Nova really knows her stuff and has a straightforward no nonsense approach that hits it right on the mark! I've had the pleasure also of reading her book and consulting with her, and it's with gratitude that I say she is the go-to person for understanding how to understand and free yourself from the narcissist's clutches.
This podcast has helped me realize occurrences when I was being abused that I had no idea were actually abuse. Listening has been so eye-opening and so validating. I appreciate the frequency of how often you post new episodes too. For anyone who is struggling to overcome narcissistic abuse, please check out this podcast.
Extremely helpful to process and recognize what I’ve been through. Thank you 🙏
I look forward to each new episode to help me understand better my life experience with a Narcissistic Mum and Sister. Nova’s book Fake Love made me realise my situation and I’ve felt free ever since. It was a light bulb moment. I was so thankful I emailed Nova right away. This podcast is a highlight of my week. My Air Pods in and a beach walk has me nodding along as I agree and understand what I’m hearing. Looking forward to more learnings as an Adult Daughter of an NM. Thanks so much.
Excellent podcast that explains narcissistic abuse and abusers in an easily understood approach
Thanks Nova!
