful.
It hurt to read that, but it is true. I have been having trouble with my 3 sisters. It started when I started standing up for myself. They liked me better when I let them walk all over me. 2 of them have not spoken to me for 2 years, the other one speaks to me occasionally. The one who speaks to me occasionally is the one I trusted and she is the one that broke me.
@@suziealcoser5095 I can identify and I just disowned what was left of my family. I allowed the veils to be lifted that showed me the one I thought I had some residual connection with was stabbing me in the back and really, my son said “mom, she never loved you, and they don’t care about you.” What clarity.
Don't give people the opportunity to keep treating you like you don't matter. Everytime you do that, slowly but surely you lose your voice. And with everytime you do that you loose a little bit of yourself. And here's the truth, you matter, you have worth and you are here to make a difference ❤
I feel you. But how to come back stronger in a situation where they are very close to you and cannot cut ties with them. They keep disrespecting you by crossing your boundaries.

Exactly. Going from self absorbed and only making yourself the main priority of the world....to opening your heart and giving your all to people you love and care about to only getting nothing back is unacceptable . I will no longer beg for the love or respect I give away willingly and free to others. I CAN WALK AWAY AND I WILL
Oh man, "You don't need them to apologize for the pain they put you thru. You went through it yourself. You felt that. Do you NEED them to acknowledge that pain/hurt" that was profound. Definitely struck my heart strings..
Felt every single word in this episode deeply. It's like Najwa lived my own life and is reiterating every thought, feeling, and emotion I am feeling. Growing up with a narcissist for a parent definitely make it so that you don't feel safe enough to be open and vulnerable in. It's something that my therapist and I are working on but this video gives me so much hope. Thank you for using your voice to bring healing to alot of people. 💖
As an INFJ/Empath personality, I completely align with what Najwa was saying, especially the "answer your own call". We gotta know who we are and not constantly look for male validation
@@ingridj7070 Or parental, from siblings, children, and work associates. They won't let you breathe? Walk away. I am allowed to be, think, feel, and learn without the approval.
It’s is extremely hard when the most toxic people are your family and they constantly mistreat you . I had an Autistic son and not one family member ever called me again . I was shunned and not invited to any family events because it was annoying. Yes my family decided to ignore me and it took me years to find my power . I received this message on every level.
I definitely get what you mean...I have been hurt the most by my own family,and having them blame me for pulling away and them acting like nothing happened has been the worst......
At least I’ve ceased to setry to persuade him that I am worthy Snd beg him not to ignore me which is what I used to do with my now ex husband of 26 years who had me so downtrodden and low that I hardly believed I could make it without him but eventually I realised I could covoming to realise I could manage without my husband took a long long time
“The price of someone loving you should not be you not loving you.” After a life with one covert narcissist after another, I really feel this. Time to go stare at myself in the mirror and ask me who I am!
22:00 reminds of Maya Angelou: “when someone shows you who they are, believe them [the first time]” It’s so powerful and yet I still have such a hard time with that lesson.
Favourite nuggets: "Don't gaslight yourself" "Separate what you choose to give from what someone else chooses to give you, and understand they don't owe you...but this doesn't diminish your worth" edit: (paraphrased) "Set boundaries with me, but DO NOT disrespect me" I just LOVE Najwa, she's that proverbial wise best friend everyone needs ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥💪
She literally just exposed how narcissist reel you in. They do it to everyone. Their next victim is always told how bad the last person treated them just for you to find out it was all lies after they do the same to you with their next person. Self love is key and it is a daily choice❤
I was contacted by one of his exs. She tried to warn me and like a jerk, I did not want to believe her. So, the longer we were together the more I felt and noticed the evil in him. I told him no more money and things escalated from that point on. His temper became worse!! DONE!
Maybe "narcissists" are just hurt people hurting people, using coping mechanisms, as they have been hurt. Maybe they do need " empaths" or caring people simply to set appropriate boundaries so that they can learn themselves that they can't get what they want from that behavior. Maybe the "nice empaths" find them and connect to help heal them and the empathy/nice people are also healing and learning boundaries, as most of them need to learn that also
Setting boundaries, communicating them clearly, upholding them, and NOT negotiating them is key. Thanks for sharing this video. It is so important to talk about!
Just broke up with my boyfriend of almost 2 years after finding out he has been consistently lying to me and cheating on me. I totally gaslit myself and my anxiety by giving him so many chances because I would focus on his positive characteristics. This video is SO relatable because I was doing everything she was talking about
To anyone who needs to hear this: everything you need is within you. shift focus to find that, and make it your goal. we all in the same boat and we can do this🙏🏼💜💜
Excellent. Especially liked her comments about 'not gaslighting yourself' to believe the pain wasn't as bad as it was. As a divorce lawyer, I see women gaslighting themselves all the time with comments like, "At least I have a home or I am leaving the divorce with assets." You are amazing, Nazwa! Your interview is soul inspiring.
A person doesn’t have to have all the traits of a narcissist but any form of insulting, belittling, criticizing, abuse, aggressiveness, gaslighting after I told them how I felt and to stop is where I draw the line. This person continues to project their fears and doubts onto me. This person completely ignores how I feel and honestly don’t think they really care. Only what I can do for them. I’ve dealt with a HANDFUL of narcissists/manipulators in my past: exes, parents, siblings mainly people close to me. I’ve always been the empath, the sensitive one, I admire that about myself they are beautiful traits to have. Sometimes I don’t get that same patience and understanding reciprocated and I don’t expect them to lol. I see where they’re at. It’s okay if they cannot accept me. I love myself. To have the emotional maturity and have a healthy conversation in these relationships has to start with that person WANTING to heal. But if they chose to blame me and others for their issues there’s nothing I can do. At the end of the day, I got to choose my peace and sanity. I’ve kept my distance from said person but how can you still maintain relationships with the child of a narcissist that you care about while maintaining your peace and sanity? I’ve communicated maturely and calmly to this person and they typically respond with hate and anger. There’s no winning with these people.
I was abandoned at two in an orphanage. I’ve spent my entire life slowly saying no more mistreatment. I took drastic measures to stop it while in work, around siblings and Mother, friends and so on bc I felt the discarded feelings again. I’m extremely honest with others and expect the same. So, I’ve been learning slowly to stand up for myself and be my best advocate. I’m tired of being someone’s afterthought. I value me and what I bring into other’s lives and if they don’t, then we’re good. You do you and I’ll move on to me. A psychologist once told my sister in therapy, “lower your expectations”. Nope not for me. I expect people to be their best towards me. No more crumbs here.
Sorry to hear also what you have gone through. ❤HAPPY you found YOUR POWER. Its taken too many decades for me to finally get the strength from being a Christian/kind/gentle... WHICH doesn't include treating me like a doormat. I read about this, yet I could never put it into Action on a consistent basis. NOW, I stand up... it takes a lot of strength at times;otherwise anxiety builds then it turns into depressionif not dealt with. 🎉Other times I can tell someone, "You need to get over yourself!"😊 I say it with such ease then simply walk away. Just was able to start that saying this🎉past year!
I listen to this almost everyday. It has made me strong and reminds me that I am valuable. I will never, ever let someone treat me badly again. I will remain loving and soft but AWARE of the signs. Thank you Najwa and Lisa, I appreciate the two of you.♥
This helped me move on from an extremely narcissist and toxic relationship that drove me to depression . I drew a line and said it ends here, blocked him completely out of my life. I got back my power and I'm at a much better place now.
12:00 message was 😮! Only a person that really has been in this situation understands. 💙 DON’T WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO SAVE YOU, NOBODY IS COMING! Save yourself, that’s self-love, not selfishness.
This helped me. I’m 3 days out of a year long relationship. I assumed it was filled with love, respect, and care. It was the push pull dynamic, and the pain of finally accepting the truth was hard as hell. Our beliefs of the relationship were not the same. I am broken and feel so lost. I gaslighted myself through the whole scenario that he was a good person. I have healing to do, and I do still have faith that I will meet someone who cherishes who I am. ❤
Hi Rose! I decided to be alone. The ENVIRONMENT nowadays is a challenge and paradoxical . People's Inteligence has been challenged, you know. But if you want closeness, let people know whats in the environment. Best Wishes!
I agree about the self love part. My ex said I was not making him happy. That is NOT my job! He is not happy and only he can fix that! My job is to be whole on my own and he must do the same and we grow together but narcissistic people can’t do that and will not! They pretend to change!
So spot on ,being empath it's hard because you just want to rescue the ones you love, your absolutely 💯 percent correct I just have to do work on myself and as hard as that is setting better boundaries from now on , I'm fifty two this year re education for ones self and introspection, and it's so hard and healing is difficult but I'm praying for it all God bless you and your family, blessings from Australia
So f#%$ING true! My ex never grew up even though we grew up together. He said I was no longer his peace. Because I kept arguing with him for cheating on me. In OUR BED that I still pay for till this day. He ofcourse kept cheating with this 19 y/o girl in our bed. Mind you, we are a year away from to 30.
This has allowed me to give up the struggle of wondering if I should allow myself to grieve, even though he was toxic, even though he treated me horribly, even though he threw me away like trash, even though I don't want him anymore. And yes, I can grieve. I can grieve the man I thought he was, I can grieve the lovely memories we made, I can grieve the beautful future I saw that I had to so abruptly let go of. I can still be in boss up mode, and it can still hurt.
This is a MUST watch for anyone going through a breakup. Omg, I should have listened to this right away. One of the most powerful things I have seen or read about heartbreak and loss.
I am in the middle of a break up. I wonder what's wrong with me? It is like I think I have done it all wrong. I am not perfect, that I know. I had to learn not to interrupt people (I am so excited sometimes!!!). I expressed the other day my feeling of deception to my boyfriend because he never seems to share with other people all the things I am doing for his son's wellbeing and education (I can not go to the meetings with the teachers as I am just a step-mother)and he just started to yell at me things like : "You are a narcissist, you think only about you. What you say sucks, it sucks, it sucks!!! These feelings are shit! I told you not to talk to me about those heavy feelings of shit!!!" There is a part of me that knows that it is not ok, absolutely unacceptable and the other part is thinking that maybe next time I will do better, next time he will sure understand that my feelings are just my feelings. I explained to him so many times!! I want to leave him but "what if he changes in a few weeks and we can have the life we both want?" ALL of my friends and family did not "feel" him as a good person and they are right : he is not the right person for me. He has also been physically violent with me 4 times! How is it that I still care and still stay? I am at the crossroad though : in the next few days I think it will be over. This video helped me so much!!! Something clicked last time when I expressed my deception to him. Thank you for this amazing video!!!
It hurts because you thought you meant as much to them, as much as you thought they meant to you. They get to be the coward, while you’re forced in the position to face the strength of that challenge. Love doesn’t easily die when someone hurts you even if they don’t deserve the love, there is an aspect that there is a certain blindness in love. It’s the path to growth and transformation. Most don’t choose this, most are put into this challenge. Fantastic discussion. So needed...
You need to remember that because you love you are the better person. You need to feel the loss of love and to give yourself time to heal. To come to a place where you are better and you can accept them not feeling the way you needed them to. Take as long as you need and also you can love someone and not be in love those are two very different things .
I feel this deeply right now. My ex bf ended things in such a cold way and while he seems to be moving on and living his life without a care, I'm forced to deal with all of this pain and aftermath and I hate to think this but it feels unfair. He definitely didn't deserve the love, time and attention I gave him over the last year so it makes me angry and wish I could jut unlove him. It's an awful feeling when you're not sure they really loved or cared about you.
That's why sitting back and taking honest inventory of the actual relationship is so important. I realized that I wasn't grieving the narc him/herself BUT that I was grieving who I WISHED they actually were. That realization immediately gave me closure on a painful situation. I was able to see several life lessons all at once.
I'm finally accepting the past 16 years wasn't real and it hurts so bad. The toxicity and abuse is literally killing me. I deserve to be able to love myself. ❤️
I always looked for happiness in other people, when it was within me all along. Show up for yourself, every time. All the love that you want to give and care for others, redirect it towards yourself instead. Anyone worthy should have some serious standards to rise up to in order to earn your time away from you. Once you find the happiness within, it's magnetic and everyone will want a piece of it. It's a lot of work, but it's a lifestyle not a diet. Great video! I am ordering her audiobook now.
Incredible person reading this, go after what it is that you want in life! Learn the skills, do whatever it takes! You are capable of anything! I believe in you! ✨ Love - Nat ❤️
These lessons are so powerful in addressing how we feel after being caught up in the scheming of a narcissist. It validates your feelings and helps you to release your emotions, re-discover your self-worth, and get that toxic person out of your life.
Word! When someone invalidates your feelings if you let them they slowly but definitely take your power away. I love how you talk about releasing your emotions and rediscovering your self-worth which is so crucial. 👏
Yes! Please find HG Tudor on utube. He is a brilliant narcissist who teaches folks how to deal with “ his kind”! He is amazing and a fabulous teacher!!!
The hardest part was forgiving myself for 18 yrs of physical abuse, but I learned compassion and forgiveness. 7 months later, I a feel so much kindness, compassion,and respect for myself ❤. Women, you are more than enough. How people treat u is a reflection of themselves.
Can’t get enough of this lady !!!!❤️ What an incredible woman she is and every word she speaks hits the core of my heart !!!!🌹 Long live my lady!!!!✨❤️🌟
I’ve realised that most of my friends were toxic and decided to quit. It was so painful. But then I found many good friends on Voicely, so now I can say that it was even worth it. You deserve better!
"don't gaslight yourself with your own pain" - 😦😬... Wow!!! What a thought. IM SOOOOOO HERE FOR THIS! 🍿💯✌ And this comment feed?...already! Love n support found here ..its really lovely!!!! WHOA. " I had proof... yet I was still questioning myself!"😲😒🤦🏻 yep. Been there before. With my own family member. Its heart wrenching stuff. Mantra. The one who broke you cannot heal you! THANK YOU 2 LADIES SO MUCH. GOING TO GET HER BOOKS. NOTES HAVE BEEN TAKEN. LOL. 38min thru 46min 🤦🏻 so much I needed to hear in those minutes.
Wow, this resonates so much. Her story us so similar to mine. I don't deserve someone's burdens. Being an empath it broke my self worth and self esteem. Hearing this is a big reality check. I waited around for too long. Now l see where l have been going wrong. Having compassion is one thing but at the expense of losing respect is not okay. Not everyone is a good person. I will truly do my best to be self aware. This is such a great talk. Thank you.
In the Arab culture, the woman has no voice, an Arab woman is expected to be obedient, a very cruel society. I am an Arab woman and I have been through a lot. I left, and I feel great.
We build ppl up in our minds. More than what they are. It's a reflection of us. We see the positive and are optimistic. I needed this interview. I have a habit of doing that. It stops TODAY! I'm becoming more self aware and learning why I do and allow the things I do.. I'm getting better daily. 💪🏽✨
That's so true. I realized after 2 years of mental and emotional abuse that I wasn't in love with the narc. I was in love with who I WISHED they were and kept thinking after false apologies that they'd morph into that idea. I finally had to see that I was not truly in love with that narc.
Here’s what I’ve learned that sped up healing to avoid repeating mistakes: this is hard to hear, but it’s not seeing the positive and being optimistic, it’s denying the reality of the negative to avoid confronting yourself and your lack of self esteem.
Here are my 10 extra tips to INCREASE your daily manifestations that I’ve learned over the years..👇🏾 1. Practice gratitude every morning. When you wake up, list everything that you are grateful for and feel that gratitude in your core. Feel free to write things down in a journal so it is easy for you to remember. 2. Replace your negative thoughts with positive ones. Every time you feel a negative thought coming on, make a positive spin on it right away. 3. Take ownership for things that happen in your life. It's easy to blame others however you will feel much better when you realize that most issues stem from us. 4. ALWAYS believe that good things are about to happen. By being open to new possibilities you are inviting abundance into your life. 5. Remember that like attracts like so you get back whatever you put out, whether it is good or bad. So do good AND received good. 6. Meditate for five minutes a day. During this time focus on how you want your life to be; but place your focus on how you feel AND feel that feeling as if you have already accomplished those goals. 7. Step outside of your comfort zone. Stop playing it safe and make that decision to finally go for your dreams. 8. Focus on activities that make you feel truly happy. When you are truly happy you have the best vibrational frequency to manifest your desires. 9. Avoid the naysayers and surround yourself with people who only lift you higher. Downers will be downers, don't let them drag you into their misery. 10. Don't be afraid to dream and know that you are always supported by the universe. Hope this helps! - Your Friendly Neighborhood Coach 🤍👌🏼
Don't look for joy or happiness anywhere other than inside yourself, don't allow others to rule how you feel, joyful or nasty, you have control of your experience.
OMG THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT TALK. In each talking point Najwa brought it home 1000% for me. Her words bounced up against the healing and work I have done and resounded sooo profoundly and truthfully for me. I saw so much of my experience in her stories. Thank u Lisa and WOI. I will be sharing this amazing talk with other women that can benefit and be blessed from hearing the truth.
Overcoming childhood trauma is one of the most challenging and important things to do. That will prevent you from all kinds of toxic interactions with others and keep them far from getting some of your energy.
But HOW?!? For 49 years my mother has been my worst enemy! It is evident in my former marriage and my choice in romantic partners that I do not know what REAL LOVE IS! I do not want to place blame on someone else...I just want to be better!
One of the best conversations I've ever heard about self love and being yourself in a relationship with yourself and those you love. Bravo. Nicely done.
You are you OWN BEST FRIEND. NURTURE, NOURISH, CHERISH, & WELL ESTEEM YOURSELF, is best. & Share your thoughts with your GOD. PRAYERS of Gratitude. Chances to LEARN. LEARNING IS GROWTH, GROWING, MATURING. THINKING. PONDERING & SHARING GOODNESS, DEEDS. MERIT yourself for taking action!!! Self protection methods. Obey is a harsh WORD. OBEY. LISTEN. HEAR. HARSH WORDS, 🤕 HURT.
I can relate to both women. Growing up as a middle eastern girl in Australia trying to fit into my cultures standards as well as being orthodox Christian. I’ve realised that a lot of us arab girls wether we are Muslim or Christian really go through the same cultural stigmas and we become what everyone else thinks we should be as “women”
She looks like the most beautiful angel leaning against the fluffy cushion, and an angel she is. Thank you… I needed this so much. I am so thankful for the way she articulated all that was said, felt and experienced by so many of us this conversation resonated with.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
She forgives herself for her patterns! Aww, that's cool. The patterns allowed her to believe in an unrealalistic outcome. She showed herself compassion and empathy to forgive herself for staying in toxic belief, situations, and relationships. Thats good. Me too girl. Me too.
Am beginning to love your interviews. Some of us don’t have people to advise us about things like this. We suffer in silence and allow toxic people in our lives to the point where it breaks our self esteem. Thank you for this. It spoke to my soul.
Amazing, this is totally me. Always trying to get people to love me, including my mother and at 57, I’m still giving that power to others. Definitely be listening to this again and buying her books ❤️
I did the same thing. I feel like women are put in a box with limitations. There's a lot of you must and have to because you are a girl. I feel like things are changing for women and it's about time. You are never too old to learn something new.
I've been trying to get someone to validate my feelings and acknowledge what they put me through and apologise. Needed to hear this video. It just gives them power, to withhold that as a form of torture. I just ended it - told them not to reply to me, as there's no future. Said I don't have bad feeling towards them, and wished them well. Now, I'm not going to check if they've replied....ever.
i've been thinking about this. i went to my ex' house and gave her a letter to acknowledge what ive been going through. im not expecting any replies anymore. it just gave her a power over my feelings and i didn't like it. i also wished i didn't self sabotage and chase and begged to death. it was awful.
Thank you for this discussion. After being treated badly by someone I saw my future with, I'm struggling to trust people and believe in the good of people
True, we don't need someone else's apology because at the end of the day, the apology is about themselves, about their need to unload and feel lighter and like if they're a better person. It's never about us; the affected ones
As a man in my 50s who only started recovery from lifelong PTSD and went no contact with my malignantly narcissistic mothering in my late 40s, I get a lot out of these videos and can recognize all the dynamics abused women go through as well as the recovery process which are detailed here. Narcissistic abuse is absolutely not sex or gender dependent, abusers and their targets can be of of any sex or gender.
I’m healing now from this whole story that I can relate too he changed everything about me to the point I have no self esteem left I have to build this again from scratch GOD use his children to see what kind of beautiful future we are heading too
The most important relationship you'll ever have in your life, is the one with yourself. Transformation is worth the pain of healing. The caterpillar doesn't know that the beautiful butterfly is what awaits. Don't stay in the chrysalis; the world needs to see you fly xx
🤯 when I tell you her book is a game changer. Cannot even begin to explain how much it is helping change my entire life. And I am in no way , shape or form being even slightly dramatic 🙏 truly gifted insight 👏
I think indifference is also key. If you receive a truly sincere apology great, but I think the apology is more for the one giving it. To rid themselves of guilt. For me, I’m moving on with or without it.
This is classic Anxious Preoccupied Attachment. The Personal Development School here on RU-vid is a great channel for those suffering with these thoughts n behaviors
WOW SO YOUNG YET SO WISE! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with everyone … this 52yr old is finally hearing this in a very simple way that even my wounded barricaded heart heard loud an clear! God Bless you and may He bless us all an guide us and strengthen us to see who we truly are meant to be and become that person and be free!❤️🙏❤️
My goodness I felt like she was speaking directly to me. I'm excited to dive into the book and thank you again for such a wonderful and insightful interview ❤ 👏🏿
Been very difficult to battle jealousy, narcissism, arrogance, self-righteous, egotistical, gaslighting characters under stressful circumstances as it has been in general for everyone. I am so grateful for the inspiration you have helped to generate within my heart and soul !!!! 🙂 You guys are, " EXTREME AWESOMENESS " !!!! Love you, have a wonderful holiday season 🎄🎉😎👍❤️🙏 God Bless 🙏💗🙏💗
I’ve had a similar experience in which although I was a victim at the time I was portrayed as the abuser, and even people who I respected and new the perpetrator well and they witnessed the same kind of abuse to someone else and criticised, they shamed me and criticised me for reaching out for help and setting up boundaries… that made me doubt myself and gaslight me…it’s has been a hard and long journey getting back to me and find myself🙏🏼 but what a journey, very well worth it!!!
Same thing its crazy i released the fear its the fear that makes us so in denial and then boom i became to angry i can see it so well like crystal clear all the games and manipulation. So i was so angry because all the delusional of fear is gone.
Acknowledgement is for the benefit of the offender, but we have been given the power to heal ourself by taking the right perspective - love for yourself; As for vulnerability, love people as you love yourself, live your truth, and expect that human being fails, so it should not be a surprise to you for your expected it and it doesn't change who you are; See everything as for your good
I can relate to every single word and every feeling she went through! thanks for sharing this and helping me to realize that I am the actor of my life and I need to prioritize my own healing instead of looking for justice and consideration from others😢🙏🏽
Damn, been in weekly therapy for years. Been feeling so stuck because I haven’t seen any growth, just coping. So many gold nuggets in this interview. Thank you.
I needed this video today! I can relate to people treating me very poorly and this made me question who I am. I'm never going to let someone have that power over me again but I agree that not everyone is going to be like this, so you have to let the right people in. I'm a nice person but when you're nice, people see this as an opportunity to take advantage of you. I agree with setting boundaries. This video was just incredible!! Everything that was said is so true! Najwa Zebian is an articulate and wonderful woman. I'm a fan and I will be buying her books! Both of these women are inspiring! Thank you Najwa Zebian and Lisa Bilyeu!! ♥️💐✳️⭐✨
This Resonated with me so much! This is exactly how I felt in my past relationship. He would play this push pull game with me Hot and Then flip to Cold! He was playing me the whole time! His Cold phase was when he was entertaining the Back Burner supplies! I know that now. I am so proud of myself I did walk away! Right after I found out he had been stepping out our whole relationship! I ended it that day. I have been NO CONTACT for 9 month's. I Blocked him when he tried to lure me! It has not been easy but I was not willing to share my man. Or allow a man to disrespect me like this. Actually he never was my man he was Community Man! He has not seen or heard from me again since that day. I am learning to Love me. It is a long hard process but I am going to break this Toxic Man cycle I deserve so much more! No more disregarding Red Flags or signs! My intuition was Screaming in the background I ignored it! Never again!
Wow. EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE contained so much wisdom! 🤯 I could listen to this woman for hours! Thank you Lisa for having this extremly eye opening conversation! Would be awesome to see her again soon here on woman of impact with you! ❤👏🙏
Wow I relate soooo much to Najwa ! I too went thru so many years of people disrespecting me, trying to bring me down and me wanting to have everyone’s approval , till I finally woke up and said no more this ends here 😤😤
I love how nahwa really improved in giving practical advice to people. She has gone really pro-active unlike before where she just kept on talking abt narcissism and abuse. We should all be responsible and learn how to really look after ourselves.
Whoa whoa whoa!!! The power of people sharing their story, their perspective & life experiences. I’m in awe how much this resonates genuinely thank both of you beautiful humans 🙌🏽❤️✨😘
The story of the little girl.... Finally I understand why I kept going back trying to be cheerful, trying to make him smile, trying to make things better so he'd stop treating me so badly. That childlike outlook on people, my loved ones have all commented on that and I honestly love that about me, but I had no idea it could have such a detrimental effect and bring about so much pain to my life. Thank you for this episode. So many eye opening points. Please bring her back ❤
I accidentally stumbled across this and have no idea why I even watched it but omg it's the best thing I have ever watched. I now know why I found it. Thank u so much!!!
This was the most powerful information and personal healing I have ever received in one go on every level. It brought so many things home for me. Life lessons 101 for anyone with a history of narcissistic parents, spouses (because of your upbringing) or others. An instant lesson in self love, self respect, self knowledge, and setting boundaries. Thank you both for these very powerful lessons. As women we are not taught this. These lessons are worth their weight in gold. I will listen again. 🙏🏻😊
