Nobody talks about this part…The part where you leave… but mentally, you’re still not free.The part where you’re healing… but still making mistakes.The part where you question your worth… even after surviving.In this episode of TalksWithMiah, we get real about what healing after abuse actually looks like, raw, messy, and honest.If you’ve ever felt like you’re moving forward but still hurting… this is for you. 💛

In this episode, I am talking about something many survivors silently struggle with, feeling “not okay” even after the abuse has ended.Why do emotions hit harder when you’re finally safe? Why do some days feel strong and hopeful, and others feel heavy and exhausting?Healing is not linear. Trauma doesn’t just disappear because the danger is gone. Your mind may know you’re safe, but your body can still be catching up.In this episode, I’m breaking down the reality of survival mode, delayed pain, nervous system responses, and why rest is not weakness, it’s part of recovery.If you’ve ever questioned yourself for struggling after leaving, this conversation is for you.You are not broken. You are healing. And both strength and softness can exist at the same time.Talks with Miah. Encouraging, empowering, and supporting survivors of domestic abuse and violence.

Dating after Abuse can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even unsafe. In this episode of talkswithmiah, I explore the emotional impact Abuse has on self-worth, relationships, and the ability to trust again.I discuss the tactics abusers use, such as love bombing, manipulation, emotional conditioning, and control, and how these experiences can leave survivors feeling unworthy of love long after the relationship ends. This episode sheds light on why survivors may struggle with intimacy, fear vulnerability, or feel drawn to familiarity rather than peace.Most importantly, this conversation offers reassurance and support to anyone who feels discouraged, broken, or undeserving of healthy love. Healing doesn’t follow a set path, but it is possible, and you are still worthy of love, safety, and consistency.This episode is created to spread awareness, encourage healing, and remind victims and survivors that they are not alone.

In this episode, we dive deep into the question many survivors ask: Why do Abusers Abuse? We explore the root causes behind abusive behaviour, from control, insecurity, and learned patterns, to emotional immaturity and deep-seated psychological issues. This episode sheds light on the mindset of abusers, the tactics they use to maintain power, and how manipulation becomes their weapon of choice. Understanding the “why” doesn’t excuse their actions, it empowers survivors to recognise the red flags, break free from the cycle, and begin to heal.

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about therapy, faith, and healing, and how to find what truly works best for you. Your journey is personal, and healing starts when you give yourself permission to grow.I open up about the importance of allowing yourself to heal in your own time, without pressure or comparison. For some, healing comes through prayer and faith; for others, it’s through therapy, reflection, or simply learning to feel safe again. There’s no right or wrong way, what matters is that you keep showing up for yourself.Together, we’ll explore how faith and therapy can work hand in hand, how to release shame, and how to embrace the process of becoming whole again.If you’re on a journey of rebuilding your peace, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and it starts with you.

Leaving abuse isn’t the end, it’s the beginning of a new chapter. In this episode of TalksWMiah, I open up about the aftermath of Abuse and the journey of navigating life without that stronghold. We’ll talk about the challenges survivors often face, grief, identity loss, boundaries, finding safe support, and battling the inner critic, and how to begin rebuilding a life that feels safe, authentic, and truly yours.This conversation is a reminder that freedom isn’t just about leaving abuse, it’s about learning to live and thrive beyond it. Whether you’re a survivor or supporting someone on their journey, this episode will bring encouragement, hope, and practical steps for healing.

This short but essential episode covers how to co-parent safely with an Abuser, including key Boundaries to set and the Legal Protections that can help keep you and your child/children safe.

This is a quick but important episode on PTSD. This is an episode I have been wanting to share with you all for a while now which is why I posted it today instead of Sunday but I will be back to pasting fortnightly episodes starting from 16/12/23.

Please leave me a review on Spotify and Apple Podcast after listening to this episode. 💛

Been off the radar for months because of my health but, I will be posting Episode 4 this Sunday 💛

In this episode, myself and my cousin discuss our experiences with a Narcissist and whether we as individuals attract them or is it the simple fact that they target vulnerable people.

🙏🏾Do it imperfectly, Do it even if you’re scared, just DO it. 🙏🏾 . Someone needs what you have to offer. . Done is better than perfect. . This wasn't the most polished presentation. . We made mistakes but we decided to post the interview because someone needs to hear this. . 🤗💢You might feel broken right now but You can recover from being a victim and rise successfully and You will smile again. . Myself & @sharlenethelifecoach teamed up to conduct our first Domestic Abuse awareness interview. . It wasn’t an easy process to share my story, it being my first interview I was nervous, but I for one hope it will enable others to feel empowered by it, to see survival is possible but not only that, there is the ability to move forward reclaiming the essence of who you are and to thrive. . Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Send the link to someone who you think needs this.

Domestic Abuse is a topic that frequently happens but is rarely spoken about. There are so many different opinions and interpretations of what Domestic Abuse is and why it’s not taken as serious as it should be. Here on ‘Talks with Miah’ we’re going to be talking about everything, from what domestic abuse is, who are the targets and why domestic abuse is not always reported to the authorities, we’re gonna be talking about narcissists and narcissistic abuse, plus much much more. I will have some special guests who are victims and survivors of abuse to get an insight on what they would say the signs of abuse are, the red flags and their experiences. I will also be talking about my own personal experiences with domestic abuse so make sure you tune in every other Sunday night at 11pm on Anchor.
