Minister Robinson
The Call to Lead
The first time I heard the call, I tried to ignore it. I told myself I wasn’t ready, that someone stronger, wiser, louder should be the one to speak. But silence has weight—and eventually, it pressed so hard against my chest that I had to answer. That was the day I stopped waiting for permission to be powerful.
Leadership didn’t arrive with applause. It came disguised as exhaustion. It whispered in the aftermath of heartbreak, when I had nothing left to prove except that I could still rise. The call to lead is not a crown; it’s a cross you choose to carry because you remember what it felt like to be alone in the dark.
I am not perfect, but I am present. I am not fearless, but I am faithful. Every time I speak my truth, I feel the trembling in my voice steady—because leadership after trauma is not about knowing the way; it’s about being the light that makes the way visible.
There’s power in saying, “Follow me—I’ve been there.” The cracks in my story don’t disqualify me; they authenticate me. And when I stand before others who still shake, I see my old reflection, reaching through time to tell me: you made it. Now help them make it too.
So I’ll keep showing up. I’ll keep speaking. I’ll keep leading with love and righteous anger, with tenderness and truth. Because someone out there is waiting to hear a voice that sounds like their own—and today, that voice is mine.
Stay powerful.
The Alchemy of Pain
There’s a moment when a wound stops bleeding and starts glowing. I didn’t notice it at first—the heat felt like the same old hurt—but the light was new. Pain had been my language for so long that I forgot it could be translated. Today I am the translator. I’m watching what nearly broke me become the very fire that forges me.
I used to think survival meant getting back to who I was before. Now I know: there is no going back. What happened to me became part of my architecture. The cracks are not shame—they’re seams of light. Wherever I split, something holy seeped in. The world that tried to silence me accidentally tuned my voice to a lower, steadier thunder.
There is an alchemy to this life. The same hand that shook while I told my story now reaches for others still drowning. The same nights that swallowed my breath now fuel my compassion. Service is the smoke that rises when suffering meets purpose. And in that smoke I see shapes—people like me—finding the door I once thought didn’t exist.
I won’t waste what hurt me. I will harvest it. I will distill it into language, into action, into space for someone else to finally exhale. I will build sanctuaries out of what was meant to bury me. I will be the proof that healing isn’t a secret—it’s a set of choices, repeated softly and fiercely until freedom feels familiar.
If you’re standing at the edge where pain becomes power, take my hand. I left a trail on purpose—tools, audiobooks, and lifelines crafted by survivors who refuse to stay silent. Begin anywhere. Begin trembling if you must. Just begin.
Stay powerful.
Community Support: Either You Lived It—Or You Love Someone Who Did
Not everyone is a survivor, but everyone knows one. If you’ve been searching for a real way to help, this is it.
Our Partner Crests aren’t just badges—they’re commitments. Community Supporters keep the lights on. Healing Partners fund tools that restore clarity and peace. Survivor Champions underwrite the lifelines: Survivor Stories, the Healing Library, and on-the-ground resources.
When you wear a crest, you’re telling survivors: “You’re not alone. We’ve built a place for you.” This movement turns compassion into infrastructure—recurring support, practical help, steady community.
Choose your lane and step in. A little every month becomes a lot when we move together. The difference shows up in real people’s lives—today.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- Pick your tier—Community Supporter, Healing Partner, or Survivor Champion.
- Set a recurring monthly gift (even $5 matters) and save your confirmation.
- Add the crest to your profile or bio and link to the page so others can join.
- Invite one ally: “Stand with me—pick a crest and help fund real healing.”
Journal prompts:
- Which tier best matches my capacity and heart right now?
- Who in my circle would gladly stand with survivors if I asked?
- What impact do I want my support to make this month?

Survivor Stories: Faith’s Journey
Every Saturday, we lift up a survivor’s voice. This week, it’s Faith—her story premieres at 3 PM ET on NOW TV.
Survivor Stories isn’t about spectacle. It’s about truth—raw, unfiltered, and powerful enough to light the path for others. Faith’s journey is one of resilience in the face of relentless manipulation, a reminder that no matter how dark the smear, healing is possible.
When survivors speak, lies collapse. Shame loses its grip. The act of testimony transforms personal pain into collective power. Faith’s courage isn’t just hers—it’s a spark for everyone who’s still searching for their way out.
Mark your calendar. Watch with open ears. Share the link with someone who needs proof they aren’t alone. Because every time a survivor tells the truth, another chain breaks.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- Set a reminder for Saturday at 3 PM ET to watch Faith’s Survivor Story on NOW TV.
- Write one sentence of encouragement you’d give Faith—and then turn it inward toward yourself.
- Share the Survivor Stories page link privately with someone who may need it.
- Spend 5 minutes browsing the Healing Library for resources connected to your journey.
Journal prompts:
- What part of my story am I ready to say out loud?
- How does hearing another survivor’s journey change the way I see my own?
- Who in my life needs to hear that they aren’t alone?

Tech Skills for Survivors: Tools That Build Freedom
Abusers count on your confusion. We count on your capacity to learn. Tech isn’t just gadgets—it’s leverage, privacy, and escape routes.
When you understand the basics—passwords, backups, screenshots, calendars—gaslighting loses power. Evidence gets organized. Boundaries get enforced. Independence becomes practical, not theoretical.
You don’t need to be “good with computers.” You need a few repeatable moves that protect your accounts, preserve your proof, and help you communicate on your terms. That’s what we’ll teach on Oct 15.
Show up. Bring your questions. Leave with a simple setup that makes your world safer and your story stronger.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- Install a password manager and change 3 high-risk passwords (email, phone carrier, bank).
- Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for your main email and social accounts.
- Create a “Receipts” folder: save 3 screenshots with timestamps + short captions.
- Set a calendar reminder for Oct 15 (Tech Webinar) with the RSVP email attached.
Journal prompts:
- Where does tech make me feel anxious—and what one skill would reduce that today?
- Which account, if secured, would give me the most peace right now?
- What proof do I already have that I can learn fast when it matters?

Covert Narcissist: Flying Monkeys and Outsourced Attacks
The covert narcissist rarely dirties their own hands. Instead, they send others—the “flying monkeys”—to do the work of confusion, intimidation, and smear.
This tactic keeps their mask clean while you look like the problem. Friends, coworkers, even family can be recruited to question you, corner you, or pressure you back into silence. It’s manipulation by proxy—and it’s meant to leave you isolated and outnumbered.
But the truth is this: those monkeys only carry weight if you keep responding. You don’t need to fight every messenger. You need to recognize the pattern, cut off their access to your energy, and build a circle that knows your side of the story.
Every time you refuse to chase the lies, every time you step back from the performance, you weaken the narcissist’s strategy. Your power is in clarity, not in combat. Let your evidence, your calm, and your truth dismantle the show they’ve staged.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- List who delivers the “messages” for the narcissist—recognize the pattern.
- Draft one neutral response line: “Thank you, I’ll address this directly with them.”
- Save receipts of indirect attacks (texts, social posts, voicemails).
- Choose one ally and brief them calmly on the pattern you’ve noticed.
Journal prompts:
- Who have I noticed repeating their words for them?
- What would it feel like to disengage from the messengers?
- Which ally can I trust to hear my truth without distortion?

Confidence vs. Gaslighting: Reclaiming Self-Trust
They told you that you couldn’t trust yourself. Every time you felt certain, they twisted the scene until you doubted your own eyes.
That’s what gaslighting does—it erodes confidence, brick by brick, until self-doubt becomes your second skin. You stop trusting your memory, your instincts, even your heartbeat. But hear this: their distortion doesn’t erase your truth. Confidence can be rebuilt, and it starts by choosing your own voice over their script.
Confidence is not arrogance. It’s the quiet strength of saying, “I know what I saw. I know how I felt.” The narcissist wants you to surrender that certainty, because your clarity is their undoing. When you anchor to your truth, their power collapses.
Every time you record what happened, every time you rehearse your boundary out loud, every time you repeat your truth until it feels solid again—you are reforging confidence. Step by step, you are taking back the one weapon they could never hold forever: your belief in yourself.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- Write down three moments this week where you doubted yourself—then record the facts exactly as they happened.
- Stand in front of a mirror and rehearse one confidence line: “I trust what I know. My reality is valid.”
- Call or text one ally: “I need a reality check. Here’s what happened. Do you see it too?”
- Create a “Confidence Folder” on your phone or computer—start saving logs, screenshots, and affirmations in one place.
Journal prompts:
- When did I first learn to doubt myself—and whose voice taught me that?
- What evidence today proves my reality is solid?
- What does confidence in my own voice feel like in my body?

Reclaiming Narrative: Your Voice Is the Exit
They built a story where you were the problem. You survived it—and now you’re writing the ending.
Narcissistic abuse thrives on silence and confusion. When you speak your truth—calm, specific, consistent—their version collapses. Recovery isn’t loud; it’s steady. It’s the daily practice of choosing clarity over chaos.
Your voice doesn’t need permission. It needs rhythm. A simple 60-second truth spoken out loud can turn the lights back on inside your mind. One boundary, one ally, one repeated fact—this is how momentum starts and lies lose their grip.
Today is not about convincing the crowd. It’s about aligning with yourself. When your words, boundaries, and actions match, you walk out of their story and into your own. That’s the exit—and it’s been inside you the whole time.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- Write a 60-second truth: what happened, what it cost, what you’re doing now.
- Record a calm voice note reading it; save the file to a “Narrative” folder.
- Choose one boundary for the weekend and tell an ally who will hold you to it.
- If ready, email your 60-second truth to be considered for NOW TV.
Journal prompts:
- What truth am I ready to say out loud—without defending it?
- Which boundary will protect that truth this weekend?
- Who is my steady ally for accountability?

Smear Campaigns: They Need the Crowd More Than You
When gaslighting fails, they go public. That’s the smear. Suddenly whispers, rumors, and side-eyes become their weapon of choice.
Smear campaigns are designed to isolate you, to recruit the crowd, and to make you spend your energy defending instead of healing. The narcissist thrives on the spectacle—they want the drama. But here’s the secret: you don’t need the crowd. You only need your evidence, your calm, and your circle.
Every lie they spread is just noise until you answer it with proof. Every whisper dies when you refuse to fuel it. Your job isn’t to outshout them—it’s to stand steady, repeat your truth once, and let your actions do the rest.
This is how smear campaigns collapse: not when they stop talking, but when you stop chasing. You hold the facts. You hold the receipts. You hold the right to disengage. That’s real power, and it’s yours to claim.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- Draft a neutral 3-sentence statement you can reuse if needed.
- Collect third-party screenshots with timestamps and URLs.
- Repeat your brief once, then disengage—no over-explaining.
- Privately share your summary with 1–2 allies you trust.
Journal prompts:
- Who in my life needs facts vs. who only wants drama?
- What am I officially done explaining?
- Where will I spend my energy instead of defending myself?

Gaslighting: Protecting Their Reality
When children are gaslit, they don’t just question facts — they learn to distrust themselves. That wound can follow them for life if we don’t intervene.
Narcissists twist even a child’s small mistakes into “proof” they can’t trust their memory. They interrupt, override, and inject doubt until the child believes silence is safer than truth. This is not discipline. This is erasure. And it leaves scars deeper than we see.
Your role as protector is not to argue with the abuser in front of your child. It’s to anchor your child back to reality with calm repetition, validation, and safety. Children heal when they hear: “I believe you. Here’s what I saw. Let’s figure it out together.”
Every time you create a micro-win — a three-minute game where the child succeeds and you record it, a test paper saved with their name in their own hand — you’re building evidence against the lie. You’re teaching them: “Your eyes and your voice matter.” That is the antidote to gaslighting.
Do this today (10–15 minutes each):
- Mirror and validate: “I hear you. Here’s what I saw. Let’s test it together.”
- Turn learning into a micro-win game (3 minutes) and record the success.
- Save school artifacts — assignments, drawings, tests — in a dated folder.
- Script one interference line: “Please let her answer on her own.”
Journal prompts:
- What micro-win can I celebrate with my child this week?
- What does safety look like for my child in daily life?
- Where can I step in with a protective script?
