Today is World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day.

The thing about emotional abuse is that nobody sees it.
Nobody sees the years spent questioning your own reality.
Nobody sees the exhaustion that comes from constantly explaining yourself.
Nobody sees the way you slowly stop trusting your own instincts, your own voice, your own memories.

There are no bruises.�No casts.�No scars anyone can point to and say, "There. That's proof."

From the outside, you can look completely fine.
Inside, you can be fighting a war just to remember who you were before someone convinced you that your feelings, needs, boundaries, and reality didn't matter.

What I've learned is that healing isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering yourself.
Piece by piece.
Truth by truth.
Boundary by boundary.

And if that's where you are right now, still untangling yourself from confusion, self-doubt, or years of being told who you should be...
Keep going.
The person you were before all of it is still there.

You are not alone

I know I’ve gone dark, but I promise I will be back. Until then….
I had the privilege of joining some of my most extraordinary exploring friends on their podcast. I like to think of myself as their “third wheel” and good lord do I adore them.

Beef woke Jean and I up at 4am this particular morning - just setting coffee out for us at our bedside tables. Didn’t say a word, the aroma woke us up. She and I started to stir once the scent hit us and just giggled. (He’s a coffee snob so this is Jet Fuel coffee - NOT Foldgers) Time to get after it.
Out the door by 4:30am, We put in a full 10 hours of exploring before coming back to record their pod.

The usual for their podcast is to talk all things s*x, erotica and debauchery. Since there were two women on this cast, we decided that we would spice it up a bit. Jean found a short erotica story that she and I both read at the end of the cast together, and while you’re only able to hear us (I WISH we had recorded video on this one) I assure you that the laughter and trying to keep our s**t together while we did this was epic. I was watching co-host Jake on camera, as his whole body shook with laughter, and he even walked away from camera and Mic to try to compose himself.

I played some of the episode for my dad’s girlfriend yesterday and she definitely squealed a couple times 😂 Then proceeded to google a particular vi****or we discussed on episode, wondering if she and my dad had it .☠️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

They don’t, in case you were wondering.

(But they may soon ☠️)

I hope you enjoy 🤍

Sometimes it’s in the downward spiral of coming undone, where we truly begin to see who we really are. The more we unravel, the closer we get to being free. -

We fall. We break. We fail. And then. We rise. We heal. We overcome.

I remember watching the neighbor next door mowing his yard, I was just waiting for him to glance our way and notice the “lady in red” 😅 but thankfully he didn’t. 😆
If you’re not already, please give Portraits by A Lady Called Johnna a follow! 🤍

 Here is one of my favorite portraits with Discovering Teagan at an abandoned church in Alabama. She was such a good sport. It was hot and dusty but the wind was blowing through that window ever so gently and perfectly.

Built when structure and beauty were the same thing.
