Be A Better You

Be A Better You

Allison K. Dagney

The Be a Better You Podcast (formerly The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast) is hosted by Best Selling Author and Certified Rapid ReprogrammingTM Coach, Allison K. Dagney. As a young adult, I met a man who I believed was the love of my life. We got married quickly and brought three kids into the world. But something was wrong. I was miserable. And I blamed myself for all the problems in our marriage. What I didn't know, was that I was being emotional abused by who I believe is a narcissist. I decided it was time to break free and step into the person I was always meant to be — confident and free to live the life I’ve always imagined.

I escaped, and I turned my personal story of transformation into a memoir. And now I coach women all over the world to help them transform their pain into empowerment, experience peace and joy, and start living life like never before.

Did you know that there are stages of grief associated with narcissistic and emotional abuse? They follow the traditional stages of grief when it comes to a loss, but there are modified versions to this type of grief.
In this episode you will learn the different stages of grief so that you can identify where you are along your healing journey and move yourself to the next stage. The most important part is not staying in one stage for too long--so you can heal!
Emotional abuse often leaves us feeling like we have lost so much but the good news is we can recover. Learning about the stages, where you are and how to get yourself through every stage to heal is paramount!
If you need help moving through your own stages of grief after narcissistic abuse, send me a DM and let's chat!

In this episode, we explore the intricate process of recovering from betrayal trauma, going beyond the conventional notions of betrayal. I explore real-life examples that illustrate the diverse facets of betrayal, ranging from lies and gaslighting to emotional manipulation and financial betrayals in various relationship dynamics after emotional and narcissistic abuse. My goal is to shed light on the nuanced experiences of individuals who have faced these challenges and create a space for empathy and understanding. As always, I will get into the realm of subconscious healing, offering practical strategies to challenge ingrained thought patterns. Listeners will discover techniques such as cognitive restructuring, mindfulness practices and emotional releases aimed at fostering healing from within. Listen in as I provide insights and tools for those on the journey to recovery. Additionally, don't miss out on my featured event, the 3 Day Thriver Event starting on January 24th at 7 pm EST, where we'll go even deeper into practical and subconscious healing strategies.

Have you ever been so sure you knew something—only to realize later you were way off? In this episode, we dive into the timeless wisdom of Socrates and his famous quote, “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” We’ll explore why embracing what you don’t know isn’t a weakness but a superpower that can lead to deeper growth, clarity, and transformation.

I’ll share two humbling stories from my own life—one where my overconfidence in fixing something at home led to a bigger mess, and another about writing my first self-help book without seeking guidance, only to be overwhelmed by edits. Both moments taught me the difference between certainty, confidence, and intuition—and why staying curious and open is the key to navigating life’s challenges.

Whether you’re facing a decision, working on personal growth, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others, this episode will inspire you to let go of the need to have all the answers. Join me as we explore how embracing the unknown can transform the way you approach life, relationships, and even yourself to help you become a better YOU!

In this empowering episode of The Be A Better You Podcast, we delve into the intricate web of self-sabotage that often impedes women from reaching their full potential. By unraveling the concept of self-sabotage, we explore common behaviors and limiting beliefs deeply ingrained in the subconscious mind that create a comfort cocoon, hindering personal and professional growth. Using the metaphor of a protective shell, we illustrate how self-sabotage can become a barrier to achieving dreams. The episode provides tangible tips for breaking free from this self-imposed confinement, encouraging women to challenge limiting beliefs, practice self-compassion, and embrace a growth mindset. Join us on this transformative journey as we guide you through understanding, overcoming, and ultimately soaring beyond the clutches of self-sabotage, empowering you to be a better version of yourself in all areas of life.

I am challenging a prevailing myth among survivors of emotional abuse—the belief that narcissists are inherently smarter. Join us on a journey to redefine intelligence and break free from the constraints of this damaging misconception.
Here's what's inside:
1. Defining Intelligence

  • Explore the multifaceted nature of intelligence, encompassing cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions.
  • Highlight the importance of problem-solving, critical thinking, adaptability, empathy, and self-awareness.

2. The Narcissist's Playbook

  • Examine common traits of narcissists and how they often operate from a limited, repetitive playbook.
  • Contrast the rigid tactics of narcissists with the flexibility and original thinking associated with intelligence.

3. Impact on the Victim's Mindset

  • Discuss how victims may perceive their abusers as smarter and the profound impact on self-worth.
  • Challenging these beliefs to embrace our own intelligence.

4. Self-Reflection and Empowerment

  • Dive into the power of self-reflection as a tool for personal growth.

Imagine healing after tough times is like going on a journey. Sometimes, there are things in your mind that act like invisible roadblocks, stopping you from feeling better. These are like hidden obstacles from hard experiences, making it tricky to move ahead without realizing. We can compare these unseen obstacles to roadblocks on a journey. By thinking about questions and understanding your feelings, it's like finding and removing these roadblocks. Once you figure out and deal with these hidden obstacles, it's like clearing the way for a smoother journey. This helps you move forward toward feeling better and stronger, just like when you clear a path for yourself.
