Today we have some familiar faces joining us:
Melissa (from the episode on her narcissist neighbor)
And Maria Bowbanks, founder of Spirit Wellbeing from our last ep.

We came together today for an affirmation setting workshop with Maria, and we learned a lot!
We came away with new affirmations, and knowledge of how to do it right.

We hope you enjoy.

Oh, and please forgive the first... maybe 10 minutes of this episode. I don't know what I did to that mic, but it wasn't good (it does get better, I promise).

Let's see... I also forgot to say what my "high" of the week was!
I was clearly a little scattered for my first time with two guests! 
I still think it went well, but hey - you can be the judge of that :)

Today I am talking to Maria Bowbanks, founder of Spirit Wellbeing.
Maria is an energy coach, author, survivor, and much more - and she's here today to tell us about her experience with coercive control as a young adult.

We cover the relationship, initial red flags, gut instincts, stalking behaviours, and how Maria's escape to Australia, and the energy work she found there changed her life trajectory for the better.

I hope you enjoy!

During this episode, we mention a few books and resources to check out:
Power Up Positivity - Maria's book
Maria's website and work
Maria's personal growth course offering


I also mentioned an old favorite - Influence: The Psychology of Persuation - Robert Cialdini
And Maria mentioned the book that set her free - The Road Less Travelled - M. Scott Peck

Cam is a fellow trauma survivor and creator of Shit Creek Survivors podcast.
You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify.

Last time, we spoke about Cam's experience being shot on duty when he was working as a police officer, and how being shot led to him unraveling things that had long been buried.

This episode covers more of the beginning of Cam's life, and his first experiences with trauma and coercive control. We cover how this initial trauma lived with him, and affected him throughout life until he finallly looked it in the eye and processed it.

Please take care while listening, as there are references to childhood sexual abuse in this episode.


I hope this episode helps those of you who have endured similar circumstances.

Cam is a fellow trauma survivor and creator of Shit Creek Survivors podcast.
You can also listen to the podcast on Spotify.

Together we talk about Cam's experience being shot on duty when he was working as a police officer. He talks a little about what the job was like, the mentality of being someone who endures trauma for a living (because being a cop is not like other jobs), and how being shot led to him unraveling things that had long been buried.

This episode may be triggering for some, so please take care in listening. Cam's is a powerful story, and covers a wide breadth of traumatic experiences including surviving alcoholism, a coma and near death experience, ego, and ultimately childhood abuse.


I hope this episode helps those of you who have endured similar circumstances.

Please let us know if you have questions for Cam, as I am already planning to get him back for a Part Two.

Cam is a great interviewer, and I think there is a lot of value in this episode. While recording, I realised that we might have more in common than I thought - so I reached out to Cam to see if he'd be a guest on an upcoming episode to tell his story of coercion. He agreed, so stay tuned for that one in the next month or so.

Thanks for listening, and here are the shownotes from Cam's pod to give you more context, and contacts for him as well:

Listen along and learn about this type, which is just about opposite from the Malignant type. Last week, we delved into behaviours which are much easier to spot, most of the time. This week, we are talking about the complexities around doing the right thing, for the wrong reasons, which is synonymous with this type.

Boundaries.

For those of us who have experienced trauma, creating boundaries can be difficult - even in the healthiest of relationships. It's even harder to keep ourselves protected in harmful or high-demand relationships.

Today the girls will talk about their experiences setting boundaries with narcissists, and how you can do it too. With these examples, tips, and the encouragement that you CAN do this - we hope you are motivated to instill some supportive boundaries in your life.

*** In this episode, Allie refers to a helpful quote/mantra. The full quote is: "If one of us has to be upset, it doesn't have to be me." You can find this quote and other helpful information in Danu Morrigan's excellent book: You're Not Crazy, it's Your Mother.
