I Thought I Was the Problem… Until I Learned This Was Abuse | Just a Farm Wife Podcast

In this deeply honest episode of Just a Farm Wife, Tara sits down with narcissistic abuse coach Kyle Miller for a conversation about emotional abuse, gaslighting, trauma, people pleasing, and what happens when you spend your entire life carrying everyone else.
