Ep 50 - Was It Love or Control? Healing From Narcissistic Relationships with Kelly Uchima

In this powerful episode, “Was It Love or Control? Healing From Narcissistic Relationships,” we sit down with award-winning mental health advocate and wellness creator Kelly U to unpack the emotional toll of narcissistic abuse — from toxic relationships to deeply rooted family trauma. Kelly shares her personal journey of healing after a narcissistic ex-boyfriend and how growing up with a narcissistic father shaped her mental health and sense of self. We explore how therapy initially caused a painful rupture in her family — with them even asking her to leave — and the unexpected path to reconciliation that followed. Kelly opens up about therapy, sobriety, and how she’s rewritten her relationship patterns to build a healthier, more grounded life. If you're navigating narcissistic relationships, struggling with family trauma, or wondering if what you're experiencing is love or control, this episode is for you.
