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?
