Mandy, you're awesome!

Five years ago, I was in a narcissistic relationship, working a job that made me super anxious (teaching), and dealing with grief (the death of my grandmother and the death of my mom). Today, I am happily married to my best-friend, writing a book inspired by my journey, pursuing a career in tech, and also posting random dream and tarot-inspired videos on YouTube. Where will I be? I'll be on everyone's BookTok, Facebook book club, and small and large bookstores. I'll be in a tech career (also dream-inspired), lol. I'll post inspirational videos to help other women out of narcissistic abuse (relationships, jobs, family).

I love your YouTube videos! I also keep procrastinating on YT, but seeing how authentic yours are, and how much success you've had through finding your unique mode of expression, inspires me to keep finding mine. Would love a video or blog on your YT process if you felt called to share!

Mandy, this was the first thing I read when I woke up this morning and it brought tears to my eyes!! It made me reflect on my own journey the past five years, and my own recent “it was there all along” realization. I have an amazing job opportunity coming up that I never expected would unfold the way it did, in a career I took a detour from for 6 years because life happened and the opportunities in the field where I live were literally non-existent - until now! Life has such a fantastic way of working out. So thank you for writing this encouraging & inspiring blog post, and congrats to you on all your success! Keep being the incredible writer and communicator that you are. Wooo hooo!!!
