Welcome, listeners, to a powerful episode that's as real as it gets. I'm your host, Brandi Babin, and today, we're diving deep into the incredible journey of resilience and empowerment. I had the privilege of chatting with Vickie Lynn, the force behind @the_survivor_center on Instagram. In this candid conversation, Vickie shares her personal story of breaking free from an abusive marriage and navigating the challenging terrain of co-parenting with a narcissist.
But this isn't just another survivor story; it's a tale of transformation and advocacy. Vickie spills the beans on how her own experiences led her to create @the_survivor_center, a beacon of hope and support for those treading a similar path. We'll unravel the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and the nitty-gritty of teaching kids to cope with abuse. Plus, Vickie opens up about her empowering courses, 'Empower Your Kids' and 'Co-Parenting with a Narcissist,' designed to equip you with tools and strategies for navigating these challenging situations.
So, buckle up for an emotional yet empowering ride. This is not just a podcast; it's a lifeline for those in need. Stay tuned as we explore the chapters of Vickie's journey, uncovering wisdom, insights, and a hefty dose of encouragement along the way.
