Meet your host
Hi, I’m Taylor! I’m a Psychologist, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, and someone who has walked the path you're on. Growing up with a narcissistic parent, I intimately understand the self-doubt and relentless search for identity that can come with this upbringing. I was plagued by the question: "Who am I, really?" It took years of introspection and self-discovery for me to find answers to that question. Now I’m on a mission to help others who have suffered from toxic and narcissistic upbringings to do the same.
My passion and purpose are to help people raised by narcissistic parents to reclaim their sense of self, peace, and purpose. What’s become clear to me through this work and my own journey is that healing together is a powerful source of strength and inspiration. That's why I decided to create this summit. You are not alone – you are part of a community that understands, supports, and empowers.
