Ep 34 Domestic Violence: The Insidious Nature of Narcissistic Abuse With Laura Richards

Domestic violence is a pervasive issue that disproportionately affects women, and when coupled with narcissistic abuse, it takes on an even more insidious nature. In today's episode, I am joined by Laura Richards, an international podcaster, #1 bestselling author, and speaker dedicated to empowering women. Through her global podcast, "That's Where I'm At," Laura has become a beacon of hope for survivors of narcissistic abuse. She talks about her transition from survivor to advocate, uncovering the insidious nature of narcissistic abuse within domestic violence, its profound impact on women, and the crucial steps toward breaking free from these toxic relationships. This conversation challenges our perceptions of "normal" in relationships. It highlights the importance of personal growth and community support, offering valuable insights for those seeking to escape narcissistic abuse and thrive beyond it

Hey, I'm Debbie...

I host the New World Normal podcast and write Breaking Normal... both dedicated to calling BS on the ‘rules’ that keep us stuck and burned out. Around here, we don’t do hustle-worship or cookie-cutter self-help. Instead, you’ll find practical tools, bold conversations, and a whole lot of permission to design life on your own terms. As a coach, I help values-driven rebels ditch the ‘shoulds,’ align with what actually matters, and build lives they can’t wait to wake up to. Beyond the mic and the keyboard, I’m a mom to two grown kids, proud dog rescuer, nature-lover, and live music chaser. And I believe this deeply: we don’t thrive alone... we thrive in community.
