You’re not lazy.
You’re not failing.
You’re not “too much” or “not enough.”

You’re just drowning in a system that was never built for women like you.

We work full-time.
We carry 90% of the emotional and physical load at home.
We hold everyone together even when we’re falling apart.

And when we finally get tired?
They tell us to “lean in harder.”

No more.

✨ Stop blaming yourself for being exhausted.
✨ Start rewriting the rules.
✨ Because healing starts the moment you choose yourself.

That’s why I created the Surthriver Community:
a safe, supportive space for women who are done surviving and ready to start living.
A place to stop carrying it all alone.

Drop THRIVE below and I’ll send you the link to join us.

Because you were never meant to do this by yourself.

The things we deny?
The pain we bury?
The patterns we pretend we don’t see?

Those are the things that quietly keep their hold on us.

What we deny… we empower.
But what we expose… we can finally heal.

This is why I wrote Run Like Hell.

To help you name what happened.
To help you see it for what it was.
And to help you take your power back—one truth at a time.

Comment BOOK and I’ll send you the first chapter for free.

Because healing starts with honesty.
And you deserve to feel free again.

As a therapist and a survivor, I’ve studied narcissistic abuse for years, in clinical settings, in relationships, and in my own life.

And let me tell you...
It doesn’t always come in screaming or bruises.

Sometimes, it’s charm that cuts you slowly.
Control masked as “love.”
And chaos that feels like chemistry—until you realize it’s a cycle.

They isolate you. Then they love bomb you.
Then they make you question your sanity.

That’s not love. That’s manipulation.

I wrote Run Like Hell to help you name what’s been happening and to get you out of the fog.

Because when you understand what you’re dealing with, you stop blaming yourself and start taking your power back.

We see their red carpet smiles.
We see their success, their fame, their “perfect” lives.
What we don’t see… is the pain they were hiding.

These are women the world applauded... while they were quietly surviving abuse behind the scenes.

Because it can happen to anyone.
Even the strongest.
Even the most admired.
Even the ones who “seem to have it all.”

If you’ve been there too… you are not weak.
You are not alone.
And you deserve more than just survival.

That’s why I wrote Run Like Hell, to help women like you name it, understand it, and heal from it.

And a huge thank you to for her incredible research and for shining a light on these stories. Your work makes women feel seen and believed and that matters more than words can say.🤍

Alright ladies… let’s help the men out. 👀

Everyone talks about how hard it is to trust others after abuse.

But no one really talks about how hard it is to trust yourself.

To trust your gut when it whispers, “This feels wrong.”

To trust your boundaries without second-guessing if you’re “too much.”

To trust your own memory when someone kept rewriting the story.

That’s what abuse does... it makes you doubt the one person you should always be able to count on: you.

But you can rebuild that trust. I promise. 🩷

That’s exactly why I wrote Run Like Hell, to help you untangle the lies, name the patterns, and finally start believing yourself again.

If you’ve ever said yes just to stop the fight… or because you felt scared, guilty, or trapped.. please hear me:

You are not crazy. You are not overreacting. And you are not alone.

This is what happens when someone chips away at your boundaries and convinces you that your body belongs to them.

You deserve to feel safe in love, not scared.

Stop expecting the person who hurt you to suddenly grow a conscience.

Stop waiting for them to wake up one day and feel sorry enough to undo the damage.

Some people thrive on the chaos they create. That doesn’t mean you have to keep sitting in it.

You don’t heal by convincing the devil to change.
You heal by deciding you deserve better than hell.

It’s not your job to fix them.
It’s your job to free yourself.

For many women, “freedom” isn’t fireworks and parades.

It’s a daily fight for survival.

For dignity.

For the chance to live without looking over their shoulder.

This is why I do the work I do.

Why I built this community.

Because until freedom includes safety for every woman…

We still have work to do.

Dear Brave Survivors,

I know today’s news about the P. Diddy case is hard. It’s frustrating, triggering, and a painful reminder of how often the system still fails to name what so many of us have lived through.

Coercive control wasn’t charged... BUT that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
The most damaging abuse is often invisible: the fear, the manipulation, the psychological warfare that keeps you trapped while protecting them.

If you feel unseen or dismissed today, please hear me: your pain is real. Your story is valid. And you are not alone.

The legal system may still be catching up, but you don’t have to wait to heal.

Be gentle with yourself today. Lean on this community. You survived the hardest part already: choosing yourself.

With love & solidarity,
Dr. Nae
