| 1/9/26 | 162. The Power of Moving in Silence After Narcissistic Abuse | Hey, Survivor! After narcissistic abuse, it can feel tempting to announce your independence, explain your choices, or prove you’re moving on. But less is more. In this episode of The Vibrant Survivor Podcast, I explain why moving in silence is one of the most powerful and protective choices you can make. We’ll talk about how narcissists respond when they receive no reaction, why oversharing leads to re-engagement and re-traumatization, and how silence helps you regulate your nervous system and reclaim your peace. If you’re healing from narcissistic abuse and ready to stop explaining yourself, this episode is for you. Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are. 💚Lesley Book your call here.

| 1/2/26 | 161. The Polite, Professional Narcissist - How Abuse Hides in Plain Sight | Hey, Survivor! Narcissistic abuse doesn’t always look volatile or obvious. Sometimes it’s calm, polite, credentialed, and protected by institutions. In Episode 161 of The Vibrant Survivor Podcast, we explore the polite, professional narcissist—the kind who hides behind charm, titles, faith language, or public service while causing harm behind the scenes. We break down why these individuals are often protected, where they operate, and how organizational systems can enable abuse. You’ll learn about DARVO, organizational narcissism, and why survivors are often dismissed or silenced when abuse doesn’t match stereotypes. Using Dr. Sears’ LEAN wellness framework, this episode offers grounded tools for clarity, regulation, and self-trust—especially after the holidays, when professional and community contact increases. If you, or someone you know, have ever felt confused, invalidated, blamed, or punished for speaking up in a “respectable” environment, this episode will help you name what happened—and trust yourself again. Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are. 💚Lesley Book your call here. Become a Vibrant Survivor insider here. Let's connect on IG!
