Life After Narcissism
Life After Narcissism helps Christian women discover their true identity and rebuild a holistic life after narcissistic abuse—body, mind, relationships, work, finances, and faith.
Hosted by Shar, an identity coach, each episode supports identity discovery, internal authority, and values-based decisions so you can live with clarity, confidence, and alignment. Expect faith-aligned practical tools, expert conversations, and inspiring stories that keep the focus on who you’re becoming—not what happened.
Whether you’re stepping boldly into your next chapter or navigating the space between survival and self-discovery, Life After Narcissism provides a forward-looking, faith-centered roadmap for reclaiming identity and thriving holistically.
