  • Faith, Freedom & Finding Yourself: Lisa Croke’s Journey Beyond Narcissistic Abuse

    Faith, Freedom & Finding Yourself: Lisa Croke’s Journey Beyond Narcissistic Abuse
    2025/02/19
    In this episode, Laura speaks with Lisa Croke, an ICF ACC Empowerment Life Coach and Leadership Consultant with over two decades of experience. She is powered by authenticity, non-judgment, and empathy and creates a safe, empowering space for her clients to reframe their challenges into their superpowers. In her life coaching and leadership consulting work, her mission remains the same: Empowering individuals to achieve their highest potential! Lisa's journey has been one of resilience and reinvention. At 42, she emerged from a 20-plus-year abusive marriage. Faced with the loss of her career, community, possessions, and a year of stalking at the hands of her abuser, she went through the court system and relocated 2,000 miles away to rebuild her life. Lisa has since worked tirelessly to transform her personal hardships into a powerful narrative of resilience and transformation. Lisa is dedicated to helping other trauma survivors, particularly high-achieving, accomplished women who have experienced relationship trauma, tap into their superpowers and move from surviving to thriving. Grounded in real-life experience, her warm, empathetic approach validates her clients' experiences and provides practical tools for reframing their stories, claiming their superpowers, and building a thriving life. In addition to her coaching and consulting work, she is available for keynote presentations, workshops, podcasts, and collaboration opportunities. Today, Lisa shares her journey from being a children's pastor and pastor's wife to recognizing and escaping narcissistic abuse within her marriage and religious community. She discusses how the church often fails abuse survivors through inadequate support and harmful messaging about forgiveness and reconciliation. Tune in now! Key Highlights [00:00] Lisa's initial approach to church leadership about marriage concerns [01:33] Lisa's background as an empowerment life coach and leadership consultant [03:39] How domestic abuse affects high-achieving women [06:27] Lisa's religious background and early marriage at age 19 [09:24] Church leadership and ministry roles and how this affected Lisa's marriage [15:32] Experience with jealousy and control in ministry positions [20:05] When Lisa started noticing abusive patterns [29:02] How most Christian women in leadership struggle with the stigma of divorce [38:16] The biblical perspectives and the church's inadequate response to abuse [41:23] Why you need therapy rather than relying solely on prayer for guidance [45:31] Lisa's personal growth and achievements post-divorce [59:03] Perspectives on forgiveness and healing [01:05:21] Final thoughts and how to connect with Lisa Notable Quotes: When you exist in that space and have that very loud voice, when that voice goes away, the freedom I felt because there wasn't someone criticizing everything. Even if you're beat up and you're not sure head to tail what's going on, you survived that.Our relationship with God doesn't fit in a box. And so many times church does market that. And those of us who have had trauma, we don't fit in the box, and we question the box, and we question the methods. And so we are the ones that are the instigatorsThe words that have been spoken over you, the actions that have been done to you, they don't define you. You are enough, and you are so loved.If God loves him, and if you believe that God loves him, then he is God's to care for; it is not your responsibility.We become shells of ourselves, right? Like, well, when we're married so young, we don't know who we are. But, I would argue that we are empathetic and we're gentle. There are reasons why narcissists attach to us.

    2025/02/05
    In this episode, Laura is joined by Brooke Kekos, a Trauma Healing Coach, Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT), and NLP Practitioner who specializes in empowering survivors to rewrite their stories. Her path, a testament to overcoming indoctrination, abuse, and toxic bonds, ignites her profound insight and unshakeable dedication. Today, Brooke shares her journey of breaking free from the Jehovah's Witnesses organization after 36 years and healing from religious trauma and an abusive marriage. She discusses the parallels between high-control religious systems and narcissistic relationships, the challenges of losing community support, and her path to spiritual awakening. Through her work as a trauma healing coach, Brooke helps others process complex PTSD, rebuild their sense of self, and find authentic connections with their spirituality. As a sought-after speaker, author, and advocate against religious abuse and domestic violence, Brooke's voice resonates far beyond the confines of her coaching practice. Are you ready for this?

I was all alone. So I lost family that was still in the religion, and I lost all of my friendships that I thought were forever friends.Being in a high-control religion or a cult-like system is abusive. And so you only know abuse. So it's no wonder why you recreate the pattern in your relationship.What you're struggling with now in life always comes from childhood. There's a belief system, and there are experiences that you had in childhood.Healing the past helps us embrace and empower ourselves now.Inner child work changed my life. It’s about going back, healing past wounds, and rewriting the story of who you are.

You can't make sense of chaos.The worst thing that ever happened to me is the best thing that ever happened to me.What happens is that with trauma bonding, it's the person who's hurting you is also the person who's loving you or soothing you.When you live in gaslighting, you end up gaslighting yourself.People mistake my kindness for weakness, and that's funny because I never end up being what they bargain for. I end up kicking and screaming because I will fight for myself.You can only love others as much as you love yourself.
