In this podcast episode, I share my raw and honest journey of falling into a toxic relationship due to my deep desire for motherhood and a romantic partnership. 

This is my experience of being involved with a narcissistic individual. I know the use of this term is becoming popular and going into naming/shaming/blaming is easy. This episode is not here to blame, it’s here to emphasize the importance of recognizing toxic behaviors early on and knowing when you are an ‘easy’ victim.

I share practical tips with you for that difficult phase of desiring motherhood or a romantic partnership badly.  Moreover I want to make you aware of the need for real change that goes beyond mere mindset shifts.
